How has 2016 been treating you so far? Good I hope! It feels as though things have gotten off to a flying start here at Cupcakes and Couscous HQ with lots of little projects on the go. Just the way I like it.
I feel as though I must start by apologising for today’s recipe. I am not big on New Year’s resolutions (particularly dietary ones!) for a few reasons which I will not bore you with today, however after the silly season I have been trying to cut back on the sugary treats, and I appreciate that many of you are probably in the same boat. Having said that though I do believe in balance and that a delicious morsel here and there will not hurt too much. Also, I feel slightly less guilty now that January is (only just) behind us.
This recipe is a variation on the chocolate cherry fudge recipe I published in 2013. Let me start by saying that this is not just a fudge recipe. It is made with a dual purpose sugar syrup that not only tastes delicious but makes an excellent and effective adhesive, if say for example you wanted to glue your recipe notes to the kitchen counter. (Not that I would have any first hand experience of such an occurrence. Not me, no way.)
