Directions

  1. Crush the cookies finely and mix them with the melted butter. ≈ 4 min
  2. Spread evenly over the bottom of a lightly oiled 20x20 pan. ≈ 3 min
  3. Refrigerate so the base firms up. ≈ 3 min
  4. Put the condensed milk, sugar, honey and butter in a saucepan. ≈ 3 min
  5. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until you get the characteristic brown caramel color (15–20 minutes).

  7. Refrigerate again. ≈ 3 min
  8. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler (or in the microwave), stirring frequently.
  9. Pour the chocolate over the surface of the fudge and let it sit for a few minutes so it sets slightly.
