What each ingredient does

Fondant
Provides the sugary, creamy body that forms the fudge.
Bitter chocolate
Adds deep chocolate flavour and firmness to the mass as it sets.

The step that matters

Melting the chocolate. If the chocolate gets too warm it can seize or turn grainy and oily, so it should be melted gently to a soft paste that blends smoothly into the fondant.
