5 genius ways with fudge

Berry-and-fudge flapjacks

Ladle a little batter into a hot nonstick pan, then sprinkle over a little fudge. Turn to cook the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve hot with mascarpone and a dusting of cinnamon.

DIY chocolate-covered fudge
Cut 1 x 165 g bar Woolworths handcrafted vanilla-flavoured fudge into blocks. Melt 200–300g dark or milk chocolate, then dip each block of fudge into the chocolate to coat it evenly. Sprinkle the top of each block with finely chopped pistachios or silver balls, set in the fridge and serve with a cheeseboard or with coffee after dinner.

No-bake fudge cheesecake

Fold in 1 x 385 g can condensed milk, the juice of 1/2 lemon and 2 x 165 g bars chopped Woolworths handcrafted vanilla-flavoured fudge. Pour the mixture over your favourite chocolate digestive or ginger biscuit base, smooth the top and chill overnight to set.

Fudge-topped banana loaf
