Here’s the latest recipe from our Brand Ambassador, Chef Shane Smith. Take a look at why this delicious Recipe is very special to him and conjures him so many happy memories:

“Many moons ago when I lived in Canada, I worked in a confectionery shop that specialised in making hand paddled fudge. I lost count of the amount I made but I will never forget that sweet buttery smell. While working there and over the years, I have tried out countless fudge recipes but I keep coming back to this one. It’s super simple to make and I never tire of the creamy fudge texture paired with walnut and raisins, its truly beautiful. Don’t take my word for it, try it yourselves.”

Notes

If you fancy making an adult fudge, soak the Gem raisins in some dark rum beforehand. Rum raisin walnut fudge is a gorgeous combination.
