Fudge

Technically, this isn't really fudge. Not like the fudge you would buy, at any rate. Nevertheless it is very nice, and maybe slightly addictive. It reminds me of parties, as this recipe is a good one for such things: little pieces of pure sugary omnomness... (I'm not surprised that got a red underline) Anyway, bake away!
P.S. There are marshmallows in this recipe, but they aren't really that obvious in the fudge, so if you don't like them this might still be worth a shot.

Fudge
Prep time: 30 mins plus 4 hours chilling.
Serves: Makes 50 pieces, so about 25 people at a party or less if it is a dessert.

Ingredients
350g  icing sugar, sifted
75g unsalted butter
4 tsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
75g pink and white marshmallows (colour not compulsory.. but it lends a girly touch to the fudge :) )
sprinkles/ edible glitter to decorate
18cm square baking tin (or lots of little tubs, e.g. take-away tubs)

Method

1. Line a baking tin with greaseproof paper, cut to size.
2. Sift the icing sugar into a large bowl, to form a nice peak. Make a hollow in the top with a spoon. Set aside.
   
3. Put butter, milk and vanilla essence into a small pan. Taking a pair of kitchen scissors, cut the marshmallows in two and add them to the pan. Alternatively, rip them or buy the mini variety.
   
    
4. Heat very gently and stir with a wooden spoon until it has completely melted into a pink sugary soup. Mmm.
   
5. Pour the warm mixture into the icing and stir in quickly, until everything has formed a smooth mixture.
   
   
   
   
6. Pour the fudge into the baking tin/tubs and flatten down with a spoon to form a nice smooth top.
   
   
   
   
   
7. Sprinkle over the sprinkles, and press in with your fingers. Let the fudge cool.
   
8. Chill for two hours, away from strong-smelling foods.
9. Loosen the edges of the fudge with a blunt knife and turn it out onto a board. Remove the greaseproof paper.
10. Turn the fudge over and cut into squares. (Difficult- it is sticky!) Chill for another two hours in an airtight container.
    
    The fudge keeps for a week in the fridge.
