Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 400 g Milk chocolate
- 397 g Condensed milk (1 tin)
- 200 g Maltesers
Topping
- 150 g White chocolate (melted)
- 160 g Maltesers (some chopped in half and some crushed)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the milk chocolate and condensed milk into a large microwave-safe bowl or slow cooker insert.
- Microwave Method: Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds, then stir well. Repeat heating in 30-second intervals up to two more times until the mixture becomes very thick and smooth. Let it cool for 3-4 minutes.
- Slow Cooker Method: Cook the milk chocolate and condensed milk mixture in the slow cooker on low for 40-50 minutes, stirring regularly. Beat well if mixture looks lumpy or separated until silky smooth and thick.
- Incorporate Maltesers: Mix 200 g of Maltesers into the thick chocolate mixture and stir thoroughly to combine.
- Prepare Dish: Line a baking dish with baking paper and pour in the fudge mixture. Smooth out evenly using a spatula.
- Add Toppings: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the fudge surface. Then gently press the remaining 160 g of Maltesers (chopped and crushed) evenly across the top.
- Chill: Refrigerate the fudge overnight to set properly.
- Serve: Once firm, cut the fudge into small pieces and keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Use good quality milk chocolate for best flavor and texture.
- If the fudge mixture splits or becomes lumpy, continue beating vigorously until smooth.
- You can adjust the amount of Maltesers according to preference for crunchiness.
- Store fudge covered in the fridge for up to one week.
