Made this on the weekend…so good!!! Remember making this when I was young. No egg issues for me…I made sure to just melt (not boil) the ingredients and then remove from heat to rapidly beat in the egg with a wooden spoon and then the crushed biscuits…

This recipe failed for me, after reading one of the comments regarding not enough fudge to cover the biscuits I halved the biscuits, even still I came up short on fudge so had to rush out another batch and still not enough fudge, also a size of the dish that suits this recipe would help. It’s in the fridge, Looks like needs a third batch of fudge to bring a better balance, but will see in a few hours.

I don’t use egg in this recipe, doesn’t need it really. I substitute sugar for condensed milk it’s way yummier. Sticky & chewy but delicious, has that caramel texture. Once set I slowly heat up Whittaker’s milk chocolate with a tiny bit of butter and a dash of cream, pour that ganache over top, set and yummo! Great with a hot cuppa.

After all, you’re melting it! Ie 1/2 a cup.Reply

My mother made this for me when I was a kid and I now make it for my kids.
But for the people that have had the problem with the egg cooking in the fudge….. try putting your egg in with the butter sugar and cocoa powder before you put it on the stove top.
I also put into it half a cup of chopped dried raisins and chopped walnuts and you can play around with the essence flavoring…… I have used orange run strawberrie and peppermint essences in the pastReply

A couple of problems.
1. It didn’t make enough fudge to cover a pack of wine biscuits.
2. The egg cooked in the fudge so I ended up with bits of cooked egg in my slice.
Any advice?Reply

Double your mixture (having more is better than having less) make sure your mixture isn’t boiling hot or on the stove when you put the egg in. Hopefully that helps.

Dont think the description in the recipe is clear. I add the biscuits to the hot butter sugar cocoa and then mixed in the egg so it doesn’t cook before. The hot butter mix doesn’t get ‘poured over’ the biscuits. … it gets thoroughly mixed with the biscuits and egg. Have been making this for 55 years. Everyone loves it.

Thank you for your advice, mines setting now and covered the packet of biscuits and no egg cooking in the batch

I think we’ve all had problems with the egg cooking but I find this approach works. Once the butter has melted I take the saucepan off the stove then add the egg. Then I quickly use a whisk (Quite vigorously) to break up the egg and bring everything together. I’d there are a few threads of cooked egg white the whisk will generally deal to them.
Warning – this approach can get messy so make sure you use a decent sized saucepan.Reply

Oh my goodness this is yummy!
I used low fat spread, sucroloae, Cocoa powder and rich tea biscuits (in UK) and this came out stunning!
Brilliant thanks!
