Phenomenal "Chunky" Fudge

"CREAMY," "Naked," "Chocolate," "Sensual"...are the words that come to mind as this amazing creation melts in my mouth. (Food Porn at it's finest?) I swear this is better than any "real" fudge I've ever eaten, and no sugar hangover! I kept it very simple, but it could easily be doctored up with flavor extracts such as mint or hazelnut, almond, lavender, etc.This took about 20 minutes to prepare and ten minutes to set...and then....Gone Gone Gone...

W said this recipe reminded him of Chunky chocolate due to the combo of chocolate and raisins. Trust me, this fudge MELTS in your mouth. .It does also "melt" in your hands due to my not tempering it, so store in the freezer or fridge...(or take time to temper)...and pop in your mouth quickly. I don't mind licking chocolate off of my fingers and don't have a lot of patience for fine chocolatiering.  Tempering chocolate has never been one of my strong suits. To temper this, you'll probably use a powdered sugar, not maple syrup. If you want a quick and easy fudge treat, here ya go...!
