If there’s one kind of recipe that no one can fail at, it’s a tray bake! Deceivingly named as the majority of them don’t require any baking, tray bakes are the perfect way to impress people with your baking skills, without actually having any. Fudge Slice is especially easy and as equally delicious.
This is another one of these recipes that Granny has perfected, so much so that when I make a tray of this Fudge Slice, it is lucky to last more than a day. Best of all, it’s ridiculously easy to make with a mere five ingredients, a bit of melting & chopping and that’s you done! And although you could mix it up with different kinds of chocolate, there’s something quite nostalgic about using the cheap little chocolate bar from everyone’s childhood.
And a top tip from myself…as this recipe only calls for 10 Cadbury Fudge Chocolate Bars, if you buy a couple of the 6-Fudge Multi-packs, you get two left to eat to yourself! (Or of course you could up the Fudge count in the Fudge Slice but where’s the fun in that?).

Ingredients
- 10 Cadbury Fudges
- 115 g Butter
- 300 g Milk Chocolate
- 3 tbsp Golden Syrup
- 230 g Digestive Biscuits
Instructions
- Crush the digestive biscuits, either in a blender or in a freezer bag with a rolling pin.
- Meanwhile, in a bain-marie, gently melt the butter, syrup and half the chocolate (150g).
- Once completely melted, add the digestive biscuits and 8 of the Fudges, roughly chopped.
- Press the digestive mixture into a lightly greased tray with the back of a spoon. Melt the remaining chocolate and pour/spread on top of the biscuit base. Top with the remaining two Fudges, chopped.
- Leave to set in the fridge for a couple of hours or ideally overnight before cutting into individual portions.

Hi Sophie. It’s really up to you how big you want to cut you slices. I know some people like smaller bite size pieces but I’m more of a slab a piece kind of girl!

I find this very buttery,it lies on top when adding chocolate. Am I doing something wrong?
Theres no way your using that recipe and ending up with what’s in the pictures. Absolute joke.
Brill recipe I love it so do my family and friends !! And yes I’ve made this twice and it comes out exactly like in the picture !!
Maybe you’re doing something a bit wrong, so try again reading and measuring carefully. Should be fine then.
Just made your drop down dead ginger nuts . At last a recipe that doesn’t spread !
A joy to dunk and eat thank you
Sounds good would love to try this but I don’t have a Bain Marie any suggestions what I can use as alternatives? Thank you i
You just need a small pan with a little boiling water in it, then melt the mixture in a bowl larger than the pan so the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
Just made this,it’s scrummy.Worked really well.Thanks for the recipe!
Followed the recipe and its very buttery tasting. It worked well just not chocolaty enough.
