Jump to Recipe Print RecipeCan I Use White Chocolate Instead of Milk Chocolate?
Yes, you can substitute milk chocolate with white chocolate to create a different version of the fudge. White chocolate will give a sweeter, creamier taste and a paler color to your dessert, contrasting nicely with the Nutella and hazelnuts.

How To Make Slow Cooker Ferrero Rocher Fudge
- Prepare the slow cooker: Combine the milk chocolate, dark chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and Nutella in the slow cooker bowl.
- Cook the fudge: Set the slow cooker to low. Cook for 1 hour with the lid off, stirring every 15 minutes using a silicone spatula, until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Prepare the baking pan: Line a square baking pan with parchment paper. Spread half of the fudge mixture evenly across the bottom of the pan.
- Add Ferrero Rochers and hazelnuts: Distribute half of the Ferrero Rocher halves and sprinkle half of the chopped hazelnuts over the fudge layer.
- Layer more fudge: Carefully pour the remaining fudge mixture over the layer of Ferrero Rochers and hazelnuts, smoothing it out quickly.
- Top with more Ferrero Rochers and hazelnuts: Arrange the remaining Ferrero Rocher halves and sprinkle the rest of the chopped hazelnuts on top, pressing them lightly into the fudge.
- Chill the fudge: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight, until the fudge is completely set.
Recipe Tips
- Choose High-Quality Chocolate: Opt for premium chocolate brands when making your fudge. High-quality chocolate melts smoother and offers a richer flavor, enhancing the overall taste of your dessert.
- Line Your Pan Properly: Always line your baking pan with parchment paper that extends over the edges. This extra step helps you lift the fudge out effortlessly after it sets, ensuring clean cuts and a neat presentation.
- Watch the Heat: Keep an eye on the temperature when cooking the fudge in your slow cooker. If your cooker tends to run hot, set it to low to prevent the chocolate from burning and ensure even cooking.
- Use a Hot Knife for Cutting: Heat a sharp knife under hot water before slicing the fudge. Dry the knife thoroughly each time. This technique helps cut through the fudge cleanly, making perfect squares.
Recipe Variations
- Add Different Nuts: Swap or add different types of nuts such as pecans or almonds for an extra crunch. Toasting them slightly before adding to your fudge will enhance their flavor.
- Include Vanilla or Almond Extract: A teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract can add a depth of flavor to your fudge. Experiment with these extracts to discover your preferred taste.
- Mix in Dried Fruit: Consider adding dried cherries or cranberries to the fudge mixture before it sets. The slight tartness of the fruit balances the sweetness of the fudge.
- Infuse with Coffee: Add a tablespoon of espresso powder to the chocolate mix for a rich coffee flavor. This variation is perfect for coffee enthusiasts looking for a sophisticated twist.
What To Serve With Ferrero Rocher Fudge
Serve your Ferrero Rocher fudge with crisp apple slices, salty pretzel sticks, fresh strawberries and a light dusting of powdered sugar also make delightful pairings.
I love to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
How To Store Leftover Ferrero Rocher Fudge
In The Fridge:
Store leftover Ferrero Rocher fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Separate layers of fudge with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together. I suggest checking the fudge’s texture before serving, as it is best enjoyed soft.
In The Freezer:
Ferrero Rocher fudge can be frozen, but I prefer not to do this as the texture can change. If you choose to freeze it, wrap the fudge tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil and freeze it for up to a month.
