The joy of this is that it’s super easy and fuss free- I’ve never been one to make this sort of sweet treat as I have never invested in a sugar thermometer. I did try out Nigella’s hokey-pokey for a dinner party last year (anyone remember that episode where she eats it all in the car on the way to the dinner party? Love that one!!)- anyway, I tried 3 batches and it was a total disaster every time, a sticky mess! Slow-cooker fudge can’t really go wrong I don’t think, as long as you remember to stir it, so it’s my kind of recipe!

You can mix it up any way you like really- white chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate and I’m sure there are lots of other things you could try like peanut butter. You can also top with anything that looks pretty… mini eggs, reese’s pieces, smarties…. it’s a lovely easy thing to make pretty!

For this Mother’s day version I used little chocolate hearts that I got from Tiger.
