Cut a piece of non-stick baking paper to the same size as your baking tray. We used a –x– cm baking tray. Using a damp cloth, wipe the cookie tray before applying the baking paper. This will stop it from moving around.
Place the chocolate and condensed milk in a microwavable bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until it’s all blended and smooth.
Pour into the prepared baking tin and spread out the mixture.
Refrigerate until set, approximately 2 hours, depending on the thickness of your fudge.
When set, remove the fudge from the tin using the baking parchment and cut into bitesize pieces. Store in an airtight container or package into cellophane bags and give as gifts.

You
may have gotten through your awkward years without braces, but it doesn’t mean
you have perfect teeth already.
Adults
also need braces for many reasons. Overbites, gaps in your teeth, sore jaws
when chewing and headaches are some of the most obvious.
A
nice smile doesn’t hurt either!
It’s never too late to get braces no matter what your age. Even if you practise excellent dental care as a child, you may still need braces as an adult since your teeth continue to move.
In
this article, we will go over some things you need to know if you’re wondering
if you need braces or not.
Braces vs Invisalign
Both
braces and Invisalign do much the same thing but in different ways and with
different pros and cons.
They
both align your teeth for straighter teeth and nice smiles while also promoting
better dental health.
The
biggest differences are price and appearance.
Invisalign costs more than your average braces, though some braces can cost as much. Invisalign braces are clear so it is less obvious you are wearing them. Also, the benefit of using teeth aligners at home is that you don’t need to visit the dentist regularly to adjust them like braces.
These
are probably best for adults looking for a discreet way to straighten their
teeth as long as they are within your budget.

You
may think that fixing crooked teeth is just for cosmetic reasons. The reality
is that crooked teeth can create bigger problems beyond just having an
embarrassing smile.
Teeth
that are too close together prevent proper flossing and cavities can easily
form. Crooked teeth cause wear and tear on your gums and jaw muscles which can
make chewing painful.
If
you have a severe overbite or underbite, then you risk getting malocclusion. This is when your jaw
becomes misaligned and is very painful and can lead to myriad problems.
Do braces hurt for adults?
There
is always going to be some discomfort for a while after getting braces. Even
the Invisalign style will take some getting used to, even though they fit over
your teeth.
You’ll
also feel some discomfort every time you go to the orthodontist to have the
braces adjusted which is usually once a month.
That
in itself shouldn’t be painful at all, but more annoying than anything. If your
braces are causing cuts to the inside of your mouth then that means that a wire
is loose somewhere and does need to be taken care of. Your braces should never
do that ordinarily and is not normal.
There
is an orthodontic wax you can use to cover the braces so they don’t irritate
your mouth.
And eating soft food for the first weeks of having braces will help you avoid more discomfort than you should. Stick to eggs, yogurt, pasta and soups and avoid things like steak and anything you have to use a lot of force to chew.
