Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal. Alternatively, grease the pan well.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the dark chocolate, condensed milk, and butter.
- Over low heat, gently stir the mixture until everything is melted and smooth. Be careful not to let it boil. This should take about 5-10 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat.
- Drain any excess rum from the soaked raisins, then fold the raisins into the melted chocolate mixture until evenly distributed.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Smooth the top as much as possible.
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until completely set. For a firmer texture, leave it in the fridge longer.
- Once the fudge is set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
- Cut into squares using a sharp knife.
8. Store:
- Store the fudge squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be kept for up to 2 weeks.
Tips:
- Choosing the Rum: Use a high-quality dark or spiced rum for a deeper flavor profile. If you prefer a less intense rum flavor, you can use a lighter rum.
- Melting the Chocolate: Melt the chocolate slowly over a double boiler to avoid burning. You can also melt it in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between.
- Soaking the Raisins: Soak the raisins in rum for at least 1 hour to let them absorb the flavor fully. For a stronger taste, soak them overnight.
- Setting the Fudge: Allow the fudge to set in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours or overnight for best results. This will ensure the fudge is firm and easy to cut into squares.
- Storage: Store the fudge squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to two weeks.
