Easy 3 Ingredient Slow Cooker Kinder Fudge Recipe

Sharing is caring!

This easy slow cooker Kinder fudge is made with just 3 ingredients – white chocolate, Kinder chocolate and condensed milk. It takes around 30 minutes to cook in the slow cooker before being left to set overnight, making it a really simple homemade fudge recipe.

We definitely have a sweet tooth in our house, and this is one of my favourite slow cooker fudge recipes. I’ve experimented with quite a few different flavours over the years – some more successfully than others! – but this Kinder version has always worked really well.

I use ordinary supermarket white chocolate alongside Kinder Chocolate bars, so there’s no need to buy expensive ingredients. The finished fudge is creamy, chocolatey and easy to cut into little bite-sized pieces once it’s set.

It’s particularly good around Christmas when I’m making homemade treats and gifts. A few different flavours of fudge packaged together make a lovely homemade gift – although ours has a habit of disappearing before it gets anywhere near a gift box!

What you need to make slow cooker Kinder fudge

You only need three ingredients to make this Kinder fudge:

• 400g white chocolate – I just use an inexpensive supermarket white chocolate and it works perfectly.
• 200g Kinder Chocolate bars – these give the fudge its distinctive creamy Kinder flavour.
• 397g condensed milk – you’ll need one standard tin of sweetened condensed milk.

You can also keep a little extra Kinder Chocolate to one side to decorate the top before the fudge sets.

One thing I wouldn’t recommend swapping is the condensed milk. Make sure you pick up condensed milk rather than evaporated milk, as they’re very different products and evaporated milk won’t give you the same result.

How do I know when slow cooker fudge is ready?

After around 30 minutes, the mixture should be completely melted, smooth and starting to come together. I find that when it’s ready, the fudge mixture almost moves as one and slides easily from the slow cooker when you stir it.

Keep an eye on the texture as it cooks. If it starts becoming grainy rather than smooth and glossy, it’s getting too hot, so turn your slow cooker down to low.

I’ve found that regular stirring and keeping the lid off while it cooks gives me the best consistency.

Can I use a crock pot to cook slow cooker fudge?

They are the same thing, so both will work perfectly.

What equipment do I need to make slow cooker fudge?

You don’t need any specialist equipment for this recipe. You’ll need:

• Slow cooker
• Wooden spoon or spatula
• Square baking tin
• Baking parchment
• Weighing scales
• Sharp knife for cutting the fudge once set

A cooling rack is useful but not essential.

The size of your tin will affect how thick your pieces of fudge are, so don’t worry if yours looks slightly thicker or thinner than mine.

How long does slow cooker fudge keep?

Once the fudge has completely set, cut it into pieces and store it in an airtight container in the fridge.

I like it straight from the fridge, although you can take a few pieces out shortly before serving if you prefer a slightly softer texture.

How long will it last? That’s one thing we’ve never managed to properly test in our house – it always gets eaten far too quickly!

This slow cooker recipe shows that you can make easy fudge at home and the end result is just as good, if not better, than that you can get in the store. The options out there for fudge flavours are endless, you can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate and a whole host of flavours such as peanut butter, fruit and coconut! I have found that the slow cooker chocolate fudge recipe works the best, but you can just adapt the recipes to suit your need.

More slow cooker fudge flavours to try

Once you’ve made fudge in the slow cooker, it’s very easy to get hooked on trying different flavours.

Kinder is one of our favourites, but I’ve also made Biscoff slow cooker fudge, which is another really easy version and always goes down well in our house.

I’m planning to keep experimenting with more flavours, particularly around Christmas when homemade fudge makes a lovely little gift.

If you try this Kinder fudge, let me know how you get on – and I’d love to know which flavour you think I should make next!
