Ingredients

400 g sweetened condensed milk
100 g peanuts or 100 g cashews (or use a mixture of nuts)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
50 g butter
3/4 cup sugar

Method

Use butter to grease a shallow dish.
Place the condensed milk into a heavy-based pan.
Mix in the butter, sugar, cocoa powder and your chopped nuts.
Cook while stirring constantly until the mixture pulls away from the pan's sides, which should take about 15 minutes.
Take the pan off the heat and transfer the mixture to the buttered dish, spreading it evenly.
Let it cool completely and set before slicing into 1 inch squares.
Keep the fudge in an airtight container stored in the refrigerator.
