Slow cooker fudge, crumbly texture.

[Thingsthatgo]

I’m looking for a fool proof fudge recipe, preferably one that has a crumbly texture rather than a squidgy ganache. I’m going for a traditional vanilla fudge, and then maybe experiment.
it doesn’t have to be slow cooker, but simple would be good. I made it once before, years ago and the sugar didn’t melt properly.
I’d like to redeem myself!
thank you for your help.

Bump…

Me by another name years ago.Did the rounds on MN.

Like magic.

Amazing! Thank you 🤩

Look at a recipe for Scottish tablet.

But that's a saucepan recipe, not slow cooker. Slow cooker fudge doesn't get hot enough to make crumbly fudge (IMO), it's basically just melting stuff together. I make white chocolate fudge in the slow cooker, but it's pretty chewy, and for the crumbly stuff you have to boil the sugar, so it's a pan.

Saw this just the other day so haven’t made it yet but looks like the kind of thing

Won’t seem to allow the link but it’s Nigella Vanilla Fudge

Love Scottish tablet 😍 far superior to fudge!

Ignore me, misreading the OP as usual.

Best crumbly fudge is made using clotted cream...

Link to Nigella’s vanilla fudge which looks delicious.

This. Crumbly crack.

oh, maybe I should try making tablet instead.

Makes sense that the slow cooker doesn’t get hot enough. thank you.

Fudge is slightly fudgier than tablet tho.

That recipe l posted under my old name is 😋 though.

If you want crumblier you need a pan to get it hot enough, though if I were me I’d just make tablet. If you do go the tablet route, add in a couple of squares of white chocolate at the beating stage. Makes it just that bit creamier tasting and helps it to set.
