Fruit and Nut Chocolate Fudge

I LOVE FUDGE! And I love how easy it is to make and it goes a looooong way with gifts and feeding a crowd! I used to think fruit and nut chocolate was for ‘old people’, but I guess I fall in that boat now as my husband and I really enjoy it!! Chocolate fudge can’t be that bad for you if there is fruit and nuts in it, right???

Milo 3 in 1

You will be familiar with this name ‘Milo 3 in 1’ if you are from or know someone from Malaysia or Singapore! I grew up with this and looooooove it! Milo 3 in 1 are pre packaged sachets with Milo, creamer/milk powder and sugar and all you need to do is add hot water (or add hot water/cold water and ice if you want it cold). It tastes much lighter than the usual Milo + milk and is just so easy to prepare! I sometimes find the sachets in Chinese grocery shops here, however they taste really different from the ones in Malaysia. As it contains dairy, the Malaysian Milo 3 in 1 sachets are something that we haven’t been able to bring back home after trips to Malaysia! This is my version, which isn’t as sweet as the original Milo 3 in 1 sachets that I’ve grown up with (as my ageing tastebuds prefer less sugar!), but is amazingly satisfying and brings back all my childhood memories! This makes it so easy to get my Milo hit (as the boys in my house are always guzzling up the fresh milk in the house! This is also a great gift idea!

Add all ingredients to bowl.

Mix 10 seconds/Speed 9. Store in an airtight container.
