Malt Whiskey Fudge....

[Streetcar]

Never seen one, but I came up with my own:

1 bottle single-malt (Talisker or Oban are preferred)

1 lb. chocolate chips
1 lb. butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk.

Melt the chips and butter in a double boiler. Measure out 2 ounces of single malt, and drink. If it meets your satisfaction, whisk another 2 ounces into the chocolate/butter mixture.

Lightly beat the eggs with the milk. Do not let the whites form peaks. Measure out another 2 ounces of single malt. Add 1/4 ounce to the eggs, and continue beating.
(Reserve the remaining whisky in a suitable container...such as your belly.)

While chips and butter are still over low heat, slowly whisk in the milk.
Measure out another 2 ounces of single-malt. Wait a minute, we all ready added some singlemalt, right? Well don't waste it, and fer gawd's sake, don't try to pour it back in the bottle. Just drink it. Good lad.

Now, mix the milk in with the remaining ingredients, and slowly sift in 1/2 cup flour. Measure out 2 ounces...oh hell. Let's say 3 ounces of singlemalt. Contemplate adding it to the batter, and then come to yer senses. Drink.

Mix the mess all together. Did we put in some singlemalt yet? Measure out a dram. Add to the pot. Or drink, which ever is easier.

Put in a 350 degree oven for approximately 30 minutes. This will give you time to have another dram.

When the smoke alarm sounds, remove from oven. Insert a toothpick into the center to confirm that not only have you ruined a cake pan, but you've wasted almost 4 ounces of fine singlemalt.

Put the smouldering pan in the sink and cover with cold water.

Take the rest of the singlemalt to your mate's house*, pour out two glasses and repeat until the bottle is empty. Comiseratie on how good the fudge would have been.


* In lieu of a "mate" to share the single malt with, feel free to ship all bottles to Streetcar in care of X Marks the Scot.......
