How to Make Melt-in-Your-Mouth Christmas Sugar Cookie Fudge
Ingredients:
- 2 cups White Chocolate Chips
- 16 ounces Vanilla Frosting (1 can)
- 0.25 cup Sugar Cookie Mix
- Christmas Sprinkle Mix
Directions:
Step 1: Grab an 8-inch square pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang on the sides to use as handles.
Step 2: Melt the white chocolate chips in a medium, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until completely smooth and melty. Be careful not to overheat.
Step 3: Remove the lid and all foil from the vanilla frosting container. Microwave on high for about 45 seconds, or until it’s lovely and completely liquid (pourable).
Step 4: Pour the warm, liquid frosting into the bowl with the melted white chocolate. Add in the sugar cookie mix. Stir until everything is beautifully combined and smooth, with no streaks of cookie mix left.
Step 5: Transfer the mixture into your prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly, reaching all the corners and making the top as smooth as possible.
Step 6: Top liberally with your festive Christmas sprinkle mix. Don’t be shy!
Step 7: Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge has completely set and is firm to the touch.
Step 8: Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper handles. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into ½-inch or 1-inch squares using a sharp knife for clean cuts. Serve immediately.
