A while ago I made a super easy two ingredient slow cooker caramel fudge made just with chocolate and Carnation caramel. I also made a delicious slow cooker salted caramel fudge by tweaking the recipe slightly. But, even though those recipes are amazing, they’re not Cadbury Caramel. And sometimes you just need that amazing Cadbury Caramel flavour. So I created a Slow Cooker Cadbury Caramel Fudge recipe too.

Slow Cooker Cadbury Caramel Fudge Recipe

How do you make Cadburys Caramel fudge?

For this Cadbury Caramel fudge recipe you just need Cadbury Caramel bars, any size will do, along with milk chocolate and sweetened condensed milk. We also add Cadbury Caramel Nibbles to the top which are like big caramel chocolate buttons and so tasty!

You also need to add some extra chocolate and this doesn’t have to be Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate, it can be any chocolate. Even the cheapest bars of milk chocolate will work well and create delicious fudge.

How long does slow cooker fudge keep for?

This slow cooker fudge keeps well in the fridge, in an airtight container for a couple of weeks. The flavour matures over the first couple of days of it being in the fridge so you get the full flavour after it’s been in the fridge for a few days.

Can you make this fudge in the microwave?

Many people make fudge in the microwave but I much prefer the control I have when I make it in the crock pot or slow cooker. If you don’t have a slow cooker, make it in the microwave by putting the ingredients in a microwave safe bowl and heating on short bursts in the microwave, stirring in between. Then follow the instructions as per the recipe below.

Can you make slow cooker fudge with evaporated milk?

Our slow cooker fudge works because condensed milk has a really high sugar content, needed to create that beautifully rich fudge. Evaporated milk isn’t the same, doesn’t have that sugar content and isn’t thick enough to help the fudge thicken and set. You can’t use evaporated milk in these recipes – so get some condensed milk instead.

Do you cook slow cooker fudge high or low temperature?

We always cook fudge on a high slow cooker temperature setting and it takes around 40 minutes in total. You could make it on the low setting but it would take longer and would still need to be stirred regularly. You may as well keep the slow cooker on high and be done in under an hour!

When cooking, is the slow cooker fudge lid on or off?

When making slow cooker fudge, you need to remove the slow cooker lid otherwise excess moisture would be retained in the slow cooker pot and the fudge wouldn’t thicken as it needs to.

If you’re looking for more recipes to try, here’s our peanut butter fudge, caramilk fudge and mint chocolate fudge. You can see all our recipes to date here including many more slow cooker recipes.

What equipment do you need to make slow cooker fudge?

Slow cooker fudge doesn’t need anything special to make it, and you probably already have everything you need at home, but this is the equipment we use:

A slow cooker
A wooden spoon
A spatula
A square baking tin
Baking paper sheets
Food scales
Good quality knives to cut the fudge into pieces
Airtight containers for storage
Food gift bags to package it up and give the fudge as gifts

Once you’ve got everything you need to make the fudge you can just keep making it again and again – in so many different flavours too!
