In the next to last episode of my Xmas Calendar, me and my hubby is making Christmas fudge. This might be a totally confusing episode for everyone who’s not Swedish as we’re making fun of a Swedish television show throughout the episode.

Fudge
2 cups/dl of double cream
2 cups/dl white sugar
2 cups/dl sirup
scalded, finely chopped almonds
mix everything in a pan and cook until it’s 120°C (or 123° if you want a chewier fudge)
