Easy 3 Ingredient Fudge Recipe (Cookie Cutter Fudge)

Thanks to Nielsen-Massey Vanillas for providing us with a sample in exchange for this post about Easy 3 Ingredient Fudge Recipe.

Well, you might wonder why I suggested in a  previous Halloween Deal post to buy fall cookie cutters on sale. I have filled cookie cutters with an easy 3 ingredient fudge recipe during the Christmas holidays as a Christmas party favor and thought it would also be cute as the adult placeholder/party favor.

I borrowed the idea after seeing $5 chocolate-filled cookie cutters at the stores and thought I could duplicate this and for a lot less.

 

How to Make 3 Ingredient Easy Fudge Recipe

Simply layout your cookie cutters on a cookie sheet lined with a piece of wax paper or parchment. Make your favorite fudge recipe, I just used the recipe on the sweetened condensed milk package.

Quickly fill the cookie cutters with the fudge, you can leave some space from the top to add sprinkles and decorative frosting. Working quickly add any sprinkles you would like now.

We sometimes will use clips to hold down the parchment paper.

Place the cookie tray in the fridge for a couple of hours or per your recipe. Once the fudge is solid you can use decorative frostings to adorn the shape or just leave like it is. Place them in Cellophane bags and tie with a bow or twist tie.

  3. Stir in vanilla extract until combined. Pour fudge into prepared pan/cookie cutters. Let fudge cool completely and either bag the cookie cutters in cellophane or cut the fudge in pans into 1 inch squares.
