Are you ready to make the most delicious, melt-in-your-mouth fudge you’ve ever tasted? Get your slow cooker ready, because we’re about to embark on a fudge-making adventure that will leave you with a sweet treat that is perfect for any occasion.
First, gather all of your ingredients. You’ll need 3 cups of chocolate chips (you can use milk, dark, or semi-sweet, depending on your preference), a can of sweetened condensed milk, 1/4 cup of butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and any additional mix-ins you desire, such as nuts, caramel, or marshmallows.
Next, line your slow cooker with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang to easily lift the fudge out once it’s set. This will make cleanup a breeze and ensure that your fudge comes out of the slow cooker easily.
Now, it’s time to melt the chocolate. Add the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter to the slow cooker, and set it to low heat. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. This will take about 1-2 hours, so be patient – the end result will be worth it!
Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the vanilla extract and any additional mix-ins you’d like to include. This is where you can get creative and make your fudge truly unique. Whether you prefer a classic fudge with just chocolate and nuts, or something a bit more adventurous with caramel and marshmallows, the choice is yours.
Now, it’s time to let the fudge set. Turn off the slow cooker and carefully lift the fudge out using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a flat surface and let it cool for at least 2 hours, or until it’s completely set. Once it’s set, cut it into bite-sized squares and indulge in the creamy, decadent delight that is your homemade fudge.
Now that you’ve mastered the art of making fudge in a slow cooker, the possibilities are endless. You can experiment with different flavors, mix-ins, and toppings to create the fudge of your dreams. Whether you’re making a batch for a special occasion or just to satisfy your sweet tooth, this slow cooker fudge recipe is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
So go ahead, gather your ingredients, fire up your slow cooker, and get ready to embark on a fudge-making adventure that is fun, easy, and oh-so delicious. Happy fudging!
