Can I Add Other Ingredients To The Fudge?

Yes, you can enhance your fudge by adding various ingredients like chopped nuts, dried fruits, or mini marshmallows. Stir these additions into the mixture just before pouring it into the setting tray to distribute them evenly throughout the fudge.

How Can I Cut My Fudge Without It Crumbling?

To cut your fudge without it crumbling, use a sharp knife that has been warmed in hot water. Dry the knife before each cut to ensure smooth slicing. Allow the fudge to reach room temperature before cutting to reduce crumbling further.

Slow Cooker Caramel Fudge Ingredients

• 3 bars of white chocolate, 220 grams each (like Cadbury Dream)
• 60 grams of butter

How To Make Slow Cooker Caramel Fudge

1. Prepare Your Slow Cooker: First, you need to turn on your slow cooker to the low setting to start the process.
2. Combine Butter and Vanilla: Into the slow cooker, add the butter and vanilla essence, waiting for the butter to start melting.
3. Begin Adding Chocolate: Add one bar of white chocolate, broken into smaller pieces, into the slow cooker and start to stir it with the butter.
4. Add More Chocolate and Caramel: Now, put in the second bar of chocolate, also broken down, and then pour in the entire tin of Top ‘n’ Fill Caramel.
5. Stir Together: Make sure to mix everything well, ensuring the chocolate, butter, and caramel are starting to combine smoothly.
6. Final Chocolate Addition: Put the third bar of chocolate, broken into pieces, into the mix to ensure the fudge will have a rich chocolate flavor.
7. Keep Stirring: Every 10 minutes, you should stir the mixture to help everything melt together evenly and prevent any burning.
8. Wait for the Texture to Change: You’ll notice after about 40 minutes that the mixture becomes thick and creamy, which means it’s ready for the next step.
9. Prepare for Setting: Carefully pour the thick fudge mixture into a baking tin that you’ve lined with baking paper to prevent sticking.
10. Let It Set: Place the tin in the refrigerator and leave it there overnight to allow the fudge to set properly.
11. Serve and Enjoy: Once the fudge has been set, cut it into 15 pieces and it’s ready to be enjoyed.

Recipe Tips

• Grease Your Liner: To make sure your fudge comes out easily, grease the baking paper liner with a little butter before pouring in the fudge mixture.
• Use Quality Chocolate: For the best flavor, choose high-quality white chocolate bars instead of chips, which can have additives that affect melting.
• Stir Gently: When you stir the mixture every 10 minutes, do it gently to avoid incorporating too much air, which can affect the fudge’s texture.
• Check Consistency: Before pouring the fudge into the tin, make sure it’s thick and creamy. If it’s too thin, give it a bit more time.
• Cutting Perfect Pieces: For neat squares, dip your knife in hot water before cutting the fudge. It makes slicing through the set fudge much smoother.

Recipe Variations

• Nutty Caramel Fudge: Stir in a cup of chopped walnuts or pecans just before pouring the mixture into the tin for a crunchy texture contrast.
• Chocolate Swirl Fudge: Melt some dark chocolate and swirl it through the fudge mixture before setting for a beautiful and tasty marbled effect.
• Sea Salt Fudge: Sprinkle a bit of flaky sea salt over the top of the fudge before it sets to add a savory note to the sweet caramel.
• Fruity Fudge: Add a cup of dried cranberries or cherries to the mixture for a fruity twist that complements the creamy sweetness of the fudge.
• Mocha Fudge: Mix in a tablespoon of instant coffee dissolved in a little hot water for a mocha flavor that pairs wonderfully with the caramel and white chocolate.

What To Serve With Caramel Fudge

You can serve your easy Caramel Fudge with light sides like fresh fruit slices, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, coffee, or tea.

Or you can pair it with assorted nuts, or cheese platters for a balance of sweet and savory.

How To Store Caramel Fudge

In The Fridge:

Wrap your caramel fudge tightly in cling film or place it in an airtight container then into the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Ensure it’s kept away from strong-smelling foods to avoid flavor transfer.

In The Freezer:

Wrap it tightly in parchment paper then place it in a ziplock bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible and freeze for up to 3 months.

How To Reheat Caramel Fudge

To gently warm your Caramel Fudge, place it on a microwave-safe plate and heat it for 5-10 seconds. Be careful not to overheat; you just want to soften it slightly. Or, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to naturally soften.
