Macadamia Fudge Fingers

I was trying to think of a great sweet recipe to share with all of you, and when I thought of what my family and friends love every time I knew I had to share with you all a recipe to make Macadamia Fudge Fingers. It’s a great slice that my Mum always loves to make for a plate to take to parties, and I have learnt myself just how quick and easy it is. Perfect for those that are looking for something to make that’s delicious and not too overwhelmingly sweet. 

Ingredients:

•  250g plain sweet biscuits, crushed
• 1 cup dessicated coconut
• ½ cup cocoa powder
• 1 ¼ cups (150g) crushed macadamia nuts
• 400g can condensed milk
• 60g butter, melted
• 80g dark chocolate melts
• 80g white chocolate melts

          Makes 40 depending on cut sizes

Method:

1. Line base and sides of a shallow 30 x 20cm cake tin with foil, extending over 2 sides. Brush foil with oil or melted butter. 

2. Place crushed biscuits, coconut, cocoa and nuts in a large mixing bowl making a well in the centre. Add condensed milk and melted butter, stirring well until combined.

3. Spoon mixture into the prepared tin and press in firmly. Use the back of a metal spoon to smooth the surface. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

4. Using the foil, lift the slice from the tin, and then gently peel away foil. Using a sharp knife, cut into fingers.

5. Melt chocolate melts in 2 separate heatproof bowls. Stand bowls over pans of simmering water, stirring until chocolate has melted and is smooth. Cool slightly before piping over each finger- this is where you can be creative with piping the chocolate if you like. Many times we have piped stars or other shapes for Christmas for something different.

If it hasn't been all eaten straight away, you can store these in an airtight container in a cool, dark place or in the fridge in hot weather and they can last up to 2 weeks. 

(Unfortunately despite making this many times before I have no photos to share with you, luckily I have found this one to give you an idea. Image sourced from: https://ivarthesalacious.com/2013/07/01/power-of-cake/79-slices-macadamia-fudge-fingers-2/)
