Yes, really. If that doesn't stop you dead in your tracks, then I don't think you're human. This is serious stuff. I have a family recipe that I use for standard fudge, but I like making fun and unique variations as well - peanut butter, pumpkin pie, and white chocolate have all been well-received in the past. But I'm pretty sure this one surpasses them all.
This comes together pretty easily, and honestly the hardest part is waiting for it to set up! The fudge was smooth and creamy, with the perfect cookie dough flavor. This was my test batch, and it passed with flying colors - I'll definitely be including this candy in my holiday baskets. The only change I'll make is to use mini chocolate chips instead of the full-sized ones. I just think it will look cuter, and be a little bit easier to eat.
So head into your kitchen and make these now. You definitely won't regret it.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fudge
barely adapted from Sweet Confections, via Bake at 350
- 1 3/4 c. sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 c. milk
- 1 Tbs corn syrup
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 2 Tbs unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
In a 3-quart saucepan, combine the sugars, cream, milk, corn syrup and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 242 degrees (ie the soft-ball stage). Remove from heat and stir in the butter, vanilla, and flour.
Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch casserole dish, and allow to cool until it reaches 110 degrees, 10 to 20 minutes.
Use a large spoon to scrape the mixture in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat at medium speed until the fudge thickens and holds its shape, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the fudge to the prepared 8x8 inch dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top, pressing them lightly into the fudge.
Allow to set at least 2 hours. If it's not setting up, cover and refrigerate for a few hours. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container.

Seriously, that looks amazing and I can't wait to try it!
This could be a problem...
This sounds so yummy!! Fudge is my favorite treat, and I find bloggers don't make enough of it, because I rarely see different kinds other than peanut butter or chocolate! I can't wait to try this!
Get in my mouth!
This is beyond gorgeous and sounds amazing!! Totally going on my Christmas candy list :)
I've been looking for just the right treat to round out my tins this year. BINGO! Thanks, Josie!
I could totally go for a piece right now!
Wow! Totally stopped me in my tracks :) Sounds pretty perfect for holiday snacking!
oh wow! this sounds so good! i love the color of the fudge too :)
I love this!! I think I would try it with the mini-chocolate chips. Maybe even a half batch with some toasted walnuts... Mmmmm
Josie, these sound wonderful. I love to visit your blog and I never leave empty handed. I always have a recipe or tip to add to my kitchen cache. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary

Um, wow? This looks incredible!
I'm coming over! haha, this looks really decadent! Perfect for Christmas! There's room for naughty treats right!?
holy.smokes.
wow.
just saw this on FG. I like the way you think. And bake!
My brother might just forgive me for becoming a vegetarian if I make this for him. Thanks Josie!
I don't have a stand mixer. Think I can get away with mixing by hand?
Andie, do you have a hand mixer? If so, then I think that would work. I'm not sure if you could get enough air into it using just a whisk since it is pretty thick, but you could try!
Ooo....yours turned out so much prettier than mine!!! :) PS...love your pretty pick blog! ♥ Thanks for the shout-out!
No way, Bridget! Thanks for the wonderful recipe - I love your blog! :)
Whoa, I'm pretty sure I would have no self control around this at all! This looks amazing!
I'm definitely making this with my gramma tomorrow. Thank you for sharing! This looks DELICIOUS!
Holy smokes, this looks unfathomably good! I will be attempting to make it this weekend!
Ooooh, this looks fantastic! :D
I followed the instructions to a T and it will not turn to fudge. It is looks and feels like moon sand. I can't figure out what I did incorrectly.
Is your thermometer callibrated properly? Try putting it in the fridge for a few hours to see if it will set up. H
Good luck!
The title stopped me dead in my tracks! Wow wow wow. Must.make.now. Thanks Josie for the wonderful recipe :)!
And with this post my dilemma of what dessert to take to the work potluck next week is solved. This looks AMAZING!
Just tried this - with out a candy thermometer. My attempt isn't perfect but it's still amazing!
I normally do everything by hand, including my mixer since I don't have a stand mixer. Is this going to hinder my fudge?
Hi Melissa, do you have a hand mixer? I would imagine that you could use that, but since I've never tried it, I can't say for sure. There's only one way to find out though!
This looks so good!! My new favorite Christmas treat!
This was my first time making fudge. Saw the recipe and I HAD to try it! I didn't have a stand mixer so I mixed it by hand, that's what they did "back in the day" anyway so I figured it couldn't hurt. Turned out DELICIOUS! I did had to set it in the fridge to set but nothing wrong with that. Thanks for the recipe!
Thank you so much for providing such a information. It has a big help for me. Hope to see more info updated.I must bookmark this article!
Pumpkin fudge? That sounds interesting too. Will you share the recipe? My daughter-in-law just sent me this recipe for the cookie dough fudge. I am going to try it before Christmas next year. Can't wait!
Followed directions exactly and it came out rock hard, couldn't even get to the mixing stage because as it cooled it turned into a brick. Any suggestions?
I had the exact same experience as Anonymous from 10:27 yesterday when I tried this recipe last night. I could tell as I was stirring in the flour (after adding butter and vanilla) that it was already getting too thick. Then, when it cooled it became hard and crumbly. I had to just break it up into chunks and throw it out. It was like the flour didn't belong in the recipe and the whole thing seized up.
What could I have done wrong? I might have let it get a little over 242, maybe to 245, by the time I took it off the heat. Also, I live at a high altitude (about 4800 ft). Could that make a difference?
It sounds like both of you let it get above 242. Are you thermometers calibrated? I'm not familiar with high-altitude baking, so I have no idea if that would affect this recipe at all. Sorry it didn't turn out for you guys! :-(
Hi Phyllis,
This is the recipe I use for pumpkin fudge: http://annies-eats.com/2008/10/17/pumpkin-pie-fudge/
are you supposed to use light brown sugar? the fudge in the picture looks so light!
Just mixed this up. It tastes AMAZING! Can't wait to see how it looks after it sets up. I used the recipe exactly as is and mixed in a kitchen aid mixer. I wasn't sure what it was supposed to look like, so I hope I mixed long enough/ not too long.
Oh my goodness! These look delicious! I have to make these :)
Can you put these in the freezer?
I've never tried it, so I'm not sure.
As a person who is challenged yet often frustrated by the art of fudge making, I can confirm that the reason fudge turns hard is letting it go above the temp. One to two degrees is enough to ruin it.
I made these and they were delicious! Everybody loved them. Thank you. The only thing I would change is to cut it before putting the chocolate chips on because it is sorta difficult with them. Other than that it was super easy even without a thermometer and a high altitude it turned out just fine!
Looked so good I just had to make it! The only thing I would change although is a little less flour and about a 1/4 cup of butter. I found it to be very dry when I put it in the mixing bowl. Hope this helps!
:p want those
Trying to convert to metric system. The 1 3/4 c. Sugar and 3/4 c. Milk, does this also refer to cups? Thanks
Imma unicorn hahahahaha
would this freeze well?
Alexandra, I haven't tried freezing it, and don't have much knowledge on freezing candy, so I have no idea! Try a few pieces and see how it turns out!
just made this and it's AMAZING! I folded in 2/3 of the mini chocolate chips and put the remaining 1/3 on top. It's perfect.
I simply wanted to thank you a lot more for your amazing website you have developed here. It can be full of useful tips for those who are actually interested in this specific subject, primarily this very post. Your all so sweet in addition to thoughtful of others and reading the blog posts is a great delight in my opinion.
