What Makes This Fudge Special
You'll fall for this cookie-inspired fudge because it's so easy to whip up, packed with holiday goodness, and dotted with bright, fun sprinkles. It's just what you need to bring some joy to parties, gift sets, or as a little something sweet for your loved ones.
Key Ingredients You'll Need
- White Chocolate Chips: 24 ounces top-quality chips at room temp between 65-70°F (18-21°C), looking shiny without any white spots. Go for name brands for better melting.
- Sugar Cookie Mix: 17.5 ounces of dry mix kept somewhere cool under 75°F (24°C). Make sure the package isn't open and the mix doesn't have lumps or feel damp.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: 14 ounces or one regular can at room temperature, give it a good shake first. Double-check it's not expired and the can looks good.
- Butter: 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, soft at room temp 65-70°F (18-21°C), diced into small ½-inch chunks so it melts evenly.
- Christmas Sprinkles: ½ cup holiday-themed sprinkles stored under 75°F (24°C) so the colors don't run. Stick with sprinkle types that won't melt away as the fudge sets.
How To Make It
- Get Everything Ready
- Put parchment in a 9×9-inch pan with edges hanging over by 2 inches. Give it a light spray with cooking spray at 70°F (21°C). Have all your stuff measured and tools out before you start.
- Mix The Main Stuff
- Warm the condensed milk in a good pot on medium-low (around 300°F/149°C) until it hits 110°F (43°C). Toss in your white chocolate and butter, and keep stirring with a soft spatula until everything's melted smooth at 115°F (46°C).
- Add The Cookie Mix
- Take the pot off the heat. Slowly mix in the cookie mix until you can't see any dry spots. The mix should be thick but still easy to spread at 110-115°F (43-46°C). Gently stir in ¼ cup of sprinkles without overmixing.
- Finish It Off
- Pour everything into your pan within 5 minutes after mixing. Flatten the top with a flat spatula. Right away, scatter the rest of your sprinkles on top. Pop it in the fridge at 40°F (4°C) for at least 4 hours until it feels totally firm when you touch it.
Keeping It Fresh
You can keep your holiday fudge in a sealed container at room temp for about a week. Want it to last longer? Stick it in the fridge in an airtight box for up to 3 weeks. It's great to make early for holiday parties or gifts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- → Why should the cookie mix be heated?
Flour in the mix can carry bacteria. To make it safe, heat to 165°F. Use a microwave or oven, and it just takes a few minutes.
- → Can I change the sprinkles?
Of course! Go with rainbow sprinkles for birthdays, or softer pastel ones if you're making it for Easter or springtime.
- → How long does this keep fresh?
In a sealed container at room temperature, it lasts about a week. If you need longer, you can refrigerate it for up to three weeks.
- → Can I skip the cookie mix?
The cookie mix gives that distinct flavor, but you can switch it out with powdered sugar and vanilla. The taste will change, though!
- → What if my fudge isn't firm enough?
Double-check the amounts and cool time! The mixture needs at least 2 hours in the fridge to firm up completely.
