Shona says
Love it was so easy! But trying to be good can you freeze it at all?
Lucy says
Hi Shona, yes you can freeze any leftovers!
Hayley says
This is ah-may-zing! I had to make a second batch the next day as so many visitors wanted to take some of my first batch home.
Super easy to make too!
Sonia says
I want to double the recipe, what time would I cook the mixture for please😊
Tash says
The general rule of thumb is to add 20% more time for a doubled quantity. You may need to check the consistency after the cook time and add another couple of minutes if it's too runny, but I don't think it will be. Please grate the chocolate in two batches and not all at once!
Louise says
Looks delicious! I can’t wait for it to set.
I sprinkled a little salt on the top of ⅓ to see what it’s like.
Jess says
I want to make this fudge but only have milk chocolate do you think that will be a problem?
Tash says
Hi Jess, milk chocolate will work but the caramel flavour will not come through as strongly as it would with white chocolate.
Vanessa says
This fudge was a hit for my work colleagues and family. My go to recipe.
Philippa says

Fantastic!
Lucinda Brown says
This was an amazing recipe the first time I have done a fudge recipe in the thermomix- best fudge I've ever tasted outside of Cornwall/Devon so thank you
Tamara says
Has anyone reduced the sugar in this recipe before. I did like the flavour but found it overly sweet. Would love to try again .
danielle says
omg shocking that people are needing to store this. this fudge is absolute amazing goodness. everytime i make it people ask for how to make it. the fudge never lasts longer then 2 days im my house 🙂
Lucy says
Hahahaha love it!!
Kylie says
Hi, question, does the white choc. Need to be cooking or normal choc.?
Thanks
Lucy says
It can be either xx
Fiona says
Hi girls
I made this fudge last night but after refrigerating overnight it is still somewhat soft. Eg - when slicing the piece comes up with the knife and has some bend in it. It’s set, but pliable - is that correct. I’m wondering if I should set it back into the TM for a further cook time. The taste is delicious !!!
Lucy says
Hi Fiona, I wouldn't recommend putting it back in the Thermomix. The texture does depend on chocolate and sweetened condensed milk. Choose a good quality white chocolate and ensure that the condensed milk is full fat (not skim). I also find that Nestle brand of condensed milk is much better than home brand for setting firm. I hope that helps for future batches!
Michelle says
Most amazing fudge ever, my fudge had a smooth result.
Lauren Matheson says
Oh thank you!!
Lauren says
Absolute winner. I add some salt to it and make it a salted caramel fudge. My kids and there friends absolutely love it and request it all the time.
Thank you
Patricia O’Rourke says
Yes, this is the best recipe, I make this caramel fudge at least twice a week on request from my work colleagues. I also sprinkle sea salt in the bottom of my dish, before I pour the fudge in, this is yummy. I will be making 3 more lots this week before Christmas ?.
Ruth says
Hi. I've made this recipe many many times however more recently I'm having issues.
Its as if the butter separates once the choc is added in at the end? A buttery / oily layer appears on top when I put it in the tray. It also sets much harder and when cuts splits like chalk...
Same brand of products used
Using a tm5.
All and any suggestions so appreciated
Lucy says
Hi Ruth, you might have already seen my reply on Instagram but if not here it is! I haven't ever had this happen before so my suggestions are purely suggestions! I would try mixing it on a slightly higher speed at the end and for a little longer (until it's combined). You could also try and try a different brand of products and see if that helps!
