Ingredient Notes

sugar cookie mix – this is the dry cookie mix that comes in a package on the aisle with the cake mixes. There are several different kinds to choose from and some stores have their own brand that is less expensive. 

white chocolate chips – any brand will work perfectly. 

sweetened condensed milk – not only does this help our fudge to be smooth it adds some more sweetness. 

butter – we use unsalted butter but either will work well in this homemade fudge recipe. 

sprinkles – so these are actually optional but they are necessary in my opinion. Jimmies are my favorite type of sprinkle. 

cooking spray – I didn’t count this as one of the ingredients and parchment paper alone will probably do the trick but I give mine a little spray just to be sure it doesn’t stick. 

How to make this easy fudge recipe

1. Prepare a square pan by lining it with parchment paper and giving it a little spray with cooking spray. 
2. Combine the dry cookie mix, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter in a medium saucepan. Start it on medium heat and then lower the heat as necessary so your fudge mixture doesn’t burn. Stir very often so it doesn’t stick and everything gets mixed together. 
3. Pour the fudge into the prepared pan, smooth the top out and add Christmas sprinkles.
4. Let set, use a sharp knife cut into squares.  

Tips

• You can use an 8″ or 9″ square pan. 
• A metal pan will work better than a glass baking dish. 
• Parchment paper works better than wax paper or aluminum foil, but they will work if that is all you have. 
• For best results work quickly when pouring the fudge into the pan and smoothing it out. 
• Press the sprinkles into the top of the fudge immediately after you get it smoothed out. As you can see in my photos some of my sprinkles came off. 
• This can set up at room temperature or in the refrigerator. If you let it set up in the fridge then take it out a bit before you want to cut it.
• Cut it into as many pieces as you want. I make this to put into treat bags to take to work so I cut it into 64 pieces. It is rich and sweet and small pieces that are one or two bites are perfect. 

Storage

Store cookie dough fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week.
