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 well blended.
- Remove from heat (but keep 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 well with cooking spray.
- Transfer fudge to the baking dish and smooth it out evenly.
- Press the remaining sprinkles into the top of the fudge and chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
- Once the fudge has hardened, lift it out of the baking dish using the parchment paper 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 fudge. You can also use a fork if you prefer.
- Let cool completely and enjoy.

Is the fudge gluten-free?
Make sure to use a gluten-free sugar cookie mix if you want the fudge to be gluten-free.

The fudge should be firm to the touch and hold its shape after chilling in the refrigerator for a few hours. Once it’s hard, it’s ready to cut!
