Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prep the Slow Cooker: Line your slow cooker with a parchment paper liner or grease it lightly to ensure the fudge is easy to remove once set.
-
Melt the Base: Add the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk to the slow cooker.
-
Slow Cook: Cover and cook on Low for 1–2 hours. Stir every 15–20 minutes to ensure the mixture melts evenly and doesn’t stick to the sides.
-
Flavor and Fold: Once the mixture is smooth and fully melted, stir in the vanilla extract. If desired, fold in a handful of crushed speckled eggs for extra texture.
-
Set the Topping: Pour the warm fudge into a parchment-lined square baking pan. Immediately press the whole speckled eggs into the top in a dense layer, as shown in your photo.
-
Chill: Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours (or overnight) until the fudge is completely firm.
-
Slice and Serve: Lift the parchment paper out of the pan and use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into small squares.
FAQ & Tips
-
Can I use milk chocolate? Yes, you can substitute the white chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate for a richer, deeper flavor profile.
-
Preventing Graininess: Ensure you are using high-quality chocolate chips and avoid getting any water in the slow cooker, as this can cause the chocolate to “seize” and become grainy.
-
Storage: Store the finished fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or freeze it for up to two months.
How to Serve
This fudge is incredibly rich, so it is best served in small portions. It makes a beautiful addition to a dessert board alongside 3-Ingredient Pastel Pretzel Clusters or a plate of Melt-in-Your-Mouth Butter Cookies.
