How to make fudge?
Fudge is an easy recipe to make! Slow Cooker fudge is the easiest ever!
We use a combination of ingredients such as chocolate, butter, sweetened condensed milk.
We mix these ingredients together as the chocolate melts, stirring to combine as we go.
Next we simply transfer the mixture into a lined slice tin and place in the fridge to set.
The fudge will take 1-3 hours to become fully hard. Once it has set, we can remove it from the fridge, pull the sides of paper up to remove from the pan and use a sharp knife to cut into pieces.
To make our fudge, in the Slow Cooker, all of the ingredients get added to the bowl with the temperature on low, lid off and we simply stir as we go!

Notes
- Note 1 if you prefer to make Dark or Milk Chocolate Fudge, simply switch out the milk chocolate for your favourite. Keep the measurement and rest of the ingredients the same.
- Note 2 This is simply 1 normal sized tin of sweetened condensed milk as is from the store. It will be with the powdered or packaged milks.
- Note 3 This measurement is for 1 packet for speckled eggs. You can get any brand and they will be about the same. To make our fudge economical instead of using more of these chocolate eggs, we add some coloured and chocolate sprinkles. You can use whichever sprinkles you already have at home as to not purchase additional ingredients. The idea is also about different colours and textures. Cadbury mini eggs are hugely popular in Australia, but there is also a wide variety of other brands which are similar. I am using M and M crispy speckled eggs as the packet was slightly bigger than other ones available. Don't worry if your packet is a little more or less. For this as we add it at the end it is about the colour, the fun and the creativity. The amount won't change the taste of the fudge as that is set in our 3 basic fudge ingredients (ie chocolate, sweetened condensed milk and butter).
