    What You Need

    Just 5 Ingredients! How easy is that!?

    Note: Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full method.

    The ingredients for caramel fudge.
    • Butter - you can use either salted or unsalted butter for this recipe. Margarine is not suitable.
    • Sweetened Condensed Milk - it's important to use full fat sweetened condensed milk (not skim or light) as this helps to set the fudge firm. I find that Nestle brand also sets firmer than home brand versions.
    • Golden Syrup - a sweet and sticky liquid that helps to give the fudge it's delicious caramel flvaour.
    • Brown Sugar - choose either regular brown sugar or dark brown sugar for this recipe. I generally use regular brown sugar.
    • White Chocolate - choose white baking chocolate or chocolate melts for the best results.

    Step By Step Instructions

    This simple Thermomix caramel fudge couldn't be easier to make!

    Step 1 - Grate The Chocolate

    NOTE: The fudge will be very thick at this stage.

    Step 5 - Chill

    Chill the fudge in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight.

    Remove from the fridge and cut into slices.

    FAQ & Expert Tips

    Keep the MC (measuring cup) OFF

    When heating and cooking the fudge, it's important to keep the MC off. This stops the majority of the condensation from dripping back onto the fudge.

    Use full fat sweetened condensed milk

    It's important to use full fat sweetened condensed milk (not light or skim) as it sets firmer.

    Storing

    Store the caramel fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.
    Place sheets of baking paper between each layer.

    Freezing

    It's possible to freeze fudge in an airtight container for up to 2 months, however the texture and flavour may change. For best results, keep the fudge in the fridge and consume within 2-3 weeks.

        Hi Leesa, I'm sorry to hear it didn't set well. I would suggest the brand of chocolate or sweetened condensed milk has impacted the result. I recommend using Nestle full fat sweetened condensed milk and also cadbury chocolate.

      Why did I make this?! I’d addicted and I don’t even like fudge. I made it for my 5yo after he had his first fudge at Christmas, and now I want to devour it too. Just amazing. It will make great homemade treats for gifting too.

      Hi! Is the golden syrup an absolute must? Will it work without it?

          Hi,
          This is great. We love it.
          To adjust for vanilla fudge, can I just replace the golden syrup with vanilla? What works to make vanilla that's as good as the caramel?
          Thanks

          March 16, 2022 at 8:11 am

          Hi Tammy, no you wouldnt be able to substitute the golden syrup straight for vanilla as they are such different textures. We actually dont have a vanilla fudge recipe! We'll have to work on one for you!

      Made this today in my TM5- turned out crumb-like . House smells amazing though. Any suggestions/tips. TIA

        Hi Karen, we are sorry to hear it didn't work out for you. I'm going to suggest that maybe an ingredient was missing? With the butter, sweetened condensed milk and golden syrup, the mixture shouldn't be crumb like.

      Has this recipe changed? I have made it many times and the measuring cup was always on for the 20min varoma cook.
      It was way too thick this time with the cup left off

        I agree with you, I made it last weekend following this ‘new’ method and was definitely a lot thicker. Made it again today with measuring cup ON for the 20 minute part and turned out perfect like it always has. Love this recipe make it all the time.

          Hi Rebecca and Karen, no there has not been any change to the recipe (just new photos!). We have always suggested that it's best to have the MC off during the cooking, but if you prefer it with it on, then please feel free to do so! Hope that clarifies things - but the recipe has definitely not changed at all from the original.
