We love how easy this 2 ingredient recipe for Crock-Pot Chocolate Fudge comes together. This recipe is so simple that even a child could make it. In fact the kids and I like to make several batches of this easy fudge for Christmas gift giving each year!

Crock-Pot Chocolate Fudge

Slow Cooker Chocolate Fudge

Each year my family and I make about 100 batches of Christmas fudge. But this year I have been sick as a dog and really just did not have the energy to do one big day of cooking and slaving over a hot stove making batch after batch of traditional fudge. So instead of giving our friends, neighbors, teachers, etc fudge this year I opted for a few different homemade treats like candy bark, Chex Mix, etc.

But I personally LOVE fudge and wanted to make at least one batch for us (OK OK me). So I turned to my crock-pot. I wanted this to be easy because  it is the season for bronchitis and my energy is just sapped.

This recipe could NOT get any easier folks. There are just two ingredients. Chocolate chips and a can of ready made store bought frosting.

I used semi-sweet chocolate chips and a dark fudge chocolate frosting and the results are a VERY chocolaty fudge. I love chocolate so it suits my tastes just fine. However my 16 year old daughter though it was too much. You could make this with milk chocolate chips too if that is your thing.

I had a bag of peppermint candies already on hand so I crushed them up in a zipper baggie and whacked them with my rolling pin. This was to sprinkle on top and add a little holiday flare. But you can totally omit that and just make plain fudge. Or you can top them with sprinkles or other candies.

Two ingredients, about 1 hour cooking time and you have fudge. How could it get any easier than that?

    Hi Heidi! I’m gonna try this recipe tomorrow for sure! I just wanted to ask if you’ve tried the crockpot liners. I think they’re wonderful, as I love to use my crockpot, but I hate clean-up. Hope you’re better & Merry Christmas.

      Hey Dana, thanks for dropping by and commenting. I hope you enjoy this recipe. I use crock-pot liners all the time and you can totally use them in this recipe. I just happened to be out of liners when I made this recipe. However, it did not stick at all. So if you don’t have a liner just an FYI this is one where the fudge just sort of slides right on out of the crock.

        Why not just use a crockpot liner and then lift it out and sit it in the dish to chill the fudge? It should lift out just as easily after the refrigeration period and then popped out for cutting.

    Have you tried using different frosting flavors?

      I have not yet personally tried other frosting flavors – this recipe really was on the fly using ingredients I already had in the pantry. But I am 99.9% sure you can use whatever frosting/chip combination you want. I will be doing some more experimenting after the holidays and after my bronchitis clears up for sure!

    This looks like the easiest dessert recipe ever. Unfortunately my family are not huge chocolate lovers. What is your opinion re: whether this could be done with like peanut butter chips (but then what flavor frosting, I wonder…) or any other flavors/ingredients?

      Hey Kate I totally get that Chocolate is not everyone’s thing. I am going to be trying some other flavor combinations in the next few weeks. But I am pretty sure you can use whatever flavored frosting and chips that you like. One of my friends said she makes it with white chocolate chips and strawberry frosting. So yeah that should work!

    Hi Heidi,
    Does this fudge need to remain refrigerated after it is made?
    Thanks!

      Hi Kim, thanks for dropping by. It does not need to stay refrigerated. I just put it in the fridge to chill it quicker so I could get it cut and packaged up. It should be OK for about 1 week at room temp. But for longer storage toss it in the fridge.

    Just wondering all the bags of chips I buy come either 6 or 12 oz. Would using the entire 12 oz bag screw up the recipe?

    Reply
    • Lady Heidi says

      December 22, 2013 at 1:22 PM

      The bag of chocolate chips I used is noted in the recipe – 10 oz bag. You can see the oz size on the bag in one of the pictures.

      Reply
    • Kate says

      December 22, 2013 at 2:23 PM

      The reason the bag of chips in the picture has only 10 ounces is because they are dark chocolate chips. (Milk chocolate chips also come in 10 oz bags.) Semi-sweet chips come in 6 oz and 12 oz bags. You’ll need about 1 2/3 C semi-sweet chips to equal 10 oz.

    Does this fudge come out “hard” or “gooey”? Most fudge is a bit to gooey for my taste, I like it hard, sugary, almost crumbly.

      Hi Bonni,

      I would say that this fudge is neither hard nor gooey. I have had super gooey fudge and some super crumbly fudge as well and I would not say this is either. It is hard yet a little soft in texture.
