Start by grazing a 20 centimeter square cake pan and line the basin sides with baking paper. To make the fudge, place the chalk buttons, condensed milk and butter in a medium saucepan. Cook over low heat stirring constantly for five minutes or until the chopped buttons melt and the mixture is smooth. The mixture will thicken as you stir.
Add the rum or orange juice and stir to combine. Then pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan, then press the rum balls and gingerbread into the fudge. Decorate with four candy canes then pop the fudge in the fridge for at least six hours to set.
You can leave it overnight if you prefer. Finely chop the remaining candy cane and sprinkle over the fudge. Cut into squares to serve. This festive rum ball fudge is a winner.
