Line a 8" square tin with baking paper. I grease the tin first with a little butter to help the paper stick to it
Put the condensed milk, white chocolate, black treacle, ground ginger, mixed spice, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla extract in a pan and melt together on a low heat, stirring together as it melts
Once it's fully melted and combined, take the pan off the heat pour half of the mixture into the tin. Spread it out into an even layer
Top the fudge layer with half of the gingerbread men and ginger nut biscuits, break them up if you need to get them to fit
Pour the remaining fudge mixture over the top and spread out into an even layer. Decorate with the remaining gingerbread men and ginger nut biscuits, plus the crystallised ginger and sprinkles, if using
Put in the fridge overnight, or for 3-4 hours to set
Remove from the tin and slice into pieces using a sharp knife to serve. Store in the fridge for 2-3 weeks

Notes
Make sure you are using sweetened condensed milk for this recipe. Evaporated milk will not work.
Mixed spice is a British spice blend containing cinnamon, coriander seed, nutmeg, clove, pimento and ginger. If you can't get hold of it, you can use a Pumpkin Spice mix instead, or replace with more of the other spices in this recipe
This recipe will also work with milk or dark chocolate.
Black treacle is also known as molasses.
Although I provide cup measurements, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients out using digital kitchen scales. It is the most accurate way to measure ingredients and will ensure the best results. Digital scales are very low cost and can be purchased for around £12 ($16.50) .
For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.
