Crock Pot Chocolate Fudge Food

CROCK POT FUDGE

Steps:

• Start with a smaller crock pot. But a larger pot will be fine but may cook a bit faster. Give it a heavy spray of PAM.
• Combine one 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk, two 12 oz bags of chips, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Cook in the crock pot on low for about 2 hours with the lid OFF. Stir halfway through and then check occasionally. I suggest semisweet or dark chocolate for one bag and butterscotch for the second bag. You may use two bags of chocolate if you wish.
• Prep an 8 by 8 or 9 by 9 dish with crossing sheets of parchment paper. Also, butter corners well to prevent sticking. I like to just a touch of butter under the parchment paper to hold it in place.
• When the fudge combines easily, mix in 3/4 to 1 cup of chopped walnuts if you wish.
• Pour into the prepared pan and smooth. You can add other toppings at this time. Refrigerate until firm (at least 2 hours).
• Remove from pan and cut into serving-size pieces.
• Store in an airtight container. It should be good at room temperature for at least a week. Refrigerated for 2-3 weeks or frozen for up to 3 months.

SLOW COOKER CHOCOLATE CANDY

Steps:

• Put the peanuts in the bottom of a 4-quart slow cooker. Layer the chocolate over the peanuts, beginning with the sweet chocolate, followed by the chocolate chips and then the almond bark. Set the temperature on low and cook for 3 hours. Do not stir the mixture. After 3 hours, stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until smooth. Drop the candy into cupcake pan liners using about 2 tablespoons per liner. Allow the candy to cool completely before removing the cupcake liners.

SLOW COOKER CHOCOLATE FONDUE

Steps:

• Special equipment: a 6-quart slow cooker
• Heat a 6-quart slow cooker with insert on high until hot.
• Combine the chocolate, cream, milk, vanilla and salt in the hot insert. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes, then whisk the ingredients together and set on low. Add the bourbon or liqueur if using.
• Serve with fruit, marshmallows or pound cake.

SLOW COOKER FUDGE

Steps:

• Set the slow cooker to low (we used a 6-litre cooker). Tip in the condensed milk, both chocolates, the sugar, vanilla and a pinch of salt. Cook for 1 hr, stirring well with a spatula every 15 mins to combine and scrape off any bits that start to stick to the bowl, until thick and smooth. Oil a 20cm square tin, then line with baking parchment. Pour the fudge mixture into the tin and chill for 4 hrs.
• Cut the fudge into 36 squares using a sharp knife. Will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for three days.
