Cookies & Cream FudgeWe love fudge at our house and it is an important part of our annual Cookie/Candy Making day.  My mom and mother in law have always been the fudge makers in our house. Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without my mom making her Rocky Road Fudge  and my mother in law is famous for her mint fudge at the holidays.

If you have ever made it before you know it can be a bit tricky.  A few years ago we had an epic fudge fail at our annual Cookie/Candy Making day.  I am not sure if it was the weather or a bad candy thermometer but every batch  failed!  It was so disappointing.  If not cooked at the right temperature it can get gritty and not set up.

This year I decided to forgo the candy thermometer when it came to fudge  making and use a few recipes I found over at the Eagle Brand website.  The best part about these recipes is that there is no candy thermometer required!  They are quick and easy and you are guaranteed a nice smooth fudge every time!  A fail proof fudge recipe.

My first batch was Cookies & Cream.

Cookies & Cream Fudge

I love white chocolate fudge and the addition of some cookies made it even better.  This recipe is so easy!  So easy in fact that there are only 3 ingredients – white chocolate chips, chocolate sandwich cookies and Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed milk!  Actually four – there is a little salt too.

Just combine your white chocolate chips, salt and sweetened condensed milk in a pan and heat on the stop top until the chocolate melts.  Stir until smooth.

Remove from heat and add in crushed cookies.  Pour into prepared pan and allow to chill.

The fudge has amazing flavor and the texture is perfect – smooth.  Just what good fudge should be.

Since the first batch turned out so well and was so yummy I decided to try another batch.  It looked like the Failed Fudge curse had lifted!

The next recipe was also from the Eagle Brand website.  This time I went for a peanut butter and chocolate combination – pretty much a match made in heaven.

This recipe was easy too – just a couple more steps.

Peanut Butter FudgeI melted the peanut butter, white chocolate and part of the sweetened condensed milk in a bowl in the microwave and then stirred in some peanuts.

In another bowl I melted chocolate chips and the remaining sweetened condensed milk.  Alternate spoonfuls of each of the mixtures into a prepared pan and then use a knife to swirl the two together.

Then you top them off with a sprinkling of chopped peanuts.

    It’s dangerous for me to look at all the delicious fudge so early in the morning! They all look so good. The Peanut Butter and Chocolate Fudge especially is calling my name! 🙂

    For the cookies and cream fudge it shows white chocolate chips but in the recipe it says baking squares. Which one do I use?

      Either will work – you can use 1 bag of white chocolate chips instead of the squares.

    These look so yummy! I am making a fudge plates for my husband’s friends and was wondering, does this fudge need to stay refrigerated after it has set up? How long is it safe to stay at room temperature? Thank you for all that you do!

      I would definitely refrigerate the leftovers. I have left it at room temperature for the evening – probably 4-5 hours.

      Although I have never done it fudge can typically be frozen for a couple of weeks. I would think it would work fine.

    I needed a quick and delicious treat I could make for an event tonight. Even with a crying baby and fussy toddler I got the Cookies & Cream one made in ten minutes! And yum! If it tastes as good after it sets up as it did when I licked the spoon we are in business! 😉 Thanks for the recipe!
