Good Fudge and Shortbread Recipes Needed Please.

[Deemented]

Am hoping to make both as Christmas presents this year, but having never made either of them before, i need good foolproof recipes please.

I have made this fudge recipe for xmas fayre last year and it was good.

And this shortbread recipe looks nice and easy

My friend makes great shortbread and she gave me her recipe but I just cant make it like she does - I am beginning to think she has deliberately missed something from the recipe!

This thread might be useful.
