My only slight niggle is mine don't seem to like to harden - should I put less water or butter in experts?

I've never had any problem with this. But yes if you want it harder than you get it then try with a little less water I think. Good luck!

Santa has brought us Calico kits the last couple of years, they have been fab. The red velvet has intrigued me this time. Looks like Santa will be bringing this kit for Xmas as they usually have quite long expiry dates on them. TY SCW for the heads up. X

I've bought it, and done so regularly. It's terrifically easy to make (with a microwave - I haven't tried it any other way). And very easy to customise. It really makes a good hostess gift and is lovely to bring out after dinner.

[sunshine]

Been wanting to try this for ages. Caved in and ordered

 

[MrMarple]

Good price, but there is no way am I paying £5.95 postage

 

[boffy]

thats what qvc do they sting you with p&p and push the item price down to make it look a better buy, its not bad value overall

 

[Chrissi]

Good price, but there is no way am I paying £5.95 postage

Have to be honest that's what has put me off ordering it! There is NO way it will cost them anywhere near that to send it via Hermes.

 

[louise66]

Charlie has just told us that, made up, this is £90 - £100 worth of fudge. I'd love to know how he reached that exorbitant price.

 

[Katie]

May have bought 2 lots... Going to experiment with them for christmas presents :grin:

 

[Craftalot]

Hate to be the dissenting voice but it's actually quite disgusting, and has no place calling itself a 'fudge - it's an American company (surprise surprise) which franchises its products all over the place. It's sickly sweet, with a curiously homogenous, slightly slimy texture. Taste-wise, it has absolutely none of what you want in a good-quality fudge, rich, freshly butter-and-cream with a rich, but not over-the-top sweetness. It's the very epitome of mass-produced, synthetic, factory-made confectionery - the 'calico cottage' is just slick and predictably marketing. I wouldn't serve it to an animal, let alone a guest. It's pretty damn easy to make your own fudge with a few basic ingredients, and the results are far, FAR superior to this tat - and at a fraction of the price too. If you really can't be bothered to make your own, then the best mass-produced one is from The Toffee Shop in Penrith, Cumbria. Quite delicious. And you're supporting a British business, rather than pouring money into yet another giant American Inc.

I was very tempted by this TSV, but in the end I didn't go for it.
