Strawberry and Pecan Chocolate Fudge

Here is the Chocolate fudge I promised, first time I've made it, and it came out great!
You can substitute any fruit or nuts etc, depending what you have in your cupboard, or preference.



1lb Sugar
1/4 pint of Milk
5oz Butter
4oz Plain Chocolate
2oz Clear Honey

2tbsp freeze dried strawberries
4oz Chopped Pecans

Place all ingredients(except fruit and nuts), in heavy bottomed pan.
Stir over a low heat until dissolved.
Bring to the boil gently and simmer, stirring occasionally for aprox 10 mins, until a little of the mixture, dropped into cold water, forms a soft ball.

Remove from the heat and stand in cool place for 10 mins,
Add strawberries and nuts and beat mixture until thick and starts to become grainy,

Pour into a greased and lined 8x6" tin, and mark into squares.

When cold cut into squares and store in air tight container.

Enjoy!
