    Slow cooker candy cane fudge is perfect for the festive season. If you are generous enough to part with it, why not give it as handmade Christmas gifts.

    Slow Cooker Candy Cane Chocolate Fudge

    Chocolate fudge is great for homemade gifts at Christmas time. Easy to make and tasty!

    Simply cut your fudge into pieces and put it in a pretty cardboard box or cellophane bag and you have a great gift for friends, neighbours and teachers, or a treat for the Christmas break.

    The peppermint candy canes are chopped and placed on top of the fudge before it sets.

    If you really want a peppermint hit from your fudge you could add a small amount of peppermint extract to the fudge when melting it together too.

    Slow Cooker Candy Cane Chocolate Fudge

    I’ve used dark chocolate for a really rich chocolate flavour in my candy cane fudge.

    Other festive fudge flavours which are delicious are white chocolate with pistachios and raspberry, and milk chocolate black forest fudge.

    • Pour the mixture into a baking tray or loaf tin lined with baking paper. Smooth the top of the fudge with the back of a hot metal spoon. Scatter the chopped candy canes on top.

    • Put the tray or tin in the fridge to chill for a couple of hours, for the fudge to set.
    • Remove from the fridge, and use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into pieces.
