How to make M and M Cookie Dough Fudge
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 and 1/2 cups plain M and Ms, divided
- 1 cup plain mini M and Ms, divided
- 1/2 cup salted sweet cream butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons half and half
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 and 1/2 cups good quality white baking chips (e.g., Ghirardelli brand)
- 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk
Directions:
- Start your adventure by lining an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper and giving it a light spray of nonstick spray. Your stage is set!
- Take a moment to microwave your all-purpose flour in a small bowl for 1 minute, letting it cool completely before sifting. This is your secret ingredient to unlocking that soft, irresistible cookie dough flavor.
- While the flour cools, chill out your taste buds by freezing 1 cup of regular M and Ms and 1/2 cup of mini M and Ms in Ziploc bags. Think of it as giving your sweets a little frosty spa day!
- In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, half and half, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat this delightful mix for 1 to 2 minutes — the fluffier, the better!
- Gradually reduce the mixer speed and add the cooled flour mixture until perfectly blended. Your dough is coming to life!
- Meanwhile, in another bowl, bring a bit of magic to the mic by melting your white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in the microwave until smooth—yes, you can practically hear angels singing.
- Stir those frosty M and Ms into your butter mixture to awaken the flavor fiesta. Next, fold in your creamy white chocolate concoction until you’ve got a glorious blend.
- Spoon this fudgey dream into the prepared dish, sprinkle with the remaining M and Ms, and press them in gently to add a pop of color to your masterpiece.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, letting all those magical flavors mingle. Once set, slice your sweet concoction into 25 delightful squares. Voilà! You can now bask in your culinary glory! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for even longer storage, if you can resist!
