Biscuit fudge

A lunchbox favourite with a crumbly twist, this no-bake fudge is rich, nostalgic, and perfect for sharing (or saving for yourself).

MAKES: Around 24 squares

This biscuit fudge has been a family recipe for many years – I remember opening my lunchbox and smiling with glee when I saw Mum had packed some in. Make sure not to crush the biscuits too finely; you want more of a rubble than fine crumbs. This is best made the night before, ready for morning tea the following day.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Grease and line a rectangular brownie tin.
  2. In a small saucepan, gently melt the butter and sugar. Remove from the heat.
  3. Crush the wine biscuits into a rubble. I find it is easiest to put the biscuits in a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to break them up.
  4. Whisk the egg into the melted butter and sugar. Stir in the sifted cocoa with a wooden spoon, then the wine biscuit pieces.
  5. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared tin, smoothing the top with the back of a wooden spoon. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, until fully set.
  6. Cut into squares, and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
