- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup holiday sprinkles, divided
- 3–4 ounces almond bark or white chocolate for drizzling
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium-sized double boiler saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, sugar cookie mix, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until melted and smooth.
- Step 2: After everything is melted, continue stirring for 2–3 minutes to ensure the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Step 3: Remove from heat but keep the pan on the double boiler. Stir in the vanilla extract and half of the holiday sprinkles until evenly distributed.
- Step 4: Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper and spray it well with cooking spray. Pour the fudge mixture into the dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Step 5: Press the remaining sprinkles gently into the top of the fudge. Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for 2–3 hours until firm.
- Step 6: Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper and cut into pieces on a hard surface.
- Step 7: Melt the almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth. Transfer to a zippered plastic bag, cut a small tip off, and drizzle over the fudge. Alternatively, use a fork to drizzle.
- Step 8: Let the drizzle set completely before serving and enjoying your festive sugar cookie fudge.
Tips & Variations
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the creamiest texture.
- Substitute holiday sprinkles with crushed candy canes for a peppermint twist.
- If you don’t have a double boiler, place a heatproof bowl over a simmering pot of water to melt the ingredients gently.
- For a nutty flavor, try adding chopped toasted almonds into the fudge mixture before chilling.
Storage
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. To serve, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Avoid leaving the fudge out for long periods to maintain its texture and freshness.

FAQs
Can I make this fudge without a double boiler?
Yes, you can melt the ingredients gently in a microwave-safe bowl using short bursts of 20-30 seconds, stirring in between to prevent burning. Keep the heat low and stir often for best results.
Can I use a different type of cookie mix?
While sugar cookie mix works best to capture the traditional flavor, you can experiment with other cake or cookie mixes, but this may slightly change the texture and taste of the fudge.
