Jump to Recipe Print RecipeCan I Use a Different Type of Chocolate Instead of Milk Chocolate?
Yes, you can use dark chocolate for a richer taste or white chocolate for a sweeter, creamier version. However, the texture and sweetness level will vary, so adjust according to your preference.
What if I Don’t Have a Slow Cooker?
If you don’t have a slow cooker, you can melt the chocolate and condensed milk together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir regularly until smooth, then follow the remaining steps as directed.
Slow Cooker Mini Egg Fudge Ingredients
- 400g of milk chocolate: This is the heart of your fudge, providing that creamy, chocolatey base we all love.
- 1 tin (400g) of condensed milk: This sweet, thick milk acts as the glue, holding all the goodness together and adding a richness that’s hard to beat.
- 150g of Mini Eggs, chopped: These add a delightful crunch and a burst of color, making the fudge not just tasty but also a feast for the eyes. Plus, chopping them up is half the fun!
How To Make Slow Cooker Mini Egg Fudge
- Combine the chocolate and condensed milk: Grab your slow cooker and gently place the milk chocolate, breaking it into pieces if needed, along with the entire tin of condensed milk.
- Cook on high for 1 hour: Set your slow cooker to high and let it work its magic for 1 hour. This slow melting process is crucial, as it ensures everything melds together perfectly, creating a smooth and velvety fudge.
- Stir in the Mini Eggs: Once the hour is up, it’s time to add in those colorful, chopped Mini Eggs. Fold them into the mixture, making sure they’re evenly distributed. Oh, and don’t forget to sprinkle a few on top for that extra bit of crunch and color.
- Cool and chill: This is the hard part—waiting. Let the fudge cool down a bit before popping it into the fridge. It needs to chill for at least 6 hours, or overnight if you can bear the wait. This step is essential for the fudge to set properly, turning it from a gooey mixture into sliceable squares of joy.
- Cut into squares: Once it’s fully set, turn the fudge out of the slow cooker and cut it into 10 big, generous squares.

Recipe Tips
- Go for Quality Chocolate: Honestly, ever since I switched to using high-quality chocolate bars in my fudge, the difference in taste and texture was night and day. It melts smoother and tastes divine.
- The Gentle Stir: When I first added Mini Eggs into the mix, I was a bit overzealous and ended up with more crumbs than chunks. A gentle fold is the secret to keeping those chunks intact.
- Lining Is a Lifesaver: The first time I made fudge without lining my slow cooker, I ended up scraping bits off the bottom for ages. Parchment paper? Game changer.
- Consistency Check: There was this one batch that seemed too thick, almost stubborn. A little milk stirred in saved the day, making it just perfect.
- Patience in Chilling: Eager as I was, I once tried to cut the fudge too soon. It was a mushy disaster. Letting it chill properly makes all the difference for that clean slice.
How Do I Know When the Fudge is Ready to Come Out of the Fridge?
The fudge should be firm to the touch and easily peel away from the parchment paper. If it’s still sticky or too soft, let it chill for a bit longer. Usually, 6 hours or overnight is sufficient for it to fully set.
Recipe Variations
- Dark Chocolate Delight: I adore the depth of flavor that dark chocolate brings. It’s like the fudge gets a bit more sophisticated, a tad more grown-up.
- Nutty Adventure: Throwing in some chopped nuts was a revelation. The crunch, the flavor, it just adds this wonderful dimension to each bite.
- White Chocolate Wonderland: For a sweeter, almost whimsical twist, white chocolate is your go-to. It’s like a blank canvas for those vibrant Mini Eggs to really shine.
- Salted Caramel Twist: Who doesn’t love a good surprise? Drizzling in some salted caramel introduces this gooey, salty-sweet element that’s just irresistible.
What To Serve With Mini Egg Fudge
When it comes to serving Mini Egg Fudge, you’ll want to balance its sweetness with sides that either complement or offer a refreshing contrast. Here are 5 great options that do just that:
- Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream: Its smooth texture and mild flavor pair beautifully with the rich fudge.
- Sharp Cheddar Cheese: A surprising pairing, but the sharpness of the cheese complements the sweetness of the fudge wonderfully.
- Salted Nuts: Their saltiness and crunch offer a delightful contrast to the creamy fudge.
- Coffee or Espresso: The bitterness of coffee balances the sweetness of the fudge perfectly.
- Fresh Berries: Their tartness cuts through the sweetness, making for a refreshing side.
How To Store Mini Egg Fudge
In The Fridge:
Wrap the fudge tightly in cling film or aluminum foil to prevent it from absorbing fridge odors. Then, place it in an airtight container. This method keeps the fudge fresh and moist for up to 2 weeks. Ensure it’s fully cooled before refrigeration to maintain texture and taste.
In The Freezer:
Freezing is not recommended for this fudge. The texture and consistency of Mini Egg Fudge can change when frozen and thawed, potentially becoming grainy or too soft. Enjoying it fresh or stored in the fridge is best for optimal texture and flavor.
