A clever mother has come up with a 'game changing'chocolate fudge recipe using just chocolate, sugar and water.

'Yes traditionally the tiniest amount of water can mess up your beautifully melted chocolate, causing it to seize.
'However I recently discovered that chocolate and water actually do mix! And they mix exquisitely. The secret is in the temperature and quantity.'
The mother melts the chocolate for just 20 seconds before stirring it around the mixing bowl. She then puts it back into the microwave for another 10 second blast.

She follows that by mixing the sugar and water together, before combining it with the liquid chocolate.
Whisking through the mixture carefully it should fully combine with no lumps or bumps leftover.
Then allow it time to set in the fridge, before cutting it into squares and dusting with cocoa powder.
'The water is just enough to give a smooth and melty texture without taking away the cocoa flavour leaving it intensely chocolatey, and does not taste "watered down" at all,' she said.

She called it a 'game changer' and a 'very unique' recipe to try
'And because it's softened with water instead of milk it doesn't mask the cocoa by imparting the nuances of soy or nuts or cow's milk.'

And the comments on the Facebook thread confirmed other women were keen to try the chocolate treats.
