CHOCOLATE SCOTCH WHISKY FUDGE: Whisky Day!

Today is National Scotch Day. Scotch goes well with many dark chocolates, and I've been to a few Scotch and Chocolate Tastings. Have a look at the Nibble for an Overview of Pairing Chocolate & Scotch.  You can have your own tasting at home.

If you'd rather have your Scotch and Chocolate together in one bite, try this Scotch Whisky Fudge.

No time to make this? Many Scots purveyors offer Whisky Fudge, including Glengoyne, Laphroaig, Old Pulteney,  and The Famous Grouse. 

CHOCOLATE SCOTCH WHISKY FUDGE

Ingredients 
12 ounce dark chocolate, chopped
1 cup Scotch Whisky
2 (1 lb) boxes powdered sugar
1 cup chopped pecans or 1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions
Melt chocolate in microwave or double broiler, stirring frequently. As soon as chocolate is melted, mix Scotch with powdered sugar in large bowl and add to melted chocolate, stir well, add nuts.

Turn into 13x9x2-inch pan and cover with plastic wrap. This sets quickly, so cool it long enough to set but still warm enough to cut.
