TO MAKE THE FUDGE
*Place the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
*Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
*Add the condensed milk and cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes or until mixture is hot (be careful not to burn the mixture as it can easily catch on the base of the pan).

*Boil, without stirring, brushing down the side of the pan occasionally with a wet pastry brush, for 12-15 minutes or until golden.
*Remove caramel from the heat.
*Carefully stir the cream into the caramel.
*Return mixture to medium heat, and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes or until smooth.
*Set aside for 30 minutes to cool slightly.
*Stir in the butter until melted and well combined.
*Pour over the fudge.
*Place in fridge for 3 hours or until firm.
*Place the milk chocolate and oil in a small microwave-safe bowl.
*Cook, stirring every 30 seconds, on high for 1 1/2 minutes or until smooth.
