Can I Use a Different Type of Candy Instead of Redskins?

Yes, you can substitute Redskins with any chewy, flavored candy similar in texture and taste, such as Starburst or Jolly Ranchers. Choose flavors that complement white chocolate, such as cherry or strawberry, to maintain a delightful fruity profile in your fudge.

Slow Cooker Redskin Fudge Ingredients

• 30 Redskin lollies (for a stronger flavor; equivalent to about 300 grams if you’re using Allens Redskins)
• 1 can of condensed milk (approximately 395 grams)
• 400 grams of white chocolate (can use two blocks, approximately 200 grams each)
• 2 tbsp of unsalted butter

How To Make Slow Cooker Redskin Fudge

1. Prepare the slow cooker: Combine the Redskin lollies, condensed milk, white chocolate, and butter in the slow cooker. Ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed for optimal melting.
2. Cook the mixture: Set the slow cooker to high, with the lid off. Stir the mixture every 10 minutes to ensure even melting and to prevent any ingredients from sticking to the bottom. Continue this for about 1.5 hours, or until the mixture is smoothly combined.
3. Prepare for setting: Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Once the fudge mixture is well combined and smooth, pour it into the prepared pan. Spread evenly.
4. Add a personal touch: Optionally, sprinkle the top with crushed Redskin lollies or any other preferred toppings such as rock candy or chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor.
5. Set the fudge: Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about an hour before placing it in the refrigerator. Let it set overnight in the fridge to achieve the perfect consistency.
6. Enjoy your treat: Once set, cut the fudge into desired sizes. This fudge is perfect for sharing, so consider wrapping portions for friends or family!

How Do I Know When the Fudge is Fully Cooked and Ready to Set?

The fudge is ready to set when it has a thick, smooth consistency that evenly coats the back of your spoon. If the mixture still appears grainy or separates, continue cooking and stirring as it needs more time to integrate fully.

Recipe Tips

• Enhance flavor consistency: To ensure that the flavor of the Redskins is pronounced throughout the fudge, chop them into smaller pieces before adding them to the mix.
• Prevent sticking: To keep your fudge from sticking to the spoon while stirring, lightly coat your spoon with a thin layer of butter or oil; this helps in getting a smooth stir without any hassle.
• Check readiness: If you’re unsure whether the fudge is ready, drop a small amount into cold water; if it forms a soft ball, it’s done. This is a foolproof way to check without relying solely on time.
• Smooth topping: For a perfectly smooth top layer, use a spatula dipped in hot water to even out the fudge before it sets; the heat will help smooth the surface effectively.
• Enhance presentation: Cut the fudge into uniform squares when it’s just set but not too hard; this way, every piece looks neat and is easier to serve or pack.

Recipe Variations

• Add fruit: Incorporate dried fruits like cranberries or raisins into the fudge mixture before setting; this adds a burst of natural sweetness and a chewy texture, making each bite a delightful surprise.
• Go nuts: Mix in chopped nuts such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds for an added crunch and a nutty flavor that complements the creamy fudge texture wonderfully.
• Chocolate twist: Instead of white chocolate, try using dark chocolate for a richer, deeper chocolate flavor that contrasts nicely with the sweet, tangy Redskin lollies.
• Spice it up: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the mixture before cooking; these spices will give the fudge a warm, inviting aroma and a subtle depth of flavor.
• Liqueur flavor: For an adult version, add a splash of raspberry liqueur to the fudge mixture; this enhances the raspberry flavor of the Redskins and gives the fudge a sophisticated twist.

What To Serve With Redskin Fudge

Serve your Redskin Fudge with a scoop of basil ice cream, ginger-infused whipped cream, or a sprinkle of sea salt. You can also pair it with espresso shots, chilled prosecco, or a zesty orange zest garnish.

How To Store Leftover Redskin Fudge

In The Fridge:

To store leftover Redskin Fudge in the fridge, first ensure it is completely cool. Wrap it tightly in cling film or place it in an airtight container. Stored this way, the fudge will last for up to 2 weeks.

In The Freezer:

Unfortunately, freezing Redskin Fudge is not recommended. The texture of the fudge can become grainy and lose its creamy consistency once thawed. If I were in your place, I would stick to refrigerating it to maintain its optimal texture and flavor.
