How to make gingerbread fudge

• This recipe begins with butter, condensed milk, brown sugar and molasses. If you don’t have access to molasses, you could use golden syrup or treacle instead. In a medium saucepan, heat on low until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Your mixture should be nice and smooth.
• Turn heat up to medium and let mixture simmer and slowly thicken. Be sure to stir your mixture constantly. Once your mixture has thickened, remove from the heat and add chocolate, spices and salt.
• The blend of spices make for a tasty and strong gingerbread flavour. If you want a more mild approach, consider halving the ginger and removing the cloves. However, if you love gingerbread, you’ll likely enjoy this creamy spiced fudge just the way it is.
• Place fudge back on the heat until the chocolate has melted and fudge is thick and smooth. Transfer to a baking pan lined with baking paper and place in the fridge to set.
