Vanilla fudge in the microwave

1. Line a square or rectangular small baking tray with foil and lightly grease the inside. If you don't have a small baking tray you can just fold up the sides to make a wall.

2. Use a large microwaveable bowl as this has a tendency to rise up and bubble crazily

3. Mix the butter, milk and sugar in a large, microwaveable bowl.

4. Microwave on high for two and a half minutes or until the butter has melted. Stir.

5. Microwave on high for 10 minutes, pausing every 2 minutes to stir.

6. Add the vanilla essence during the last stir.

7. Remove from the microwave and pour the mixture into a greased shallow tin.

8. Cool at room temperature and cut into squares when cooled.
