have changed the recipe around a bit to make it clearer - thanks for pointing it out. Let us know how you go - making fudge is fun but can be tricky and I guess you will want to experiment with flavourings and quantities etc. to find out which ones are the best for you!
Also it says "chosen flavourings (see below)" and i can't see anything about flavourings below and in the method it says to put all the ingredients in the pan except the flavour and then never says where to put it in.
