How To Make Slow Cooker Musk Fudge

1. Prepare the slow cooker: Preheat your slow cooker on high for about 10 minutes before adding any ingredients.
2. Add the ingredients: Place the condensed milk, broken musk sticks, white chocolate chunks, vanilla extract, and pink food coloring into the slow cooker. Make sure all ingredients are well distributed.
3. Stir regularly: Stir every 5-10 minutes to ensure the ingredients melt evenly and prevent sticking. This step is crucial to achieve a smooth, creamy mixture.
4. Transfer and set: Once the mixture is thick and creamy, pour it into a lined, greased tray. Make sure to spread it evenly before placing it in the refrigerator.
5. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the tray for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm. Remove from the tray and cut into bite-sized pieces to serve and enjoy your delicious musk fudge!

How do I prevent the fudge from sticking to the tray?

Line the tray with parchment paper before pouring in the fudge mixture. Parchment paper prevents sticking and makes it easier to remove the fudge once it has set. Ensure the paper covers all sides for easy lifting.

Recipe Tips

• Use quality ingredients: Choose high-quality white chocolate and musk sticks to ensure the best flavor and texture for your fudge. Using good ingredients makes a noticeable difference in the final product.
• Break the musk sticks: Before adding the musk sticks to the slow cooker, break them into smaller pieces to help them melt more evenly. This step ensures a smooth mixture without any large chunks.
• Stir regularly: Stir the mixture every 5-10 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even melting. Regular stirring is crucial for achieving a creamy and smooth consistency in your fudge.
• Line the tray well: Line your tray with parchment paper before pouring in the fudge mixture. This makes it much easier to remove the fudge from the tray once it has set, ensuring clean and easy cuts.
• Chill thoroughly: Allow the fudge to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until it is completely firm. Proper chilling ensures the fudge sets correctly and is easy to cut into bite-sized pieces.

Recipe Variations

• Add nuts: For a crunchy texture, add chopped nuts such as almonds, pistachios, or macadamia nuts to the fudge mixture. Stir them in during the final 10 minutes of cooking for even distribution.
• Flavor twist: Experiment with different extracts like almond or coconut instead of vanilla. This simple change can give your fudge a unique and exciting flavor profile, making it a bit different each time you make it.
• Color variations: Use different food colorings to create a fun and vibrant fudge. You can make a batch with multiple colors, swirling them together for a marbled effect that looks as good as it tastes.
• Chocolate mix: Combine different types of chocolate, such as dark and milk chocolate, with white chocolate. This blend can create a richer and more complex flavor, offering a delightful twist to the traditional recipe.
• Add toppings: Sprinkle toppings like crushed candy canes, sea salt flakes, or edible glitter on top of the fudge before it sets. These toppings add both visual appeal and an extra layer of flavor to your treat.

What To Serve With Musk Fudge

Serve your Musk Fudge with fresh berries, coconut macaroons, salted caramel popcorn, almond biscotti, and mini lemon tarts.

You can also pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of raspberry sauce.
