how to make Valentine’s Day Sugar Cookie Fudge
Ingredients :
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup sugar cookie mix (I used Betty Crocker)
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup holiday sprinkles (divided)
- 3-4 ounces of almond bark or white chocolate
Directions :
- In a medium-sized double boiler saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, sugar cookie mix, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
- Heat on medium heat and stir continuously until melted and smooth.
- Once everything is melted, continue stirring for 2-3 minutes to ensure it’s fully melted and combined.
- Remove from heat (but keep on the double boiler) and add the vanilla and half of the holiday sprinkles. Mix well.
- Line a 9×9” baking dish with parchment paper and spray it well with cooking spray.
- Transfer the fudge mixture to the baking dish and smooth it out evenly.
- Press the remaining sprinkles into the top of the fudge and chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
- Once the fudge has hardened, lift it out using the parchment paper and cut it into pieces on a hard surface.
- Melt the almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments until melted and smooth.
- Transfer the almond bark to a zippered bag and cut the tip off to drizzle over the fudge. You can also use a fork to drizzle if you prefer.
- Let cool completely and enjoy.

FAQs
1. Can I use regular chocolate instead of white chocolate?
Yes, you can use milk or dark chocolate if you prefer, but it will change the flavor and color of the fudge.
2. Can I freeze the fudge?
Yes, you can freeze it for up to three months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap before placing it in an airtight container.
3. What can I do if my fudge is too soft?
If your fudge doesn’t firm up as expected, you can pop it back in the fridge for a longer time. If it’s still soft after that, you may need to reheat it and add a bit more sugar cookie mix before setting it again.
