So, let’s dive into this holiday delight!
Ingredient Substitutions
White chocolate chips can be replaced with milk or dark chocolate chips for a different flavor profile, or carob chips for a caffeine-free alternative. Use the same amount as called for in the recipe. For a dairy-free option, coconut butter or cacao butter can be used, though the texture may be slightly different.
Sugar cookie mix can be substituted with a homemade blend of 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder. This allows for more control over ingredients and can be easily adapted for gluten-free diets by using almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
Sweetened condensed milk can be replaced with a dairy-free alternative made from full-fat coconut milk and sugar, simmered until thickened. For a lower-sugar option, use unsweetened condensed milk and add extra sweetener to taste. These substitutions may slightly alter the fudge’s texture and setting time.

Ingredients
- 24 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1 1/4 cup sugar cookie mix (such as betty crocker’s)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
- Festive sprinkles
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Pan
Begin by lining a 9-inch x 9-inch pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Ensure the edges are well covered so that the fudge can be easily lifted out once set.
Set the prepared pan aside for later use.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate Mixture
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, cookie mix, and milk.
Heat the mixture in the microwave on high for 30 seconds.
Carefully stir the mixture well and continue heating for another 30 seconds.
Stir again, and if necessary, heat for additional 30 seconds, stopping at 15-second intervals to stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Take care not to overcook as this can cause the chocolate to seize up.
Step 3: Incorporate Sprinkles
Once the chocolate mixture is smooth and fully melted, stir in about 2 tablespoons of sprinkles.
Mix them in evenly to distribute the sprinkles throughout the fudge.
Then, transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.
Step 4: Top with Sprinkles and Set
Sprinkle additional sprinkles over the top of the fudge.
Use clean hands to lightly press the sprinkles into the surface of the fudge, ensuring they adhere well to the top.
Once done, place the pan in the refrigerator.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until it has set and is firm.
Once firm, remove the fudge from the pan and cut it into small, manageable serving pieces.
Serve at room temperature and enjoy your homemade chocolate fudge!
