Description

This M&M Cookie Dough Fudge recipe combines the nostalgic flavors of cookie dough with rich, creamy white chocolate fudge, studded with colorful mini M&Ms for a fun and indulgent treat. Perfect for parties or gifting, this no-bake layered dessert features a buttery cookie dough base topped with smooth white chocolate fudge and sprinkled with M&Ms for added texture and color.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated for safety)
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup mini M&Ms

Fudge Layer

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini M&Ms (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Make the Cookie Dough: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This creates a creamy base for the cookie dough layer.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined, enhancing the flavor and texture.
  3. Add Flour and Salt: Gradually mix in the heat-treated flour and a pinch of salt, stirring carefully until the dough forms a cohesive, soft mixture safe to eat raw.
  4. Fold in M&Ms: Gently fold the mini M&Ms into the cookie dough to distribute them evenly throughout the dough. Set this mixture aside.
  5. Prepare the Fudge Layer: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly to melt the chocolate smoothly without burning.
  6. Cook Until Smooth: Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture is completely melted and has a glossy, smooth texture, perfect for pouring.
  7. Add Vanilla: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to infuse the fudge with rich flavor.
  8. Prepare Baking Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the edges to easily lift the fudge out later.
  9. Form Cookie Dough Layer: Press the prepared cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the lined baking pan, creating a uniform layer as the base of the fudge.
  10. Pour Fudge Over Dough: Pour the warm white chocolate fudge evenly over the cookie dough layer, spreading gently to cover the entire surface.
  11. Add Topping M&Ms: Sprinkle the remaining mini M&Ms on top of the fudge layer while it’s still warm, pressing them lightly to ensure they stick to the surface.
  12. Chill the Fudge: Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes to set slightly, then transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours until firm.
  13. Cut and Serve: Once the fudge is fully set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it from the pan. Cut into 16 squares and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the flour is heat-treated to make the cookie dough safe for no-bake consumption.
  • Use parchment paper with overhang to easily remove the fudge from the pan without sticking.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness for up to one week.
  • For added texture and flavor, you can substitute some mini M&Ms with chopped nuts.
  • This recipe is best served chilled but can be kept at room temperature for short periods before serving.
