EASY CHOCOLATE & PISTACHIO FUDGE

What a lovely little gift this would make… if it survives long enough to be wrapped!

MAKES about 50 squares PREP 10min, plus chilling

250g (9oz) dark chocolate, finely chopped

100g (3½oz) milk chocolate, finely chopped

350g (12oz) condensed milk 1tsp vanilla extract

50g (2oz) pistachios, roughly chopped Line a 15cm x 23cm (6in x 9in) roasting tin with baking parchment. Put the dark and milk chocolate and condensed milk into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Leave to melt, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is smooth and shiny. Stir in the vanilla extract and pour the mixture into the prepared tin. Level the surface and sprinkle over the pistachios, pressing the nuts lightly into the fudge. Cover and chill for about 3hr, until firm. Store in the fridge for up to 1 month. Cut into 2.5cm (1in) squares. Wrap in tissue paper and place in a box, or present in pretty cellophane bags, if giving as a gift.
