WHAT YOU'LL NEED
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk: Creates that silky-smooth foundation that makes the fudge so irresistibly creamy.
- 2 ½ cups white chocolate chips: When melted, they create that dreamy, sweet base that holds everything together.
- 1 ¼ cup sugar cookie mix: Gives your fudge that classic cookie flavor everyone loves. Don't forget to heat-treat it first for safety.
- 2 Tablespoons butter: Adds that extra bit of creaminess and helps everything blend together perfectly.
- Christmas sprinkles or sprinkles of your choice: These colorful bits add holiday cheer and a fun crunch to every bite.
COOKING STEPS
- Step 1:
- Get your 9x9 baking dish ready by putting down parchment paper and giving it a light spray with cooking oil. Put it aside for now.
- Step 2:
- Get a big pot going over medium heat and pour in the sweetened condensed milk. Keep stirring it while it warms up.
- Step 3:
- When your condensed milk gets hot, dump in the white chocolate chips, cookie mix, and butter. Don't stop stirring until everything's melted together smoothly.
- Step 4:
- Take your pot off the heat and mix in a bunch of those festive sprinkles.
- Step 5:
- Pour everything into your prepared dish and smooth it out flat. Sprinkle more colorful bits on top to make it look extra festive.
- Step 6:
- Put the dish in your fridge and let it get firm for at least 2 hours or leave it overnight if that's easier.
- Step 7:
- Once it's hard enough, cut it into small squares and they're ready to enjoy.
Keeping It Fresh
- Keep your fudge in the fridge in something airtight and it'll stay good for up to 2 weeks.
- The fudge tastes great cold from the fridge, but letting it sit out makes it softer if that's what you prefer.
