Steps to Make It
- Start by lining an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. This will help you remove the fudge easily later. Preheat your oven to 350°F if you plan to bake the sugar cookie mix.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. You'll know it's ready when it's glossy and creamy.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the sugar cookie mix. The mixture will thicken as you mix. This is where the magic happens, so keep stirring until everything is well combined.
- Add in the vanilla extract and half of the sprinkles, mixing well. The fudge should be thick and creamy, with a lovely aroma filling your kitchen. Don't forget to save some sprinkles for the top!
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining sprinkles on top for that festive touch. It's like a blanket of holiday cheer!
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it's firm. You'll know it's ready when you can easily cut into it without it falling apart. Patience is key here!
- Once set, lift the fudge out of the baking dish using the parchment paper. Cut it into squares and serve. Enjoy the smiles from your family and friends as they indulge in this sweet treat!
Make It Perfect
- For a smoother texture, make sure to melt the chocolate slowly and stir constantly.
- If you want to add more flavor, consider mixing in some crushed peppermint or nuts.
