Where can I get Chocolate Bar shaped silicone molds from in the UK?

Question

Morning all,

I am in need of some help. I need to find some chocolate bar shaped silicone molds, ideally about 100g in each bar although I could go for smaller bars but not much.

Could you please let me know where I can get some from in the UK as I could do with ordering them by the weekend, only I have got fudge bars I need to make.

Thankyou for your help.

Answer

Amazon have a couple:

Condensed milk versus regular milk in fudge recipes

Question

What is the difference between fudge recipes that call for sweetened, condensed milk versus regular milk?

Answer

Fudge is basically a chocolate flavored candy.

You combine chocolate and a sugar syrup and boil the syrup until you get the desired concentration. Everything else about the recipe is to either minimize sugar crystal size or add flavor.

Sweetened condensed milk will do two things-
1- give you a nice, caramelly flavor
2- Save a little time. Since it has less water to begin with there will be less to boil off.
