[@michelesoto5919]

Diane in Denmark for some reason I keep getting got utube warning & then Congratulations you won on my screen. Is it available somewhere else? Thank you Diane! I binge watch/listen when doing laundry or ironing!! Thank you for all your wonderful videos!!

[@DianeinDenmark]

Hi Michele! If you google "Nigella pistachio fudge" perhaps you can get a different link?

[@nawalsada3930]

thank you

[@michelesoto5919]

Diane in Denmark thank you Diane! That worked!! Still trying to figure youtube! 😃

[@reneebuddle180]

This looks so yummy!! Looking forward to making it with my wee girl 😊

[@marinazdravkovic7402]

Of course I remember life whitout internet..no mobile phone, just house phone. And you know what..it was not bad at all. Today you can not live whitout your mobile phone, internet..but it is becomeimng too much. Thank you for this video, you are just adorable person..hugs from Croatia😊

[@Karenkmc1]

WOW!!! I bet with white chocolate you'd see the red & green 🤗😋😘

[@luciegallagher2710]

What a fantastic video! I remember life before the internet! Phoning from the states to the UK all the time. Eventually, email became more widely available. I learnt to type on an old fashioned type writer!! The fudge looks delicious. Did you know if you scrunch up grease proof paper completely and then flatten it out again it makes it much easier to get into all the corners! X

[@DianeinDenmark]

Ooooo, great tip, Lucie - I shall steal that! [runs off to scrunch up some greaseproof paper]

[@hollyweaver7292]

That method of fudge making works well in the microwave as well. (1 minute on high then stir microwave for 15 seconds and stir until melted)

[@Mom28Kids]

I love Nigella too (as my family could all tell you)! I have almost all her cookbooks and I watch her old Christmas shows every year (when I can find them). I have made her mini mince pies for a few years now and they are awesome! I also have made this fudge several times and it's a go to in our family. I like your spin on it and will have to try that next time I make it. Thank you for all your encouragement - you have really been a lifesaver for me. And if it makes you feel better - I am almost 55. We're just getting better with age dear.

[@DianeinDenmark]

We are indeed! I love being 50...you can get away with anything! 😜

[@Mom28Kids]

Exactly :-D

[@veronicamelson7087]

Oh my word! This looks fantastic and is now on my holiday to do list🎄 40 years ago during our first married Christmas I tried to make fudge. It cooked it and boiled it, was worried it wasn’t “ soft ball” yet, so cooked it more. Poured it into a pan and into the fridge. When Dear Hubby came home I was so excited to give him so fudge. I dumped the block out and it was absolutely petrified! It could not be cut, or broken . I even tried a hammer , lol. Into the trash it went and is probably still a chocolate brick in a dump in Pennsylvania to this day. I have not made fudge since. Your recipe looks wonderful and I will try after 40 years😊

[@DianeinDenmark]

LOL! Yes, this method is SO much easier...just melt, stiry and leave to set in the fridge. Bingo!

[@lovetotravel5864]

Diane-made this last night and it didn’t set in fridge. After couple hours I put it n the freezer. It’s delicious but mine didn’t cut cleanly like yours. My hands were a Chocolaty mess while handling. Should I have cooked it longer than the melting stage? I make pralines and other candies but we’re subtropical and I’m thinking I probably should have cooked the mixture a little longer. Anyone have any suggestions?

[@diegeferenbach8065]

Great recipe I love Nigela This is specially good to give to all the teachers at Christmas time, in a little bag with a pretty ribbon it's always a hit. Really enjoying your recipes videos, sorry for not commenting all the time but appreciate it

[@marywhitehead2588]

Hands up! 😊

[@vivianbobka5239]

I have made this 2x so far! Terrific and a great gift. I made it using sugar substitute Lakanto Monk Fruit which worked perfectly. I made my own condensed milk--using the Lakanto as well. It's not that hard! Next I hope to make it with coconut cream instead of condensed milk. The recipe makes a lot of fudge! Thank you so much. Love your channel.

[@HG-gr8sl]

Adding this to my shortbread/gingerbread gifting Diane! Perfect! And yes! Best of all EASY!! Yes... those days of carbon and manual typewriters weren't so long ago... technology has moved way too fast.. I remember having to hand draw all our architectural drawings on a massive drawing board and having to hunt down special printing stores to print out A1 paper... Oh boy and if you made a mistake... it was a nightmare.. not to mention the time it took to redraw... Well all computerised now... you don't even have to use maths to work out the scale and dimensions.. programs do it all for you... I had to get lessons as an adult to keep up with the times. I think our generation has seen it all... so many changes in lifestyle and work and family life.. Ok that was my chatter back to you Diane (hehe) Great pistachio trick Diane.. love pistachios straight from the shell and those stubborn shells do drive me batty! :) Love the "Big Ben" doorbell :) And the joy on your face whilst consuming your fudge piece said it all! LLAP! Helen :)

[@DianeinDenmark]

Yes!!! My friend is a teacher at our architect college and she says the young people can't draw houses by hand any more...only using a computer! 😝

[@Tinamar65]

Folded my laundry while watching your fabulous video! And yes, as a secretary I went through all these revolutionary inventions in my bank office back in the days too!! Thanks for this great recipe, will try a vegan version!

[@prairierose1115]

Delish!

[@srinivasam3638]

👍👍Thank you very very much 👍👍

[@heidieho4470]

I love our wee chats whilst you make a treat. And I learned a new term too...”looks like a dogs breakfast.” Peace nice lady

[@debralunnen3378]

“Require Them !!! “ oh How I Require !!!! Xoxoxox ❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄

[@angelabrady1246]

Love your stories! Yes we had our own phone line but knew plenty with "party phone line" so funny! Even thou you are in different area of the world same memories! Loved the sound of a typewriter!

[@JaniceIsLearning]

I just made this fudge today, without any nuts or fruit, just plain. It is delicious!!!!!

[@strll3048]

Hi! My little girl has just made your fudge. It's in the freezer right now. Please pop round for a cup of tea and to try it and let us know whether she did a good job. :-)

[@carolineliddy634]

Just made some, and as an added bonus took some homemade soup from the freezer to make room for fudge. Lunch is sorted😀

[@kathypuzic921]

Love this video. Love fudge and will definitely be trying this one too. Great idea to add cranberries. It was so fun listening to you share about the typewriter. It brought back memories for me too. I went through the electric typewriter stages and boy the horrors of carbon copies. Then we got the typewriter that had a corrective ribbon built in. Oh happy day!! Ya life was suit and simple. Have a great day and enjoy your fudge.

[@gretabrown1983]

Thank you for mentioning the option to convert the recipe. Here in the states both ounces and grams are listed on food packages but it’s much easier to have it the way I’m used to reading a recipe. This sounds delicious 😋

[@debralunnen3378]

Yummmy ! Reminds me of a Cadbury Nut and Fruit Candy Bar !!! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@flochou63]

Funny , my husband used to have some condensed milk with water too when he was a little baby ;) , it is written "gloria milk" in his health book ;)i learnt at school to write letter on a mechanic writer machine !!!

[@cv7357]

Just made the fudge today, it's in the freezer til Christmas:)

[@Kayz6449]

I remember the shared telephone with the house next door was called a party line. When I started work at 15 we used manual typewriters, they were great, with a ribbon of 2 colours top black bottom red, you would use the ribbon forever until you wore a hole in it then you would change it, you’d also have to clean the letters (keys) where they would get clogged up with fibres from the ribbon, you used a typewriter rubber/eraser instead of tippex. Great days.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Thanks for the memory, Kath! Yes, I remember those days well...when the typewriter keys would jam together if you were typing too fast! 🙂

[@Kayz6449]

Diane in Denmark Wonderful machines.

[@becky3161]

I'm going to try this recipe! I tried your cheese shortbreadbiscuits the other day - they were delicious. I noticed that your pistachios are from Lidl, I love Lidl!!!

[@DianeinDenmark]

Yay, I'm glad you enjoyed the cheese biscuits. And yay for Lidl! LOL!

[@sallywhite1012]

Can’t wait to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing. Looks yummy

[@marydrummond5451]

Oh yummy .

[@Carolmaizy]

I seem to have smellyvision and tastyvision here in the U.S., so ok I'm going to try the fudge.

[@JaniceIsLearning]

Yes, I want Tasty Vision.

[@Shopgirlirene]

I love condensed milk to! So yummy! I can't wait to try the fudge recipe. Thank you so much for sharing. Irene

[@crystal7217]

That looks lovely. I’ll have to try it.

[@donnawiseman9311]

Looks lovely!! My mouth is watering!! Thanks for the recipe!

[@mariab2696]

Thank you Diane. I shall make it too. Luv how you can keep it n the freeze👍💝🤗🌷

[@bitcoin_deb3428]

Looks so yummy...I'm definitely going to make this!

[@nawalsada3930]

it looks delicious

[@Karenkmc1]

I love your plate ❤️😍❤️

[@michellesunshinestar]

I like poking holes in banana bread and pouring sweetened condensed milk in it.

[@helenes52]

Michelle Sunshinestar when do you pour the condensed milk into the banana bread when it comes out of the oven?

[@jlouiseeisentraut1508]

Hi Diane, I used to love watching Nigella on the Food Network! Did you ever try her brownies with a layer of cream cheese in the middle! To die for😘 Can't wait to make your fudge!

[@user-on7zd8yi8g]

I just made this and it is delicious! I used semi sweet chocolate. My daughters like it too, Hubby hasn’t tried it yet. Thanks for the recipe! ( we also loved your shortbread recipe!)

[@DianeinDenmark]

Aww, great - thanks for letting me know, Carmen!

[@debralunnen3378]

In America a BIG Big Brand that is so Popular partly because it’s Grass Fed Cows ! Is Kerry Gold ! We’ve used it for YEARS ! Irish ! I Wonder if your Danish Kerry is the same brand just Danish made ?? We’ve not seen well, me here in America ! Makes me so want to try !!!!

[@carolineliddy634]

Debra Lunnen I think Kerrygold is a brand name for the Irish dairy board. Kerry being a county in the south west of Ireland.. the brand is popular in the states.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Hi Debra, our spreadable butter is Danish and is from the brand called "Kærgården" (so nothing to do with Kerry Gold) But sounds kind of similar! LOL

[@Fallon_OConnor3256]

Love the look of this - teachers xmas gift im thinking. Also, i loved how you mentioned payroll flybabies - do you have any other videos specifically for working flybabies? Or have plans for such?

[@DianeinDenmark]

Hi Fallon, there are lots of tips in my 7 Days Routine challenge series - here's the link, hope that helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWbJdZ-grNB5qM0

[@jeannesabido2990]

Funny remember those days well. I had thrown carbon papers in the trash and my boss emptied his ashtray with his cigar in my basket and there was a lit ember and whoosh a fire. The overhead sprinkler system went off and we all looked lime drown rats.😂

[@DianeinDenmark]

Noooooooo, that is so funny, Jeanne! Oh, yes, the days when people smoked INDOORS! Incredible how things have changed...many of them for the better! LOL

[@mandymann7195]

Could anyone advise me re using rice cooker. I use half rice to water but my white basmati rice comes out over cooked. I follow instructions for rice cooker to just switch it on and when cooking light goes out to leave rice in the pot for 10 minutes. Any tips greatly appreciated. Keep up the Xmas cooking videos Diane, love them. Mandy, Northern Ireland )

[@DianeinDenmark]

Hi Mandy! Does your rice cooker have measurement markings on the inside of the cooking pot? With mine, I put in two measures of rice, then fill up the cooking pot with water to level 2. (Not half rice to water.) See if your rice cooker is the same and let me know if that helps!

[@beverleyforde6505]

If you add your soaked fruits with the nuts it will taste like Cadbury fruit and nut 🤗 How long do the fudge last?

[@beverleyforde6505]

Sorry Diane, Iv seen the answer to my questin🤶🏼

[@kitdubhran2968]

Sweetened/condensed milk, chocolate and butter is the exact way I've been making fudge for years. No recipe given. Just a 'my mom made it like this' from like ten generations back from England somewhere.

[@MsRazno]

Bob is your uncle :))))

[@dagmartiltmann8475]

Is it sugared condensed milk? In Germany you get both, sugared or unsugared..?!?

[@DianeinDenmark]

Sugared! That's why I licked the tin...yum! 😄

[@gabit.7148]

Can I use other chocolate than the dark one? Hubby don't like the dark chocolate....

[@DianeinDenmark]

+Gabi T. We've used milk chocolate and it turned out just fine 🤗

[@gabit.7148]

That's great, thanks for your answer. I will try the recipe - it looks sounds really so easy...that someone like me (not a big kitchen-fan, hihihi) could do it!

[@tahiramahmood564]

I was just wondering, how do you normally use condense milk. ( you said you had some left over)

[@DianeinDenmark]

I only use it for making desserts (this can was getting close to the expiry date, that's why I wanted to use it up now) 😀

[@beverleyforde6505]

I will watch but not make 😉, would not be able to share😅😅🖖🏻
