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 white chocolate chips, sugar cookie mix, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
- Heat on medium heat and stir continuously until melted and smooth.
- Once melted, continue stirring for 2-3 minutes to make sure everything is well combined.
- Remove from heat (but keep it on the double boiler) and add 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 to the baking dish and smooth it out.
- Press the remaining sprinkles into the top of the fudge and chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
- Once hardened, lift the fudge out of the baking dish 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 smooth.
- Transfer the melted 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 it cool completely and enjoy!
