Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Mixture
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup sugar cookie mix (dry, from a package)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles (plus more for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides to facilitate easy removal of the fudge later.
- Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until the mixture is completely melted and smooth, ensuring the chocolate does not burn.
- Add Flavorings and Mix-Ins: Stir in the sugar cookie mix, vanilla extract, almond extract if using, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until the batter is fully combined and smooth without any lumps.
- Incorporate Sprinkles: Remove the saucepan from heat and gently fold in 2 tablespoons of sprinkles to evenly distribute them throughout the fudge mixture.
- Set in Pan: Quickly pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle additional sprinkles on top for decoration and added festive flair.
- Chill: Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until firm and set.
- Serve: Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into approximately 25 small squares and serve.
Notes
- Use festive sprinkles to suit holidays or special occasions for a personalized touch.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
- For longer storage, freeze the fudge in a sealed container and thaw before serving.
- The almond extract is optional but adds a lovely nutty depth of flavor to the fudge.
