‘Tis the season for homemade gifts! Edible gifts are always popular around the holidays, and homemade fudge is no exception. Making gifts at home adds the perfect personal touch that you’re always searching for, and is a thrifty way to get through that dreaded holiday shopping list. The editors of AllFreeSlowCookerRecipes are of the opinion that edible treats make the best homemade gifts, which is why we’re showing you how to make fudge in your slow cooker!

Whether you’re making it as a gift, as a treat for the kids (or yourself), or as part of a dessert spread for a holiday party, making fudge in the slow cooker couldn’t be easier or more fun. Traditionally, a chocolaty mixture is heated to its boiling point, chilled in an ice bath, poured onto a pan to cool and set, and then cut into bite-sized pieces. Because this way doesn’t involve any hot boiling liquid, your kids can get in on the action, not to mention it will free up your stove top for other things.

Below, we’ve listed out 5 easy steps for making slow cooker fudge. Try this easy recipe, and give the gift of delicious homemade fudge this holiday season!
