Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
Add-ins and Topping
- 1/2 cup sugar cookie crumbs (from baked cookies)
- Sprinkles, for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, making sure to leave an overhang on the sides. This will make it easier to lift the fudge out once set.
- Melt the fudge mixture: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and completely melted, ensuring no chocolate chunks remain.
- Add flavorings and crumbs: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, almond extract if desired, and the sugar cookie crumbs until evenly incorporated throughout the fudge mixture.
- Pour and spread: Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to create a smooth top surface.
- Add sprinkles topping: Sprinkle your choice of festive sprinkles over the surface of the fudge and gently press them into the mixture so they adhere as it sets.
- Chill: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours or until the fudge is firm and set.
- Cut and serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the dish. Cut into 16 squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- Allow the fudge to cool slightly before adding vanilla and extracts to preserve their flavors.
- For best texture, use freshly baked sugar cookies for crumbs rather than store-bought crumbs.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- You can substitute white chocolate chips with white chocolate bars chopped into pieces if preferred.
- Optional almond extract adds a subtle nutty note but can be omitted for a pure vanilla flavor.
