  1. Loved this! So easy to make. I gave some to 2 friends and they both said its the best they’ve had and I don’t think they were just being nice! Definitely making again.

  2. I made this last night. It split/separated, my fault I’m sure, but it came back together beautifully when I beat it with electric beater and a splash of milk. Set perfectly, and it delicious!

    Made this last night as gifts for my girls teachers for the end of the year and it is absolutely devine! Will be making this fudge regularly for sure, I left out the golden syrup ad I didn’t want it to overpower the caramel flavour 🙂

    Wow. This fudge is beautiful. And so easy to make, which is even better. Very more-ish!

    Currently have this one setting in fridge, it’s going to be very hard not to eat any as it’s a gift ?

    This is super easy to make. I’ve made it twice now and it’s worked both times. This will be my go to dessert-treat from now on. Highly recommend you give it a try!

  7. Could this also be made with brown (dairy milk chocolate and ordinary condensed milk. Just wondering if anyone has tried it

  8. This mixture split – maybe because my slow cooker is too hot and it was a super hot day? I followed what a previous commenter did – added a splash of milk and then used hand beaters to mix and the result was perfect! I used caramel made in the slow cooker from condensed milk – YUM!

    Made this at Christmas and used the caramel made by cooking the condensed milk in slow cooker.
    It was amazing ?

  10. Hi mine won’t set, is it because I didn’t add full amount of chocolate or something else and can I fix it. Thank you

      You can remelt it, add the chocolate and reset it 🙂

  11. Creamy luscious texture! So easy! Recommend this one for a simple fudge everyone will like.

  12. Hi. Just wondering if you have to pre caramelise the milk? Or can you just throw it in runny as with all the other fudge recipes?
    TIA

      Yes this top’n’fill is already caramel. So if you used regular condensed milk yes you’d have to caramelise it first 🙂

    First time making fudge in the slow cooker. Actually first time making anything sweet in the SC! This was so easy and I’m planning on making more. These set very well and recieved thumbs up from both Miss 20 and 17. (I didn’t use the Golden Syrup).

  14. I have a tin of caramel I made in slow cooker but it has a grainy texture if I use it in this fudge recipe, do you think the fudge will turn out grainy or smooth?

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central May 4, 2020

      It may solve the grainy issue 🙂 If not it will only be a few sugary crystals in the fudge which wont be bad 🙂

  15. Hi,
    I have a 5l slow cooker. Will this work in that or should I put it in a container in the slow cooker?

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central November 27, 2020

      A larger slow cooker will cook hotter – so faster
      You could use another container inside yours though if you wish to keep it more contained so to speak

    Make this every christmas as it is so so good to share. I usually add a tsp cinnamon and a tsp vanilla essence too! Some raw sugar lightly scattered on top looks effective too!

    Oh my goodness. Absolutely divine. So rich and tasty. I omitted the golden syrup. Has set really well. Will definitely be a regular recipe.
