Ingredients

  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 ¼ cups dry sugar cookie mix
  • 2 ½ cups white chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Christmas sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with foil and spray it with non-stick spray for easy removal.
  2. Step 2: Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until it is warmed through.
  3. Step 3: Add the dry sugar cookie mix to the warm condensed milk. Continue stirring and cooking over medium heat until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.

Tips & Variations

  • For a festive twist, try adding crushed peppermint candies or chopped nuts along with the sprinkles.
  • If you don’t have sugar cookie mix, you can substitute with a basic sugar cookie dry mix or crush some plain sugar cookies finely.
  • Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water for cleaner cuts when slicing the fudge.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to 3 months; just thaw in the fridge before serving. Reheat slightly at room temperature for a softer texture.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cookie mix?

Yes, you can substitute sugar cookie mix with other sweet cookie mixes, but keep in mind this may change the flavor and texture slightly.

Do I need to use foil to line the pan?

Lining the pan with foil and spraying it helps the fudge lift out easily and keeps cleanup simple, but you can also use parchment paper or a greased baking dish if you prefer.
