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.
- Butter - you can use either salted or unsalted butter for this recipe. Margarine is not suitable.

Can I substitute goldern syrup for maple syrup?
Lauren Matheson says
I would recommend that you don't as it will change the consistency of the fudge.
Amanda says
Best ever
Cheree says
How could you add Bayleys to this?
Lauren Matheson says
I haven't tried to but believe you definitely could!
Lauren W says
This recipe is an absolute favourite with family and friends. I accidentally brought Caramilk chocolate instead white… Oh! My! what a wonderful error. My husband thinks it tastes even better. I also just use a block of chocolate which is about 180g and still works the same.
Lucy says
Fantastic!!!

Christmas Fudge says
I make this every year for Christmas and give it out as gifts for my friends. It is such a good recipe and I love to eat it, my daughter loves it too.
Gem says
I used the back of the plastic spoon from my kid's lunchbox to push the fudge around the pan evenly and then to smooth the top - it worked perfectly so the fudge will make a perfect gift for those worried about the appearance.
Lucy says
Fantastic!
Tia says
Every time I make this for someone I'm asked for the recipe. It is SO delicious. Do you have a non thermomix version of the recipe I can share with the savages?
Lucy says
Sure! https://createbakemake.com/easy-caramel-fudge-recipe/
Casey says
My go to fudge recipe that everyone loves Works perfectly every time. I like to sprinkle the top with sea salt flakes before it sets.
Thank you for this amazing recipe!
Benita says
I have used this recipe for 3 years… it is my favourite. Even my mum’s friend who is the queen of fudge asked me for the recipe - which let me tell you is HUGE. It’s about time I give this recipe the 5 star rating it deserves. Anything less than a 5 star review is a reflection of the user not the recipe. It is AMAZING. Thanks for sharing!
Lucy says
That's SO fantastic to hear!!!
Sandy says
I just made this with Nestle Skim condensed milk & Nestle white chic melts. Followed the recipe exactly except I mixed the white choc pieces in for 1.5 mins (I got distracted). The consistently is perfect. I sprinkled some fancy gold and silver sprinkles over the top but I think it would be better left naked. Delicious!
