Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

White Chocolate Chips

White chocolate chips form the creamy, sweet foundation of the fudge. They melt smoothly and contribute a luscious richness that defines the texture.

Sweetened Condensed Milk

Sweetened condensed milk creates the velvety body of the fudge and helps it set without becoming grainy. Its sweetness blends seamlessly with the white chocolate.

Sugar Cookie Mix

Using sugar cookie mix infuses the fudge with classic sugar-cookie flavour while adding structure. It brings warmth, nostalgia, and a subtle buttery taste.

Butter

Melted butter enhances richness and contributes to the fudge’s smooth consistency.

Vanilla Extract

Vanilla extract deepens the sugar-cookie notes, adding aroma and balancing the overall sweetness.

Salt

A pinch of salt keeps the flavours from becoming overly sweet and brings harmony to the fudge.

White Sprinkles

Festive white sprinkles add a snowy appearance and gentle crunch, giving the fudge its “snowfall” charm.

Directions

Begin by lining an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving slight overhangs on the sides for easy removal later. In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Heat over low to medium-low, stirring constantly to ensure even melting and to avoid scorching. Continue stirring until the mixture becomes perfectly smooth.

Reduce the heat slightly and gradually mix in the dry sugar cookie mix. Stir thoroughly to eliminate lumps and to help the mixture thicken. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, blending until the fudge becomes glossy and uniform. Remove the saucepan from the heat.

Quickly transfer the warm fudge mixture to the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Add white sprinkles across the surface to create a snowy effect, pressing gently so they adhere. Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set. Once firm, lift the fudge out using the parchment overhang and cut it into neat squares.
