Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fudge

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fudge #recipe by bunsinmyoven.com

Guys. I know.

You’re thinking fudge is a Christmas thing.

Well, I’m here to tell you that isn’t true. You can make and eat fudge any time of year. I mean, you’re an adult. You make the rules.

I thought this Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fudge from The Cookie Dough Lover’s Cookbook would be pretty much perfect for Valentine’s Day. Or a Tuesday. Or a Sunday. Or a…well, yeah. Any day. I mean, fudge is fudge. Just enjoy it.

You’ll notice this recipe says to use 4 to 5 cups of powdered sugar. The texture of the fudge will change depending on how much sugar you use. If you’d like a firmer fudge that you can serve at room temperature, use the full 5 cups. If you’d like a softer fudge that isn’t quite as sweet, use 4 cups and serve it straight from the fridge.

Yield: 64 1-inch pieces

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 3 hours chil time

Ingredients:

For the cookie dough:
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons half and half
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
For the fudge:
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed

    Can you freeze fudge? (not that it would ever even make it to my freezer before my mouth got a hold of it. YUM…. but just asking…)

    Fudge and cookie dough are two great tastes that definitely taste great together. From the photo it looks like this has an amazing soft, smooth texture. Can’t wait to try it!

    Just made this for a homeschool meeting tomorrow, and WOW, it is FABULOUS! So much so, that I am now going to make a second batch for the fam. I will have to use “regular sized” chocolate chips though. I used up all the mini’s I had on the first batch. I used 5 cups, but it still isn’t very firm. I put it in the freezer to set up better before cutting, and while cutting it it still got pretty soft. So I think I am gonna add a touch more and see how it goes, I don’t want everyone leaving with a cavity. Great recipe and THANK YOU for sharing.

    This recipe is wonderful! Made it first for the fam, and then for Easter. The second time I made it, I cooked the fudge too long and when I added the chips, they melted. Got a nice marbled look though! Anyhow, I posted a photo of my own fudge and a link to this page, on my FB page!

    • Karly — April 19th, 2013 @ 7:21 am

      Half and half is a mixture of light cream and whole milk. You can find it in dairy section. :)
