Ooooo....sounds yummy....if you find it, would love a copy

It is

You'll need to make double cos I guarantee you'll eat half of what you make.

Absolutely.

Isn't it just egg white, icing sugar and peppermint essence/oil?

I haven't made Peppermint creams since I was about 11 years old.......so, at LEAST 5 years ago

Now, how do I divide the sweets in one jar so that they don't taste of each other.....or is that not a good idea

Divinity? A merangue type candy that is to die for. Chopped nuts can be added, or preserved bits of fruits. I know it's squishy when made, then dries out a bit. Pop into the mouth, and it's pure melty heaven. I never made it, but sure liked eating it!

If you're going to make fudge, try this one. It's that good I get asked constantly by my colleagues to make more, and we even knocked up a couple of batches as part of our wedding favours last year. Fudge Recipe

Chocolate & Ginger fudge (from Country Living)

Makes about 800g
500g granulated sugar
150ml whole milk
150g unsalted butter
150g plain chocolate
50g clear honey (or I use the syrup from the ginger jar)
about 110g stem ginger, chopped.

Line a 22 x 18 x 4cm baking tin (or similar) with cling film. Fill a large bowl with cold water.

Heat everything except ginger slowly in a heavy pan until sugar is disolved.

Bring to boil and stir occasionally until the fudge reaches 116C (soft ball stage) Dip the pan into the cold water then leave it on a cold surface for 5 mins to prevent crumbliness.

Beat the fudge for 5-10 mins until it'svery thick. Stir in the ginger, pour into the tin and leave until set.

Then eat it all at once.

I thought that might appeal t a few of us. It's very hard to stop once you've started.
