I’m so excited to share our Christmas Cookie Fudge Recipe! The fudge base tastes like sugar cookies, and we added M&Ms & red and green sprinkles to the top of the fudge, just like our favorite Christmas cookies! It is such an easy fudge recipe, we won’t microwave it, but we’ll set up a double boiler to melt everything together. There’s a secret ingredient that you won’t even believe that makes this fudge taste like sugar cookies. You are going to love this festive fudge recipe, so let’s get to it.

Here’s why we love this recipe-

• It uses simple ingredients- only 5 ingredients are needed to make this creamy fudge (plus any toppings)!
• This is one of our favorite fudges for the holiday season. Such a fun twist on our classic Christmas fudge recipe.
• Not only is it great for making your family during the holiday season, it makes the perfect edible gift!
• We don’t even have to use a candy thermometer for this easy recipe.

Sugar Cookie Christmas Fudge Ingredients

• 1 ¼ cup Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix (from the Betty Crocker pouch sugar cookie mix)
• 2 ½ cups white chocolate chips
• 1 tbsp. Butter
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tsp. Vanilla
• Red and green M&Ms for topping (about 1/4 cup)
• Christmas sprinkles (we used a mix of white, red, and green jimmies)

Step By Step Instructions:

Step 1: Line an 8×8 or 9×9 square pan or baking dish with parchment paper or wax paper, and set aside.

Step 2: To a medium saucepan, add sugar cookie mix, butter, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and white chocolate chips.

Step 3: Heat over medium heat, mixing constantly, until everything is combined and chocolate chips have melted and fully incorporated.

Step 4: Dump the fudge mixture into your prepared pan, and smooth out evenly, making sure to push it into all of the corners.

Step 5: Sprinkle red and green M&Ms & holiday sprinkles over the top of the fudge.

Step 6: Move the fudge to the refrigerator to chill for about 2 hours, until the fudge is set.

Step 7: Once it has set, use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into squares.

Christmas Cookie Fudge Recipe FAQs-

How should I store this fudge?

For best results, store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Is evaporated milk or sweetened condensed milk better for fudge?

This recipe calls for sweetened condensed milk. Evaporated milk would not work the same when it comes time for the fudge to set. Most fudge recipes I see call for sweetened condensed!

Tips-

• Using a good quality chocolate will give you the best results for this recipe.
• You’ll want to work quickly once the mixture is melted, It will start to solidify quickly. Make sure to have your dish prepared for the fudge first!
• You can customize this fudge- use your favorite holiday sprinkles, skip the M&Ms, dress it up however you like!
