    This is the recipe i used which was kindly supplied by Lisa H from SS. Its a winner, wont use any other recipe for fudge from now on. You can make all sorts of combinations to your liking.

    MICROWAVE FUDGE
    (From Family Circle Christmas Special 2008)

    395g can sweetened condensed milk
    1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    125g butter, chopped
    2 tbsp liquid glucose
    200g good quality dark chocolate, finely chopped
    3/4 cp pistachios, chopped (or other nuts)
    30ml Baileys Irish Cream liqueur (or other)

    1. Lightly grease base and sides of a 20cm (base) square cake tin. Line base and sides with non-stick baking paper, allowing a 3cm overhang on all sides.
    2. Combine the condensed milk, sugar, butter and glucose in a 2-litre heatproof microwave-safe Pyrex bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on MEDIUM-HIGH/70% for 6-8 minutes or until mixture begins to boil, stirring every 2 minutes with a balloon whisk.
    3. Microwave mixture for a further 3-4 minutes on MEDIUM-HIGH/70% or until fudge is thick, golden and boils rapidly, stirring every minute with a wooden spoon. Carefully put the bowl on a board and set aside for 1 minute or until the bubbles subside. Add chocolate and stir until chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Stir in pistachios and liqueur.
    4. Spread mixture evenly into prepared tin. Set aside for 3-4 hours or until firm. Remove from tin, wrap in greaseproof or non-stick baking paper and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Cut into small pieces, to serve
