Slow Cooker Mint Aero Fudge Ingredients

• 1 397-ml tin of condensed milk
• 200 g of Mint Aero chocolate (can be bars or Aero Bubbles)
• 200 g of milk chocolate (can be bars or sweet milk chocolate chips)
• 1 tsp of vanilla extract

To decorate:

• 50 g of Aero Bubbles
• A sprinkle of crushed peppermint candy

How To Make Slow Cooker Mint Aero Fudge

1. Prepare the chocolates, condensed milk, and vanilla: Break the Mint Aero chocolate and milk chocolate into smaller pieces. Add these pieces to your slow cooker along with the condensed milk and vanilla extract.
2. Start the cooking process: Turn your slow cooker to the high setting and leave the lid off. Allow the mixture to cook for approximately 30-40 minutes, stirring every ten minutes to ensure even melting.
3. Stir regularly: Make sure to stir the mixture thoroughly every 10 minutes to prevent any chocolate from sticking to the bottom and to help everything blend smoothly.
4. Line the tray: While the fudge mixture is cooking, prepare a shallow tray by lining it with parchment paper, making it easier to remove the fudge once it is fully set.
5. Finish the fudge: Once the chocolate is melted, thick, and well combined, pour it into the prepared tray. Evenly sprinkle the Aero Bubbles and crushed peppermint candy on top, pressing them lightly into the fudge.
6. Chill and set: Place the tray in the refrigerator to set overnight, ensuring the fudge becomes firm before slicing it into individual pieces for serving.

Can I Use Different Types of Aero Chocolate?

Yes, you can use different types of Aero chocolate, such as plain, mint, or orange Aero. Each type will give your fudge a unique flavor. Just ensure that the total amount of Aero chocolate matches the recipe requirements for consistency.

Recipe Tips

• Use high-quality chocolate: For the best results, use high-quality chocolate bars or chips. Lower-quality chocolate can affect the texture and flavor of your fudge, making it less creamy and rich.
• Stir consistently: Make sure to stir the fudge mixture every ten minutes while it cooks in the slow cooker. This prevents the chocolate from burning or sticking to the bottom, ensuring a smooth and even consistency.
• Line the tray properly: Line your tray with parchment paper, allowing some extra paper to hang over the edges. This makes it easier to lift the fudge out once it has set, ensuring clean and even slices.
• Press toppings gently: When adding the Aero Bubbles and crushed peppermint candy, press them gently into the fudge. This ensures they adhere well without sinking too deeply, providing a nice decorative and flavorful touch on top.

Recipe Variations

• Add a hint of coffee: For a mocha twist, add 1 tsp of instant coffee granules to the condensed milk and chocolate mixture.
• Incorporate nuts: Mix in 1/2 cup of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, to the fudge mixture before setting. The nuts add a crunchy texture and a delicious nutty flavor that pairs well with the chocolate.
• Use white chocolate: Substitute the milk chocolate with white chocolate for a different flavor profile. The white chocolate provides a sweeter and creamier base, which pairs beautifully with the mint Aero.
• Add a swirl of caramel: Before setting the fudge, drizzle 1/4 cup of caramel sauce over the top and use a knife to create a swirl pattern. This adds a rich caramel flavor and a beautiful marbled effect to your fudge.

What To Serve With Mint Aero Fudge

Serve your Mint Aero Fudge with fresh berries, candied orange slices, or spiced nuts for a delightful contrast. You can also pair it with peppermint ice cream, hot chocolate, or a vanilla bean latte.

How To Store Leftover Mint Aero Fudge
