[RECIPE] How to Make Caramel Chocolate Fudge with Baileys

Hello!

So tomorrow is valentine's day huh? I never celebrate it because i've been single my whole life heheh~ 

BUT that doesn't mean i shouldn't make a chocolate for my friends~

I was so bored because i have to rest, i've got fever all week and sore throat but no cough thankfully and even though i supposed to rest i still go practice for dance yesterday and my condition is worse today...stupid me...

ANYWAY i'm getting off topic here,
So a couple of days ago i'm so bored so i tried to make some chocolate that i wanted to share with my family n friends, i decided to make a caramel chocolate fudge with bailey's, and everybody went crazy for it...i was so surprised they liked them because i wasn't sure about my recipe, and now people kept asking for the recipe! I thought i'll just share it here, i hope you guys likes it!

So what you'll going to need are: 

200g of condensed milk
50d unsalted butter
225gr palm sugar
1tbs corn syrup
75gr dark chocolate for cooking, i got a cube ones, but if you don't have it you'll have to chop it so it will melt quicker

And last but not least 
BAILEYS! I didn't measure it because i only put it little by little untill it suit my taste

Now the steps are:

1. In a medium low temperature, Melt the butter in a heavy based pan
2. Add the milk and stir them
3. Add the palm sugar little by little and stir them untill sugar dissolve
4. Add the corn syrup and keep stirring them in medium high temperature for around 25-30 minutes, untill they got thickened and turned into a caramel DO NOT STOP STIRRING OR THE CARAMEL WILL STICK TO YOUR PAN FOREVER
5. After the caramel is thick enough, add the chocolate quickly and stir untill the chocolate dissolve
6. Add the baileys
7. You can grease a pan with butter and put the fudge in the freezer for 1 hour, don't forget to spread them nicely :)
8. After letting the fudge cool down, cut them in cubes(you can use a mold if you want but i prefer the cubes)

And you're done!

A chocolate fudge is rare in my country so a lot of people go crazy on them because they never tried anything like it, i'm so happy that all my friends and family liked it ^^

And i hope anybody who read and try this recipe likes it too! Please comment below if you ever tried this recipe ;)

And if you have instagram let's befriends! Add me at @jacq_tanoto i'll add you back ^^

[review] Queen Eyelashes and Eye Goodies

Hi guys! I'm baaackk~

I've been swamped with practices and choreographing for my dance competitions and also preparing for my national dance exam and international dance exam... I actually has some products that i want to review but i never got the time to do so, currently i'm writing on a bus to go to the studio for another practice, and since i got a seat so i'll write~ XD

Tomorrow i'll be competing for the danceprix competition, and my team's theme is Alladin! I design the costumes,picked the fabric and made the acessories myself :) so proud of how it turns out, i'll show the costume after the competition in the post update tomorrow(maybe)

Okay! Speaking of Alladin that means Arabic make up!

Because i used up all of my eyelashes and eyeliner and glue and...basically every eye stuff i have to buy them again, and of course i bought them all at my fav onlinse store in the instagram @vie_andiksu ! I bought 5 pairs of eyelashes, a glue, 2 eyeliners and i got an eyebrow fixer as a bonus :3

Took this pic when the arrived teehee

I used the Queen eyelashes, which is super thick and long, usually i would never buy such thick and long eyelashes, but when i applied it, it's not so bad, i thought i'll look like a creep hahaha, it really help making my eyes bigger <3

i also used the eyeliners that i bought, for the upper eyeline i used the solone color party, the color is not so pigmented, but it has a little sparkle, i guess it'll work well for natural look but for a show it'll not work so well

The eyeliner is an automatic one, you don't have to sharpen it, and it also comes with a smudger, incase you want to create that smoky look

And for the lower lines i used the rose garden eye pencil

The color is the same, both are not so pigmented for a show quality, but for daily use, they'll do fine, plus both are waterproof, none of the smudge when i applied them XD

Here's how they look on a full face picture, the eyelashes stand out the most :D ooh! By the way i made the head piece myself XD

I actually bought another type of eyelashes from the shop, i will create a look with the eyelashes next time ;)

UPDATE!

Here's the final look(too bad i was too swamped with the competition i forgot to take a close up) i designed the look from head to toe, and i also picked the fabric myself with the help of the mother of the company's director and my kind cousin thank you guys :)

BTW my dance company got 6 thropies! So proud XD
