Ingredients

Scale

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 to create a smooth base for the dough.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the milk and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Flour and Salt: Gradually incorporate the heat-treated flour and a pinch of salt, stirring until the dough forms and comes together evenly.
  4. Fold in M&Ms: Gently fold in 1/2 cup of mini M&Ms to evenly distribute them within the cookie dough. Set aside for layering.
  5. Prepare the Fudge Layer: In a medium saucepan, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the white chocolate melts completely and the mixture is smooth.
  6. Add Vanilla: Remove the fudge mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to enhance flavor.
  7. Line Baking Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal of the fudge later.
  8. Layer Cookie Dough: Press the prepared cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the lined baking pan, forming a firm base layer.
  9. Add Fudge Layer: Pour the warm white chocolate fudge mixture over the cookie dough layer and spread it evenly for smooth coverage.
  10. Top with M&Ms: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup mini M&Ms on top of the fudge while it’s still warm, gently pressing them into the surface to adhere.
  11. Chill: Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
  12. Serve: Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the pan and cut into squares for serving.

Notes

  • Heat-treating flour is recommended to eliminate any potential bacteria since this dough is not baked.
  • Make sure to use unsalted butter to control the salt content in the recipe.
  • The fudge must be stirred constantly to prevent scorching and to achieve a smooth texture.
  • Allow the fudge to cool slightly before adding the top layer of M&Ms to ensure they stick well without melting.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
