Can I make chocolate fudge in a slow cooker?

Yes, you can make delicious chocolate fudge in a slow cooker. Using your slow cooker makes the process super easy. You can even get the kids involved in this slow cooker fudge recipe. Just be sure to put a pile of chocolate chips to the side for snacking so you’ll have the right amount for cooking.

Recipe Ingredients

• Semi sweet chocolate chips: These are a form of dark chocolate that typically doesn’t have more than 50% sugar (hence, they’re called semi sweet chocolate). You can use milk chocolate chips if desired.
• Vanilla: Vanilla extract adds a hint of vanilla flavor.
• Sweet condensed milk: The water content has been evaporated, which makes it a thick and creamy milk. The sweetness will help add a sweet flavor to the fudge mixture.
• Salted butter: Salted butter is all-purpose, so not only will it add a bit of salt to the chocolate fudge, but it will also help with preservation (or making the fudge last longer).

Step-by-Step Directions

Step One – Add chocolate chips to a crock pot that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Place the salted butter on top.

Step Two – Pour over the sweetened condensed milk and slow cook on LOW for 1 hour and 15 minutes, mixing every 15 minutes. (Cover the slow cooker with a dish towel, then the lid.)

Step Three – Pour the fudge into the prepared pan (with parchment paper or wax paper). Spread evenly using an offset spatula or a fork. Set aside for 2 hours, preferably overnight. Then, cut into squares.

Step Four – Top your chocolate fudge with powdered sugar. (Optional). Don’t cut the fudge until you are ready to serve, it will stay good in the fridge for 2 weeks until you are ready to serve and slice.

Variations

• Have fun decorating the crock pot fudge. Add sprinkles, powdered sugar, chopped nuts (like chopped walnuts), and sea salt. You can also chop a piece finely and add it to a sundae or on top of a Cappucino.
• If you love peanut butter, you can easily turn this recipe into peanut butter fudge by adding some peanut butter to the fudge mixture.
• Another ingredient you can add is mini marshmallows. And if you’d like to add a peppermint taste, consider throwing in some chopped candy canes.
