How to Make Monster Cookie Dough Fudge

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1½ cups plain M&M’s (divided into 1 cup and ½ cup)
1 cup plain mini M&M’s (divided into ½ cup and ½ cup)
½ cup salted sweet cream butter (softened)
¼ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup light brown sugar (packed)
2 tablespoons half and half
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
1½ cups good quality white baking chips (I used Ghirardelli brand)
14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk

Directions:

Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly spray it with nonstick spray. Set it aside.
Add the all-purpose flour to a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute. Allow the flour to cool completely. Once cooled, sift the flour to remove any small clumps.
Place 1 cup of the plain M&M’s and ½ cup of the mini M&M’s into quart-size Ziploc bags and freeze them while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, use a handheld mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, half and half, vanilla extract, and salt for about 1½-2 minutes.
Reduce the mixer speed to low, add the sifted flour, and mix just until everything is well incorporated. Set it aside.
In a heat-safe medium-sized bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave them in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until melted and smooth.
Remove the frozen M&M’s from the freezer. Stir the frozen M&M’s into the butter and flour mixture using a wooden spoon.
Spoon the melted white chocolate mixture into the cookie dough and mix just until everything is combined.
Transfer the cookie dough fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining M&M’s and mini M&M’s on top of the fudge, and gently press them into the surface. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Once chilled, remove the fudge from the refrigerator and slice it into 25 squares, 5 pieces across and 5 pieces down.

How to Serve Monster Cookie Dough Fudge

Cut the fudge into squares and serve on a plate or in a fun dessert box. This fudge pairs well with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!

How to Store Monster Cookie Dough Fudge

Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can last up to a week if kept chilled. Just remember to bring it to room temperature before serving to enjoy its delicious texture fully!

Tips to Make Monster Cookie Dough Fudge

Make sure to let the flour cool completely before adding it to the mixture to ensure a smooth fudge.
Experiment with different types of M&M’s or chocolate chips for a twist on flavor.
If you prefer a thicker fudge, use a smaller baking dish.

Variation

You can add chopped nuts or different types of chocolate chips to the fudge for added flavor and texture.

FAQs

1. Can I use different kinds of chocolate chips?
Yes, feel free to use milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips if you prefer a different chocolate flavor.

2. Is it necessary to freeze the M&M’s?
The freezing helps to keep the M&M’s from melting too much into the fudge, but it’s not absolutely necessary. You can add them directly if you wish.

3. Can I make this fudge ahead of time?
Absolutely! This fudge can be made a few days in advance and stored in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve it.
