There is a company here in South Africa, called The Fudge Factory, and you can watch them churn out huge portions of various flavoured fudges. For our first Christmas together, and before I knew I was sucrose intolerant, Dave gave me some chocolate fudge as a gift. I munched my way through the entire piece and I must say I enjoyed every bite. Since then I’ve not had any fudge and was quite happy to see some sugar free fudge for sale at Wild Oats market in Sedgefield. I bought a block of chocolate fudge and it has sat in the cupboard patiently waiting for me to eat it! In a creative mood I decided to add it to some chocolate brownie mixture and use up some phyllo pastry I have lurking in the freezer. These Chocolate Fudge Brownie Parcels came out quite well in my opinion, even though they take some work.
do you eat fudge?

They look amazing, Tandy! Chocolate is something I don’t enjoy very often, but I would love to try these 🙂
I am a chocoholic Giovanna 🙂
The pastry rolls look great, Tandy!
Did you try lining the muffin forms with paper? I’ve had my share of battling with phyllo pastry and I am always grateful for some advice on how to cope with it! 😉
I didn’t line them with paper. This was the first time I had tried this and they came out OK, except for the lips where I forgot to butter the pan 🙂
Yummy! Those sound good 🙂
they were very good Claire 🙂
Adorable!
Two weekends ago, I had my daughter’s Birthday party at home and had done a dessert table for the little girls. This would have been a perfect addition to the table. I will add this next time for sure. These are just too cute!!!
