Introduction

Creamy, dreamy and rich, with a hint of tang from the buttermilk. Coat it in chocolate (dark or white) for an extra special treat - as a bonus it keeps longer!

Directions

Mix sugars, buttermilk, cocoa and food colouring in a heavy saucepan.
Whisk until well blended and place on medium high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring almost constantly.
Cook until the mixture hits 243-244F.
Stop stirring and remove from heat. Add butter and vanilla at this time but do not stir in.
Cool until mixture reaches less than 150F.
With an electric mixer (I recommend a stand mixer with the paddle attachment) beat for 10 minutes, until fudge loses it sheen.
Pour into a well greased, foil lined 9x5" loaf pan.
Chill 2-3 hours, until firm.
