Ingredients

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 ½ cups white chocolate chips
1 ¼ cup sugar cookie mix, heat-treated
2 tablespoons butter
Christmas sprinkles, plus extra for topping

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparing the Ingredients

Start by lining a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, then lightly coat it with non-stick spray. Measure all ingredients before turning on the stove so everything moves quickly. Heat-treat the sugar cookie mix if it contains raw flour by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking briefly, then letting it cool completely.

Cooking Instructions

Place a large pot over medium heat and add the sweetened condensed milk. Stir often until warm, then add the white chocolate chips, sugar cookie mix, and butter. Keep stirring until the mixture turns smooth and glossy. Remove the pot from heat and fold in Christmas sprinkles. Pour the fudge into the prepared dish, smooth the top, and add more sprinkles. Refrigerate until firm, then cut into small squares.

Tips for Perfect Results

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Avoid using high heat, as white chocolate can scorch quickly. Stir constantly and keep the temperature moderate. Skipping the heat-treatment step for the cookie mix can affect both flavor and texture, so take a few extra minutes to prepare it properly.

Pro Tips for Better Flavor

Use high-quality white chocolate chips for a creamier finish. For a stronger cookie flavor, add a pinch of vanilla extract after removing the mixture from heat. This sweet cookie treat also tastes great when topped with pastel sprinkles for non-Christmas occasions.

Serving and Storage

How to Serve

Cut Sugar Cookie Fudge into bite-sized squares and arrange them on a holiday platter. This festive dessert pairs well with hot cocoa or coffee and looks beautiful on cookie trays alongside classic treats.

How to Store Leftovers

Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving so the texture softens slightly.
