Description

This creamy slow cooker Easter fudge recipe offers an easy and delicious way to create smooth, rich milk chocolate fudge with festive Easter chocolates mixed in and decorated on top. Using the slow cooker ensures even melting and a glossy finish, making it perfect for holiday celebrations or gifting.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 500 g milk chocolate, broken into pieces
  • 397 g sweetened condensed milk (one full tin)

Mix-ins and Decoration

  • 100-400 g assorted Easter chocolates (such as Mini Eggs or Malteser Bunnies), slightly crushed and reserved for folding in and decorating

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the broken milk chocolate and the entire tin of sweetened condensed milk into the slow cooker bowl, ensuring that the chocolate is evenly distributed.
  2. Set Slow Cooker: Cover with the lid and set the slow cooker to the LOW setting to gently melt the chocolate and combine the ingredients without burning.
  3. Cook and Stir: Cook for approximately 2 hours, stirring every 15-20 minutes to prevent the edges from burning and to achieve a glossy, smooth finish in the fudge mixture.
  4. Prepare Easter Chocolates: While the fudge cooks, slightly crush your chosen Easter chocolates, keeping some whole or larger pieces aside for decorating the top later.
  5. Fold in Chocolates: Once the fudge is thick and smooth, fold in the majority of the crushed Easter chocolates to distribute them evenly throughout the fudge.
  6. Pour and Smooth: Pour the fudge mixture into a parchment-lined 9×9 inch or 7×11 inch baking tin, using a spatula to smooth the top for an even surface.
  7. Decorate the Top: Press the remaining whole or crushed Easter chocolates into the top of the fudge for decoration, creating a colorful festive look.
  8. Chill to Set: Place the tin in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours, or until the fudge is completely firm and set.
  9. Slice and Serve: Remove the fudge from the tin using the parchment paper and slice into small squares with a sharp knife to serve.

Notes

  • Stirring frequently during cooking is crucial to avoid burning and to achieve the perfect creamy texture.
  • The amount of Easter chocolates can be adjusted to taste; use more or less depending on your preference.
  • Ensure the fudge is completely firm before slicing to get clean cuts.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh for up to 2 weeks.
  • Use high-quality milk chocolate for the best flavor and smoothness.
