Ever since we made Kinder style fudge a while ago I’ve wanted to make Kinder Bueno fudge – and that time finally came! It felt like the perfect recipe to make in the run up to Christmas – and I can only apologise that it’s taken me a few weeks to share it. Don’t worry, it’s worth waiting for!

How to make Kinder Bueno fudge

You could use Kinder chocolate for this easy recipe but, we make the exact same flavour by using a combination of white and milk chocolate. The finished chocolate Kinder fudge is absolutely delicious – and the addition on Kinder Bueno pieces finishes it off perfectly.

For this simple slow cooker chocolate fudge recipe we use 6 full size Kinder Bueno chocolate bars, 12 individual bars in total. But, you can use any Kinder Bueno bars you like – and add more of less depending on your tastes. You just add the chopped Kinder Bueno bars towards the end of the recipe.

Unlike our ther fudge recipes, this one shouldn’t be kept in the fridge once set as it will cause the Kinder Bueno to lose it’s crunch. Instead, keep it in an air tight container somewhere cool and dry and it will last well for a few weeks – if you don’t eat it much sooner!

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.

We love making fudge at home. If you’re looking for other chocolate fudge recipes to try, here’s our chocolate orange fudge, slow cooker peanut butter fudge and our slow cooker mint Aero fudge. You can see all our simple fudge recipes to date here.

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
Measuring spoons
A square baking tin
Baking paper sheets
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!

So here’s our perfect Slow Cooker Kinder Bueno Fudge recipe:

Ingredients

A 397 ml tin condensed milk
450 g white chocolate – can be bars or sweet chocolate chips
