Description
Creamy and soft homemade caramel fudge coated in milk chocolate with a dashing of salt.
Ingredients
- 60 grams (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
- 240 ml (1 cup) sweetened condensed milk
- 80 ml (1/3 cup) golden syrup
- 90 grams (1/2 cup) brown sugar
- 150 grams (1 cup) good quality white chocolate, chopped
- 350 grams (2 and 1/3 cup ) good quality milk chocolate
- Salt
Instructions
- Grease an 8 inch square baking tin and line with baking or parchment paper. Place a medium saucepan on a low heat and slowly melt the butter. Once melted, add in the condensed milk, golden syrup and sugar. Stir until combined and the sugar is dissolved. Add a pinch of salt.
- Turn up the heat to medium and continue to stir until the mixture is simmering and starting to thicken. This may take a while, 5-6 minutes or so. Remove the caramel mixture from the heat and stir in all the pieces of white chocolate until melted.
- Pour the fudge into the prepared tray. Smooth the top and then sprinkle salt over the top. Place in the fridge for 3-4 hours to set or overnight. Line a cookie tray with baking paper and then chop the fudge into small, bite-sized pieces. Pop them onto the tray and add them to the freezer while you melt the milk chocolate.
- I like to use the stove top method so the chocolate stays warm. Place a small saucepan on medium heat with about 5cm or 2 inches of water in the bottom. Pop the chocolate into a small heatproof bowl and place the bowl on top of the saucepan, ensuring the bottom of the bowl will not touch the water below. Gently stir as the steam slowly melts the chocolate and it becomes silky and smooth.
- Once the chocolate has completely melted, remove the saucepan from the heat but keep the bowl on top. Grab the fudge from the freezer and one at a time, pop them into the chocolate. Swirl each one around until it is fully coated and then lift it out with a fork and place it back onto the tray. Before the chocolate fully sets, add a sprinkling of salt on top. Continue until you have done all the fudge and then place them back into the fridge to fully set for another 20 minutes.

I live in California and can’t find Golden syrup. Since Honey has the same consistency as Golden syrup, could I use it instead ? ? Dee Williamson
Hi Dee! Thanks for your comment. You can actually leave out the golden syrup entirely if you like. It adds extra caramel flavour but leaving it out won’t effect the texture or end result of this recipe. In fact, I have a similar recipe for Caramel Truffles that has the same ingredients without the golden syrup and I can promise they are still delicious!
Hice esta receta y me quedaron muy buenas! Se las recomiendo

So ridiculously delicious looking!!!
Thanks Malinda!
These look so delicious, Jess! I love that you did a milk chocolate coating. I’m usually a dark chocolate person, but when it comes to chocolate covered caramel, milk chocolate is just a classic!
I totally agree! I usually cover my truffles and candies in dark chocolate but went milk this time and I am so glad i did! 😉
These fudge bites look so amazing! I need to make them asap, I love how easy they are to make. So much cheaper than buying that amount of caramelly goodness. Your website is amazing, I just want to eat everything off the screen 😉
Thanks Katy and your so right! Fudge is quite expensive over here and this recipe makes plenty of it! 🙂
You’re speaking my language!!! I adore anything caramel and chocolate—must make these soon!!!
Thanks Liz, I couldn’t agree more!
Is there something I could substitute with the golden syrup? I love the display of this. The deep chocolate and purple is always a great combination of colors.
Hi Linda, thanks for your comment. Golden syrup is made from cane sugar and has a similar colour and thickness to honey. I looked around online and a few sources recommend exchanging it like for like for corn syrup however, I haven’t tried this myself. Golden syrup does have a sweet and rich flavour which adds to the ‘caramel’ flavour in this recipe, which I’m not sure corn syrup would do. Perhaps treacle if you have access to it? Otherwise you can track it down at an international grocery or candy store? 🙂 I’m sorry for the confusion! I didn’t realise I golden syrup wasn’t readily available in some countries!
Oh wow, these look amazing!
Thanks Lauren! 🙂
Caramel + chocolate — the BEST! Looove the sprinkle of salt on the top to balance everything out too. I don’t think I’ve ever had a caramel fudge, so I absolutely cannot wait this. BEAUTIFUL, Jess!
Thanks Leah, you are too kind! Gotta add that little of salt – I love me some sweet and salty action! 😉
That silky smooth texture looks amazing! I’m sure I could eat quite a few of these candies!
Thanks Christin, they are super smooth! 🙂
Yum! Little sweet chocolate treats like this are always on the agenda for me.. so I have to make these.
Thanks Thalia! 🙂
I love adding salt to my caramel too. Wow – thats so good that it makes 50 pieces!!! I’m a huge fan of homemade fudge as well. Thanks for linking up with our Fabulous Foodie Fridays party! Have a great weekend. xx
Yes there is plenty to go around, that’s for sure! I feel like I’ve been eating it for weeks! 😉 Not that I’m complaining! Thanks for stopping by Lucy! x
Could these look MORE enticing?! I think not!
Aw thanks Gigi!
I HAVE to make these!! OMG I’m beyond excited!
Aw thanks Nagi! I hope you get a chance! The perfect dessert to your butter chicken 😉
These would make great gifts. Could you please explain more about golden syrup? What is it? Thank you!
Hi Kathryn, I’m sorry for the confusion – I didn’t realise golden syrup wasn’t readily available in different countries! Golden syrup is made from cane sugar and has a similar colour and thickness to honey. I looked around online and a few sources recommend exchanging it like for like for corn syrup however, I haven’t tried this myself. Golden syrup does have a sweet and rich flavour which adds to the ‘caramel’ flavour in this recipe, which I’m not sure corn syrup would do.

I wish I had a handful of these right now! What’s not to love about chocolate and caramel?!
I couldn’t agree more! Thanks Julia! 🙂
I LOVE that sprinkle of course sea salt on top of these. Salt and caramel are my dream combination! GREAT recipe! 😀
Thanks Kennedy! The salt really does make it! 🙂
So beautiful Jess! I love caramels covered in chocolate, and your delicious caramel fudge version is 1000x better than anything I’ve ever seen in a store. I know these will be a hit with my Fantales and Werthers loving family 🙂
Aw thank you Amy! It is such a yummy recipe! Oh I love fantales and wethers! And those pascall caramel chews – these fudge bites are just like them!
Oh my goodness, I had no idea fudge was so easy. I nearly bought a tiny packet of it for $12 at the night market. So glad I didn’t. This looks incredible.
Oh I know, fudge is always so expensive! But the homemade stuff is just as good (if not better, in my opinion). Hope you get a chance to make it! 🙂
