Chilli chocolate fudge recipe
Created by The Tesco Recipes team
This moreish, fudgy Halloween treat is so simple to make – no boiling the mixture or thermometers in sight, but it still tastes amazing. Best of all is the ghostly decoration, which takes a bit more time, but enlist some little helpers and have some fun!

Method
- Grease and line a 20cm square baking tin with nonstick baking paper, leaving an overhang.
- Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 20-sec bursts, stirring between each. Stir in the vegetable oil. Set aside over a pan of just-boiled water.
- Put 200g of the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl with the milk chocolate, the condensed milk, chillies and salt. Heat on full power* for 1 min 40 secs, stirring every 20 secs, until almost melted; stir to finish melting (you may not need all the time). Quickly tip this into the tin and level with the back of a spoon.
- While still warm, spoon over the melted white chocolate, trailing off a little to create ghost shapes, then accentuate the tails further by gently dragging with a cocktail stick (don’t go too deeply into the fudge). Tap the tin to level, then chill for 3-4 hrs (or overnight) until set.
- Remove the fudge from the tin. Melt the remaining 25g of dark chocolate, place in a piping bag and pipe eyes and mouths onto the ghosts; chill for 15 mins. Scatter with extra crushed chillies, if you like, then cut into 49 pieces (7 x 7 rows). Will keep for up to 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
