- Rum - You can use any type of rum for this recipe (white, gold or dark). I generally recommend using a darker rum (like Captain Morgan).
- Raisins - these are larger than sultanas and soak up the rum when heated. Alternatively, you can use sultanas if that's what you have on hand.
- Chocolate - I recommend using a good quality milk or dark chocolate (like Cadbury, Lindt, Nestle or Hersheys.
- Raw Sugar - also known as granulated sugar.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk - use full fat (not skim) sweetened condensed milk as it sets firmer.
- Butter - use salted or unsalted butter.

Step 1 - Infuse The Raisins With Rum
Place the rum and raisins into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30 second bursts (2-3 bursts). Set aside while you prepare the fudge.

Add the almonds and rum/raising mixture and mix on REVERSE to combine.

Expert Tips
- Use a good quality chocolate - it makes a huge difference to the final product. I recommend Cadbury, Nestle or Lindt.
- Use roasted (not natural or raw) almonds - you can buy these from the supermarket.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum and replace with water when heating the raisins.
- Once cooked, the fudge will set very quickly - make sure your tin is prepared ahead of time.
- Be careful as the mixture will be extremely hot when transferring to the baking tin!
- Storing - fudge can be made up to 3 weeks ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Place sheets of baking paper between the layers of fudge to avoid them sticking to one another.
