Easy Homemade Chocolate Fudge

Measure the sugar and water into a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.

Once the sugar has fully dissolved and the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes. This timing is crucial; less time will result in very soft fudge, while more time will make it too hard and dry.

Remove the pan from the heat, add the butter, and stir until it has completely melted.

Add the powdered milk and whisk until smooth to prevent lumps. 

Finally, add the cocoa powder and flavors, mixing well to ensure a lump-free, uniform mixture.

Pour the mixture into a 20x20cm tray, greased and lined with food-safe plastic wrap.

Decorate with walnuts, hazelnuts, or raisins on top, and refrigerate until it sets well, about 3-4 hours.

After the chilling time, invert the fudge onto a board or table with the back side facing up.

If the fudge contains nuts, cut it from the top down for neater slices.

Cut into your preferred sizes; smaller pieces are recommended due to the fudge's richness.

Serve your homemade chocolate fudge with a hot cup of tea or coffee.

Enjoy your meal!
