Ingredients for the Best Rum and Raisin Fudge
Using high-quality ingredients is the key to making a fudge that truly stands out. For this recipe, you’ll need:
- White chocolate: The creamy base that ties all the flavours together.
- Condensed Milk: This is the binder that will keep everything together and will give that fudgy texture
- Raisins: Soaked in rum for a plump and juicy texture.
- Rum: Adds a warming, boozy depth that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the chocolate.
For best results, allow your raisins to soak in rum overnight. This extra step ensures they absorb all the rich flavour, making every bite of fudge irresistibly delicious.

Melt your white chocolate and condensed milk together until smooth, stir in the rum-soaked raisins, and pour the mixture into a lined 9'' x 9'' pan.

- Enjoy!
For the best flavour, soak your raisins in rum overnight to ensure they’re plump and packed with rich, boozy goodness. If you’re short on time, a quick soak of at least 4 hours will still work, but the longer, the better!
