Amazing recipe I didn't mind the time it took, after making this a second time I put in a little more condensed milk and a little less sugar which made it creamier and a little less sweet

I had no thermometer. So heated until \soft ball stage\" assuming this was when it came away from the sides. Took off the heat and added the vanilla. 5 minutes later took the beater to it like recipe said... And it was just crumb. Ended up in the rubbish. I now realise after watching the Chelsea video on YouTube that by heating it until \"soft ball stage\" actually cooked the crap out of it. Please explain what the soft ball stage is In the method."
Grease a 20cm cake tin. Cut two sheets of baking paper the width of the tin, criss-cross the paper to line the tin making sure the sheets are long enough to extend over the sides (you can use the paper to lift the fudge out of the tin once it has set).
Place all the ingredients except the vanilla into a medium, heavy based saucepan. Warm over a gentle heat until the Chelsea White Sugar has dissolved, about 10-15 minutes.
Bring to a gentle boil and cook for about 10-15 minutes, until it reaches the soft ball stage (120°C). Remove from the heat and add the vanilla.
Cool for 5 minutes then beat using an electric mixer until the fudge is creamy and thick and has lost its gloss (approximately 10 minutes).
Pour into prepared tin and leave to cool, then refrigerate until set.
Once set, use the paper to lift the fudge out of the tin and place onto a chopping board, then cut into small squares.
I doubled the recipe to use the whole tin of sweetened condensed milk. Melted for 15 min, boiled for 15 min, cooled for 5 min then beat it with electric beaters for 8 mins. Good colour and flavour and it set fine with no grittiness. Don't rush it, use low heat and stir constantly during the whole process to prevent burning.
