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)
Mix-ins and Toppings
- 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, leaving an overhang on the sides to make it easy to lift the fudge out once set.
- Melt the fudge base: In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly to ensure the mixture melts smoothly without burning.
- Add flavor and crumbs: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, almond extract if using, and the sugar cookie crumbs. Mix until well combined.
- Pour and spread: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Add sprinkles: Sprinkle the tops with your choice of colorful sprinkles, gently pressing them into the surface so they stick.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the fudge for 2 to 3 hours or until it becomes firm and sliceable.
- Slice and serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the dish. Cut the fudge into squares and serve.
Notes
- Use good quality white chocolate chips for the best texture and flavor.
- The almond extract is optional but adds a lovely, nutty note that complements the sugar cookie crumbs.
- Make sure to crush sugar cookies finely for even texture in the fudge.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Customize toppings with chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips for variety.
