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)
- 1/2 cup sugar cookie crumbs (from baked cookies)
Topping
- Sprinkles, for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring enough overhang on the edges for easy removal of the fudge later.
- Heat the fudge mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Add flavorings and crumbs: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, almond extract if using, and the sugar cookie crumbs until evenly incorporated.
- Pour and spread: Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to form a smooth surface.
- Add sprinkles: Sprinkle the top generously with colorful sprinkles, gently pressing them into the fudge to ensure they stick.
- Chill until firm: Place the fudge in the refrigerator and chill for 2-3 hours or until firm enough to cut.
- Cut and serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the dish. Cut into 16 equal squares and serve.
Notes
- Use fresh sugar cookie crumbs from baked cookies for the best texture and flavor in the fudge.
- Almond extract is optional but adds a nice depth of flavor; you can substitute with an equal amount of additional vanilla extract if preferred.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a nut-free option, omit the almond extract.
- To make the fudge more festive, try using holiday-themed sprinkles.
