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.
- 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.

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.

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.

Someone else made this and brought to work and I loved it and had to give it a go. I am not usually a big fridge person but I'm definitely this fudge person! It's pretty rich so I cut it up pretty small. My husband and daughter love it too.

Hi, I'm hoping to make this as Wedding favours. Is this recipe for a TM5? I believe Varoma temp is slightly different between the TM31 & the TM5?
Reply
Lauren Matheson says
Hello, This recipe is for both a TM5 and TM31 🙂 I'm pretty sure it's called steaming temp on a TM31 .

Sparklett21 says
Thank you Lauren. I'll see how I go?
waterlily says
Absolutely fantastic...5* My husband isn't a fudge fan - he says it's too sickly etc...but he LOVED this and ate more than I did!!! If anyone has been to the Fudge Kitchen in UK...it's on par with their fudge, creamy and smooth and has a fantastic flavour.
BTW, I keep it in the freezer and think its actually nicer when just out of freezer, leave for 1o mins before trying to cut!Reply
Lucy Mathieson says
Yay!! That's wonderful that you guys liked it so much!! Great tip about the freezer too!!

Has anyone tried to double this recipe? And if so, does it need to be tweaked?

Eve says
Why did my condensed milk separate
Reply
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Eve, Hmm, I'm not too sure why that may have happened. Was the condensed milk still in date?
Adrienne says

Oh no! I left the white choc in the bowl and added all the other ingredients instead of adding at the end.
Any chance it will still be ok?Reply
Lauren says
It will still be ok! I've done that before too xx

Wendy says
Thank you. I just left chocolate in and was horrified when I kept reading. ?
Melissa says
I made this the other day it was delicious how do I go about doubling the recipe, what adjustment should I make for time etc? Thanks
Reply
Lauren says
Hi Melissa, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I think it's probably best to make two batches of this recipe instead of doubling it I'm afraid. Sorry I can't be of more help x

Leanne says
I successfully doubled the recipe. I made the following adjustments:
Step 2- chop for 10 seconds
Step 3-cook for 12 minutes
Step 4- put measuring cup back on and cook for 32 minutes.
Step 5- mix for 20 secondsThank you for the recipe Lauren. Perfect treat.

Definitely make it in two batches. I've tried double batches twice and it doesn't set. It works as a single batch perfectly every time.

Hi,
I was wondering if this could be frozen successfully? I usually make all my fudge in chocolate molds and then store in freezer until I am giving them out in hampers (I make roughly 20 hampers at a time). I usually do this over a couple of weeks so trying to write out my preparation order list.
Thank youReply
Lauren says
Hm, I haven't tried to freeze it before. I'd suggest popping a piece into the freezer overnight as a test. Sorry I can't be of more help xx
Reply
Kirsty Lyon says
Thanks. Will give it a try
Kate says
Hi Kirsty, has it frozen well? I would love to make this as a gift but we have a 7hr car drive and I think it will fare better if it can leave our place frozen!
Catriona says
Didn't have enough white chocolate so did half white and half milk choc and it was delicious, don't know how I will wait the 6 hours before I can cut it!
Reply
Lauren says
Ooh that sounds great!

Christine says
After making this a number of times, we found we didn't have enough white chocolate, so did half white and half milk chocolate. We thought this fudge couldn't get any better, but now we have it this way by choice. Sooooooo delicious.

Oh that's awesome to know!

AMAH-ZING took it to work and people said it was the best they'd ever tasted!
So easy to make, thanks!Reply

Hi, new thermo user here. Step 4 do I put the measuring cup back on ?

Hi Helen, yes you do 🙂

sharyn says
Hi how long will it store for and what is the best way to store it?
Reply
Lauren says
Hi Sharyn, I usually store ours in an airtight container in the fridge. You could store it in a container in your pantry, however it may go a little soft depending on how warm it is. To be honest the longest we've stored it is around a week.

The best fudge recipe ever!!! I had marriage proposals after people ate the fudge. This is now a family favourite recipe. Thank you so much.

I had absolute rave reviews about this fudge from all the people who tried some, and it was the first time I'd tried a recipe without glucose syrup. However I did find it was difficult to smooth over once poured out. So I didn't get the smooth clean finish which presented as nicely once wrapped for Xmas gifts. There's another recipe on the TM site called salted caramel fudge which did achieve the smooth finish on top. Possibly it's the slight difference in measurements or cooking times or maybe it's the addition of glucose? Still it was delicious, I'd make it again just the same, but not for gifting ?
Reply
Lauren says
Thanks Lisa, you are probably right, the glucose syrup probably does make it easier to smooth. I'm really glad everyone enjoyed the taste x
