Detailed Directions and Instructions
Prepare the Fudge Mixture
Gather your materials and prepare a baking dish by lining it with parchment paper. In a saucepan, combine butter and white chocolate chips over low heat. Stir constantly until melted and smooth.
Add Sweetened Condensed Milk
Once the butter and chocolate are combined, pour in the sweetened condensed milk. Continue to stir the mixture until it is well incorporated.
Add the Sugar Cookie Mix
Gradually add the sugar cookie mix to the melted mixture while stirring continuously. Ensure that there are no lumps and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Incorporate Festive Sprinkles
Fold in the festive sprinkles using a spatula. This will add color and texture to your fudge.
Transfer to Baking Dish
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use the spatula to spread it evenly, making sure it’s well distributed in the dish.
Chill the Fudge
Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm to the touch. This will help it set properly.
Cut into Squares
Once the fudge has set, remove it from the refrigerator. Use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into squares or rectangles, as desired.
Store the Fudge
Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
Notes
Ensure Even Melting
When melting your ingredients, make sure to keep the heat low to prevent burning. Stirring constantly is essential for achieving a smooth texture.
Optional Add-Ins
Feel free to customize your fudge with other mix-ins like chopped nuts or different types of sprinkles based on your preference.
Serving Suggestions
This fudge makes a great holiday gift when packaged in festive boxes or can be served as a sweet treat at gatherings.
Freezing Fudge
