½ cup (100 g) castor sugar

To make the fudge layer

Slowly bring all the fudge ingredients to the boil, in a small saucepan while stirring continuously. Turn the heat down as it burns easily. Boil for about 5 minutes until thick and a light caramel coloured. The mixture will leave a line on the bottom of the pan when you pull a wooden spoon through it. Spread it over the baked and cooled brownie slab and leave to cool and set.
Melt the chocolate over warm water. Cut brownie slab into heart shapes. Pipe with melted chocolate.
