how to make Valentine’s Day Sugar Cookie Fudge Recipe
Use a double boiler and stir often so the fudge stays smooth and does not burn. For a softer or firmer texture, chill a little longer or a little less. If you want a richer flavor, try a tried-and-true chocolate fudge method for ideas from the best Christmas fudge recipe.
Ingredients :
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup sugar cookie mix
- 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 melted and coming together. 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 well with cooking spray. Transfer fudge to the baking dish and smooth it out in the pan. Press remaining sprinkles into the top of the fudge and chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. Once hardened, remove from the baking dish by lifting the paper out and cut into pieces. 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, or use a fork to drizzle if preferred. Let cool completely and enjoy.

how to store Valentine’s Day Sugar Cookie Fudge Recipe
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If you want it softer, let pieces sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving. You can also freeze the fudge for up to 3 months; wrap pieces tightly in plastic and place in a freezer-safe bag.

- Stir constantly while melting to keep the mixture smooth.
- Use a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl over simmering water to avoid burning.

variation (if any)

- Mix in mini M&M’s or chopped candy canes for extra crunch.

FAQs
Q: Can I use regular chocolate instead of white chocolate chips?
A: Yes, you can use white or regular chocolate, but the flavor will change. Darker chocolate makes a less sweet fudge.
Q: Do I need to use sugar cookie mix?
A: The sugar cookie mix adds cookie flavor and texture. You can try a plain flour and sugar mix, but results may differ.
Q: How do I fix grainy fudge?
A: Grindy fudge often comes from overheating. Heat gently and stir constantly. If grainy, try re-melting with a little extra sweetened condensed milk.
Q: Can I make this without a double boiler?
A: You can melt gently in the microwave in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between each burst until smooth.
