Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Base

  • 500 grams white chocolate
  • 397 grams sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup brown sugar (loosely packed)
  • 50 grams unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp mixed spice (a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger)

Decoration

  • Gingerbread Men Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tray: Line a slice tray measuring approximately 28 x 17.5 x 5 cm with baking paper, ensuring there is overhang on the sides to help remove the fudge later.
  2. Set Slow Cooker Temperature: Turn your slow cooker on to a low temperature, allowing it to gently melt the ingredients without burning.
  3. Add Ingredients to Cooker: Place white chocolate melts, brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter into the slow cooker. Sprinkle the mixed spice evenly over the top of the mixture.
  4. Cook and Stir: Stir the mixture every 15 minutes over the course of 1 hour to ensure even melting and mixing. This slow and steady process helps create a smooth fudge texture.
  5. Adjust Heat: After one hour, turn the heat setting to warm—if your slow cooker lacks a warm setting, turn it off and allow residual heat to keep the fudge warm.
  6. Pour and Flatten: Pour the fudge carefully into the lined slice tray. Hold both ends of the tray and gently tap it to flatten the fudge and remove air bubbles.
  7. Add Sprinkles: Decorate the top of the fudge with gingerbread men sprinkles to give it a festive, seasonal look.
  8. Chill to Set: Place the tray in the fridge and chill for at least 2 hours until the fudge is fully set and firm.
  9. Cut and Serve: Remove the fudge from the fridge. Use the overhanging baking paper to lift it out of the tray. With a sharp knife, cut the fudge into small bite-sized pieces. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
