Slow Cooker Fudge

A little confession I have a bit of a sweet tooth, especially when it comes to chocolate and one of my favourite chocolate flavoured treats is fudge – but I’ve also been a bit terrified of making any after reading my great-grandmother’s book of everything where temperature is so important to make it successful I threw my hands up and walked away – I have been known to get distracted and burn the pan I’ve put on to boil water for pasta. But, I have a friend who has been making fudge for a while and says it is EASY – so I gave it ago and here it is Slow Cooker Fudge.

Ingredients for Slow Cooker Fudge

500g of chocolate – we use 250g of plain and 250g of milk

1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

1 tablespoon of unsalted butter

1 can (395g) sweetened condensed milk

How to make Crockpot Fudge

This was such a simple recipe that my youngest whilst off school recovering from a stomach bug was able to help me make it.

Start of by breaking up the chocolate into smaller pieces – with the 500g you can use any mix of chocolate you want – I love a mix of plain and milk as it make the fudge a little less sweet but for Christmas we’re trying out a white chocolate fudge keep your fingers crossed that it works as well as this one does.

Add in a teaspoon of vanilla essence, and cube up the butter this will help it melt quicker – pour in 1 can of sweetened condensed milk – now I haven’t tried it yet but have seen this recipe for making your own sweetened condensed milk which may work out as well – if you try it you will have to let me know.

Put the slow cooker on a low heat and every 10- 15 or so minutes give the mix a stir with an easy to clean spoon this is a sticky mix!

After 2 hours pour into a lined baking tray. I used my 8″ square silicone tray which I lined with greaseproof paper – but the fudge was fairly shallow – you could use a smaller tray to get bigger fudge pieces or double up the recipe.

Put in the fridge for a couple of hours to fully set.

Remove and then chop up into small squares and store or gift for friends, family, and neighbours.
