RECIPE NOTES & 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.
