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 everything is melted, continue stirring for 2-3 minutes to ensure it’s all combined.
- Remove from heat (but keep on the double boiler) and add the 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 fudge to the baking dish and smooth it out in the pan.
- Press the remaining sprinkles into the top of the fudge and chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
- Once the fudge has hardened, remove it from the baking dish by lifting the paper out and cut it into pieces on a hard surface.
- Melt almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments until melted and smooth.
- Transfer 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 cool completely and enjoy.

1. Can I use different types of chocolate?
Yes! You can substitute milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips for the white chocolate chips if you prefer a different flavor.

If you don’t have a double boiler, you can create one using a heatproof bowl over a saucepan filled with simmering water. Just be cautious of the steam.
