Melt the butter in a thick-bottomed saucepan.

Add the syrup, rest of the dairy-free milk and sugar and stir until the sugar is completely melted.

Add the condensed milk that you made, and stir in.

Stir the mixture on a high heat continuously, until it reaches soft boil stage / 115°C on a temperature probe (approx 15-20 minutes.

Using an electric mixer beat the fudge until it starts to thicken.

Add the chocolate and continue until it starts to thicken and the gloss disappears.
