You can whip up a whole pan while wearing pajamas and listening to Christmas music. It’s quick, foolproof, and instantly festive.
Customize to Match Any Holiday Theme
One of the most charming parts? You can dress this fudge up any way you like.

Microwave Sugar Cookie Fudge
Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

- Melt in the good stuff: white chocolate chips, butter, vanilla and almond extract
- Microwave in 15–20 second bursts, stirring each time, until fully melted and glossy.
