Rolo Chocolate Fudge

My Rolo Chocolate Fudge is very decadent, also it has a good soft and chewy texture. It is incredibly quick and easy to make, perfect if you need to make something last minute.

I made this fudge using Rolo Bites at the supermarket. I love how you get pockets of oozing gooey caramel with each bite of fudge. 

The fudge is also good on its own, simply omit the Rolos!

1. Ingredients

I used Cadbury’s dark melting chocolate for this recipe. Each bag is 250 gr, so you would need two. I used 2 bags of Rolo Bites for this recipe, they’re essentially smaller Rolos. If you can’t get them, using normal Rolos would be fine. You just need around 240 grams worth of them.

2. Equipment

I used a square tin (20cm/8 inch) with some baking paper for this recipe. You also need a double boiler (bain marie) which is essentially a small pot filled with a little water with large heat proof bowl on top. You melt the chocolate slowly inside the large heat proof bowl. This ensures that the ingredients melt gently, something that chocolate needs to avoid scorching. You also need a spatula. 

3. How do I melt chocolate well?

When melting chocolate, remember -small, dry and low. Firstly, ensure all of your equipment is dry as water tends to ruin chocolate. Chocolate melts much quicker and better if it is chopped into small pieces. If your chocolate seizes (becomes lumpy), I would add a teaspoon of warmed oil and stir until it is smooth. 

4. Microwave it instead

Instead of using a double boiler, you can place the ingredients (chocolate, condensed milk and unsalted butter) into a heat proof large bowl or measuring jug. When microwaving it, make sure the setting is at low-medium so that it doesn’t scorch your chocolate. I always melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second bursts while mixing the chocolate between each burst until fully melted. 

5. Getting clean cuts

Your fudge should be cut once it is cold. Dip a chefs’ knife in hot water and wipe, then cut the fudge. You should dip it in hot water, then wipe before cutting it each time.

 500 g dark melting chocolate
 75 g unsalted butter
 400 ml condensed milk (one can)
 ½ tsp vanilla extract
 240 g Rolo Chocolate Bites (2 bags)

1

Spray a square (20cm/8inch) baking tin with oil spray and line with baking paper. Set aside.

Scatter half of the Rolos from one bag (60gr) onto the bottom of the lined tin, then place half of the chocolate fudge mixture on top. Scatter the remaining Rolos (60gr) on top of the chocolate fudge in the tin. Place the remaining fudge into the tin. Open the last bag of Rolos (120gr) and scatter on top of the fudge. Cover and place in the fridge for around 2 hours.
