Salted Nutella Fudge


Continuing my quest for chocolate this week I had a mooch through the backlog of recipes I have yet to try and I stumbled across Salted Nutella Fudge.  I have been wanting to try fudge recipes for quite a while but for one reason or another I haven't quite made the leap. What appealed about this recipe was that I had the few ingredients needed and very little effort seemed to be involved. I just melted all the ingredients together and spread out onto a baking sheet, sprinkled with rock salt and allowed to set for a few hours. I chopped my slab of fudge into cubes. and had a taste. At first I was unsure of the salt, but I found it intensifies the depth of chocolate flavour. After sharing with family and friends, much of their feedback was that they didn't like the salt but the fudge was delicious. I cant wait to try fudge making again!

Herby Focaccia Bread

Normally I like to make sweet treats to suit my sweet tooth but the other night I asked my boyo to teach me some bread making skills. He has been making bread a LOT recently and I really wanted to be part of that action. I enjoyed the method of 'beating' the dough instead of regular kneading and the results were fantastic. A light airy Focaccia seasoned with rock salt and Rosemary made a delicious tasty treat for snacking and a lovely sandwich for lunch at work the next day.
