Ingredients in Sugar Cookie Fudge
- Sweetened condensed milk – You will need a 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk.
- White chocolate chips – The recipe calls for white chocolate chips. The white chocolate pairs so well with the sugar cookie flavor in the fudge, but you can absolutely use a different kind of chocolate if you’d like. The fudge won’t be white, but it will still be delicious.
- Sugar cookie mix – You can use any brand of sugar cookie mix for the fudge. Make sure to use the dry mix, not sugar cookie dough!
- Butter – Just two tablespoons of butter add to the creaminess of the fudge.
- Sprinkles – The sprinkles are completely optional, but they add a fun splash of color to the fudge. You can change the colors of the sprinkles based on the holiday or special occasion. Use red and green sprinkles for Christmas, red and pink for Valentine’s Day, pastel sprinkles for Easter, pink or blue sprinkles for a baby shower, etc.
Tips for Perfect Sugar Cookie Fudge
Full instructions for making the recipe can be found on the recipe card below, but here are a few helpful tips.
- Stir constantly while heating. Keep the mixture moving so the condensed milk doesn’t scorch and the fudge stays smooth and creamy.
- Use gentle heat. Warm the mixture just until heated through — boiling can cause the fudge to thicken too quickly or turn grainy.
- Add the cookie mix off the heat. Removing the pan from the burner before stirring in the sugar cookie mix helps keep the texture soft and even.
- Line the pan for easy removal. Parchment paper or foil makes it simple to lift the fudge out and slice clean squares.
- Customize with sprinkles or mix-ins. Change sprinkle colors for different holidays, or add white chocolate chips for extra texture.
- Let the fudge fully set before cutting. Chilling ensures neat slices and the best consistency.
How to Store Sugar Cookie Fudge
- Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
- Layer carefully: Place parchment or wax paper between layers to prevent sticking.
- Freezer-friendly: Freeze fully set fudge for up to three months.
- Thawing: Let frozen pieces sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
