I always have a lot of questions about accommodati I always have a lot of questions about accommodation when we stay anywhere as a family so I thought I’d share this little tour of our room at @windjammerlanding which was a pretty perfect place to stay.

It’s the ‘Ocean View Two Bedroom’ which was like a little house, with an upstairs and downstairs, built into the hillside. Both rooms had outdoor space and their own shower rooms. Such a great option for a family.
A little photo dump from our holiday in St Lucia. A little photo dump from our holiday in St Lucia. We’ve been back a few days now but still miss the heat, the food, the pool, the constant sounds of wildlife and the lovely people. It was such a great holiday and I’m sure we’ll be back one day.
And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is watching her grow and what a wonderful young woman she is becoming. We could not be more proud. Love you Pickle, have a great birthday.
We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in S We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in St Lucia staying at @windjammerlanding and it was just the holiday we needed. Two weeks of sunshine and relaxation in what must be one of the most beautiful islands in the world. 

We can’t wait to go back again in the future. Here’s just a little snippet of our trip.
AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @na AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @national_motor_museum despite the rain! The children loved the Little Beaulieu play area and we loved exploring the National Motor Museum and Top Gear exhibit before having a ride on the monorail! We went on an old open topped bus, explored the Beaulieu Manor House and loved the gardens. 
Beaulieu is always a great day out - whatever the weather. This summer they have a whole ‘Summer of Fun’ planned, with activities most days - parades, bird shows and hundreds of sculptures within the grounds too. If you’re looking for a day out this summer definitely think about heading to Beaulieu.
AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to t AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to their first concert - but it was so much more than just a concert! @abbavoyage is incredible. With CGI ABBA and a live band, it’s like being at an ABBA concert 40 years ago but with modern lighting, effects and sound. ABBA look and sound real, it’s a mind blowing experience.
The set includes all the songs you know and love as well as a few less familiar ones.
You can’t take photos during the show which actually made a refreshing change. A whole arena focused purely on the show and soaking up the moment. It’s definitely something the four of us will always remember.
Now, I’m off to sing Dancing Queen all the way home.
AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdo AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdockyard today. They have a fantastic Ultimate Explorer ticket that lets you visit all the attractions as many times as you like for 12 months - and after a day at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard we can see that you need more than one day to really do everything!

We explored HMS Warrior, HMS Victory and the Mary Rose Exhibition - which is incredible! We also saw where ships are built and restored and spent time in Action Stations where the kids climbed and did an assault course.

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is such a fun, educational day out with something for all ages - we can’t wait to go on their harbour tours next time we visit!

They’ve both had a great year at school this year. Troy’s first without his sister by his side and Athena’s first at secondary school. 

They both had great reports, always did their best and have made some really lovely new friends this year. I could not be more proud of them.

Now, let’s go and enjoy the next six weeks before school starts all over again!

Slow Cooker Rocky Road Fudge Recipe

Any regular reader will be now know that I play at creating new slow cooker fudge flavours most weeks and share the ones that turn out well! This week’s creation is my personal favourite. Rocky Road has always been a go-to sweet treat of mine so creating Slow Cooker Rocky Road Fudge is like a dream come true. I’m so pleased it turned out as well as I hoped.

How do you make Slow Cooker Rocky Road Fudge?

Like with all Rocky Road candy creations you can add into it pretty much whatever you like – biscuits, chocolate, dried fruit, chopped nuts, peanuts – the list is endless. But, I wanted to create the feel of a really classic Rocky Road and for me that is chocolate, biscuits, glace cherries and marshmallows.

Slow Cooker Rocky Road Fudge

The one thing to make sure of with this homemade fudge is that you add the marshmallows last. You don’t want them to melt as you want them to still have that lovely marshmallow texture. You also don’t want to add too many extras as then it will taste like normal rocky road and you need to keep a good amount of fudge around the extra pieces you add to the mix.

This super easy fudge Rocky Road recipe is fantastic to have as a sweet treat whenever you need one, to enjoy for dessert or to give as gifts in individual gift bags tied with a ribbon. This is so lovely at Christmas or any other time through the year. Delicious chocolate fudge is the perfect Christmas gift and we’re working on some special slow cooker Christmas fudge recipes too – I’ll share them as soon as I can!

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 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!

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.

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.

You can use any slow cooker or crockpot for this easy Rocky Road chocolate fudge recipe and the cooking time will vary depending on the size and cooking temperature of your crock pot. With just a little tweak to the cooking times you’ll be left with delicious, creamy chocolate fudge however big your slow cooker is!

Slow Cooker Rocky Road Fudge

Slow cooker fudge never takes us any longer than 40 minutes to cook but sometimes we need to take it off the heat after 30 minutes. You’ll know when to turn the cooker off once the mixture is completely melted and thickened.

If you’re looking for other easy fudge recipes to try at home then I’d love to point you in the direction of our easy Slow Cooker Chocolate Orange Fudge, Peanut Butter Fudge, Cherry Bakewell Fudge, Slow Cooker Aero Fudge and Slow Cooker Biscoff Fudge. You can find all our slow cooker fudge recipes so far here – they’re our favourite 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!

So here’s our delicious Slow Cooker Rocky Road Fudge recipe:

Ingredients

  • A 397 ml tin condensed milk
  • 400 g milk chocolate – can be bars or sweet chocolate chips
