- Melt chocolate chips.
Pro Tip: Microwave on high in 3-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Do not overcook the chocolate chips. White chocolate chips especially are easily hardened when melting down. Don’t leave them sitting in one place too long when heating. Be sure to stir every 20-30 seconds for best results.
- Microwave frosting in its container until completely turned to liquid.
Pro Tip: Make sure you remove the lid and every piece of foil from the frosting container. - Stir together frosting, melted chocolate, and sugar cookie mix until well combined.
Pro-Tip: Do not add too much of the sugar cookie mix. You don’t want to dry out your fudge so that it sets up strangely. You only need the dry mix of the sugar cookie mix. You do not need to prepare according the directions on the package. - Pour into the parchment-lined pan and spread until even.
Pro-Tip: Make sure to put a piece of parchment paper in the baking dish before pouring in the fudge. This will make it so much easier to cut the fudge into squares! - Decorate with sprinkle mix.
