Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Dark chocolate — Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa solids for the best flavor.
  • Biscuits — Choose biscuits that have a good crunch and complement the chocolate flavor. Digestive biscuits or chocolate chip cookies work well in this recipe.

Tips & Tricks

  • For added texture, you can mix in some chopped nuts or dried fruits into the fudge mixture before refrigerating.
  • If you prefer a sweeter fudge, you can use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate.
  • Experiment with different types of biscuits to create unique flavor combinations.
