Instructions
Prepare the Fudge Mixture:
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal of the fudge once it’s set.
- Melt the Chocolate and Butter: In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips and butter. Melt over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until smooth and fully melted.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk and Extracts: Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) into the melted chocolate mixture. Stir until well combined and smooth.
- Incorporate the Sugar Cookie Mix: Gradually fold in the sugar cookie mix. Continue stirring until it’s fully blended into the fudge mixture.
- Add Sprinkles: Gently fold in about half of the colorful sprinkles, saving the rest to sprinkle on top of the fudge.
Set the Fudge:
- Pour into the Pan: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Add the Remaining Sprinkles: Sprinkle the remaining sprinkles on top of the fudge, pressing down gently to ensure they stick.
- Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 50 minutes or until firm. For faster setting, place the fudge in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
Slice and Serve:
- Cut into Squares: Once the fudge is firm, use the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan. Cut into small squares and serve.
