An irresistible treat, so easy to make! The perfect little gift - put your delicious home-made vanilla fudge into our brown or white pla window bags and tie with a ribbon for that perfect little hostess or Christmas pressie.

Ingredients

• A little oil for greasing
• 300 ml milk
• 350 g caster sugar
• 100 g butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

1. Grease an 18cm square cake tin.
2. Put the milk, sugar and butter in a heavy-based saucepan. Heat slowly, stirring all the time, until the sugar has dissolved and the butter melted.
3. Bring to the boil and boil for 15-20 minutes, stirring all the time.
4. When the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (115°C on a sugar thermometer), remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Leave to cool for 5 minutes.
5. Beat the mixture with a spoon for a few minutes until it starts to thicken and the gloss disappears.
6. Pour into the prepared tin and leave to set at room temperature (do not put it in the fridge).
7. Once set, cut the fudge into small squares and store in a sealed container.

All that is left is to wrap them into individual presents.
