Chocolate orange slow cooker fudge 3 ingredients!
It is time, we are bringing another 3 ingredients slow cooker fudge recipe to the site and this one is up there with the others and is going to be a huge hit this Christmas time.
This recipe combines everything that is perfect for the colder/darker nights that are coming in, creamy fudge and tasty chocolate orange, what is not to like? It is a delicious chocolate fudge recipe, that is going to be popular with everyone.
As I have been making these slow cooker fudge recipes over the last few months, I have worked on the perfect process for getting the texture just right. It takes a little bit more of an arm workout, however, if you make sure you almost beat the mixture in the slow cooker when you are stirring, it starts to become one piece. So when you go to pour it out, the fudge mixture slides out as one whole piece, which makes it an easy removal and at the end of the cooking the slow cooker is easy to clean.
I know that sounds strange but trust me, it gives you the smoothest but most delicious fudge!

It may feel that this recipe is too easy but trust me, it really is so easy to make, you will never go back to shop-bought fudge as homemade fudge beats it hands down.
This recipe is just one of some of ours, if you have not checked them out yet, you can do so here.
Can you microwave fudge?
If you don’t have a slow cooker or crock pot, you can make your fudge in the microwave. You simply use the same ingredients in the recipe below however you heat it in short bursts in the microwave, stirring in intervals.
I am a fan of the slow cooker, just as I can dump it all in and stir on the go.
What equipment do I need to make slow cooker fudge?
There is no specialist equipment needed to make this easy recipe and it uses things that many of us have already.
- Slow cooker
- Spatula
- Square tin
- Wooden spoon
- Parchment paper
- Weighing scales
- Cooling rack
- A sharp knife
Regardless of the flavour of fudge you are making, this is all the equipment you are going to need. Trust me, once you make it the first time, you will be making it again.
How to store fudge
Once you have cut your fudge, it can be popped into an airtight container and will be a great sweet treat throughout the week should you need a little something to get you through the day.
Other fudge flavours to try
In the coming weeks, I am going to be working on the perfect fudge recipes ready for the testing season. The plan is to make some Christmas gifts of some smooth fudge for our loved ones as a little treat this Christmas. If you are thinking of trying out some new fudge recipes, here are some suggestions for ingredients to try out.
- Milk chocolate fudge
- Dark chocolate fudge
- Peanut butter fudge
- Mars bars
- Candy canes
- Popping candy
The next time I make this fudge I think I may try cutting some chocolate orange segments into smaller pieces and pushing them into the fudge to give it a little extra texture.
As long as you stick to the main ingredients, you can play around with the additional ingredients and tweak them to your taste. Why not experiment with the recipes we have shared until you come up with a combination that you love? I think the next one on my list is going to be something minty, like a mint Areo flavour. I would also like to try a clotted cream fudge recipe, but that will be slightly different way of making that as you do not need to have condensed milk in that.
Once I give them a try, I will share the ones that come out edible!
Can you freeze fudge?
Yes! Fudge freezes well and is super easy to do.
If you are freezing more than one piece, I would recommend using greaseproof paper in between the layers of fudge and then wrap it tightly in cling film. Once this is done, you need to wrap it in foil before putting it in the freezer.
To defrost the fudge, you need to leave it to thaw for 2-4 hours on the side. Do not microwave defrost, it will not end well!
It will be fine for 2-3 months in the freezer.
