Servings: 12 pieces
Calories: 393kcal
Ingredients
- 11 ounce bag white chocolate chips
- 14 ounce can condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons salted butter softened at room temperature
- Red or neon pink food coloring
- ½ cup rainbow nonpareils sprinkles
- 1 cup crushed Circus Animal cookies
- Whole Circus Animal Cookies for garnishing
Instructions
- Prepare a 8x8 pan with parchment paper. See notes for tips.
- In a large saucepan, combine chocolate chips, condensed milk and butter over low heat. Cook on low for 8-10 minutes until the mixture breaks down completely. Use a rubber spatula and stir frequently.
- Reduce heat to low and add 2-3 inches of food coloring gel. Mix until fully combined. Add more or keep as is until the desired shade of pink is reached.
- Remove from heat and gently fold in the sprinkles and cookie crumbs. Mix gently with rubber spatula to distribute evenly. Be careful not to overmix, the colors from the sprinkles could run.
- Pour mixture into the center of the 8x8 dish, scraping any excess fudge mixture from the pan using your spatula. The fudge should self level well, requiring zero spreading.
- Top with whole cookies and larger cookie crumbs to create a pretty surface.
- Place inside the refrigerator to chill overnight before serving. See notes for presentation tips.
- When ready to serve, remove the fudge from the 8x8 pan by pulling up on the parchment paper. Use a sharp knife or metal spatula and carefully cut the fudge into 12 equal squares.
Notes
Storage:
- To Store: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
- To Freeze: For longer storage, tightly wrap the fudge with plastic wrap and then place it in an airtight container or freezer-safe plastic bag for up to 3 months.
- As you’re stirring the mixture over the stovetop, use your spatula to break up any pieces of butter that do not melt as easily as others. Do this by gently pressing it with your spatula.
- Be sure to use butter that is softened to room temperature. Butter any cooler will be harder to break down over low heat.
- Make sure to use sweetened condensed milk and not evaporated milk or your fudge will not set up.
- This fudge is best served chilled.
