Sugar Cookie Fudge Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk
• 1 bag (12 ounces) of white chocolate chips
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) of unsalted butter
• 1 bag of sugar cookie mix
• Colorful sprinkles for decoration

Instructions:

1. Prepare a Baking Dish:
   • Line an 8×8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides. This will make it easier to remove the fudge once it’s set.
2. Melt the Butter:
   • In a medium saucepan, melt the stick of butter over low heat. Make sure not to let it brown; you want it to be fully melted and smooth.
3. Add Condensed Milk and White Chocolate Chips:
   • Once the butter is melted, pour in the can of sweetened condensed milk and add the entire bag of white chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the white chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
4. Incorporate Sugar Cookie Mix:
   • Gradually add the sugar cookie mix to the saucepan while stirring constantly. Continue to cook over low heat, ensuring that all the cookie mix is fully incorporated and there are no lumps. This will take an additional 2-3 minutes.
5. Transfer to Baking Dish:
   • Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth it out and make it level.
6. Add Sprinkles:
   • While the fudge is still warm, sprinkle colorful sprinkles evenly over the top. This not only adds a festive touch but also enhances the sugar cookie flavor.
7. Chill and Set:
   • Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and let the fudge set for at least 2-3 hours, or until it’s firm to the touch.
8. Cut into Squares:
   • Once the fudge is completely set, use the parchment paper overhangs to lift it out of the dish. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into small squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
9. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Your Sugar Cookie Fudge is ready to be enjoyed! Arrange the pieces on a plate or in a decorative tin for a delightful treat. Share with family and friends or keep it all to yourself!
10. Storage:
    • Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness. It can be kept for up to a week.

1. Can I use a different type of cookie mix?
   • Yes, you can experiment with different cookie mixes to create unique flavors. Chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, or even oatmeal cookie mix could work well.
2. What can I use if I don’t have sweetened condensed milk?
   • If you don’t have sweetened condensed milk, you can make a homemade version by simmering equal parts of regular milk and sugar until it thickens and becomes syrupy. However, using store-bought sweetened condensed milk is recommended for the best texture and flavor.
3. Can I use a different type of chocolate besides white chocolate chips?
   • While white chocolate chips are traditionally used in sugar cookie fudge, you can experiment with other chocolate varieties like milk chocolate or dark chocolate if you prefer a different flavor profile.
4. How long should I cook the fudge mixture on low heat?
   • Cooking time may vary, but generally, you should cook the fudge mixture on low heat for about 5-10 minutes, or until the white chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir constantly to prevent burning or scorching.
5. Can I make this fudge without a saucepan?
   • A saucepan is recommended for even heating, but you can also make this fudge in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the butter, condensed milk, and white chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Then, add the cookie mix and follow the remaining steps.
6. Do I need to bake the fudge in the oven?
   • No, there’s no need to bake the fudge in the oven. The fudge sets and firms up in the refrigerator.
7. Can I customize the fudge with additional mix-ins?
   • Absolutely! You can add extra ingredients like chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or even crushed Oreos to the fudge for added texture and flavor.
