Easy Preparation: This recipe requires only five ingredients and has fewer than ten steps. It’s no-bake and 100% hassle-free.

Phenomenal Taste: Who doesn’t love creamy white chocolate and spicy cinnamon? It’s a delicate but delicious balance of flavors, just like its cookie namesake.

Ingredients

• White Chocolate Chips: Provide the sweet and creamy base for the fudge. Get top-quality chocolate for the best taste and texture.

• Sweetened Condensed Milk: Thick and sweet, it binds the ingredients together and gives the fudge its chewy consistency. 

• Vanilla Extract: Just a small amount will enhance the fudge’s overall sweetness and warmth. 

• Ground Cinnamon: Essential for creating the signature Snickerdoodle flavor. 

• Granulated Sugar: For the topping. It adds a sweet, crunchy finish that mimics the coating on the classic cookies.

Perfect for holiday gift-giving or treating yourself on a chilly afternoon, these melt-in-your-mouth squares bring comfort in every bite.

5. CHILL in the refrigerator for 2–3 hours until firm.

6. CUT into 1-inch squares using the parchment overhang to remove the fudge. Enjoy!

Tips for the Best Snickerdoodle Fudge

This fudge is super simple to make yet feels so indulgent.

Plus, there’s something magical about how the cinnamon weaves through each bite, making it feel like a little slice of heaven.

Here are a few tips to ensure your fudge turns out fudgetastic every time: 

• Quality matters! Select high-quality white chocolate chips from a brand you enjoy. The cheaper stuff doesn’t melt well or have the same rich flavor. And if you have it, use vanilla paste for the best finish.

• Avoid aluminum foil. I’ve seen a lot of fudge recipes using foil to line the pan. But I’ve always found it sticks. So, use parchment paper.

• Measure precisely. Carefully measure the ingredients, especially the sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips. Any deviation can throw off the balance. 

• Stir constantly. Keep the heat at medium-low and melt the chocolate slowly. Stir the entire time to create a smooth, creamy mixture without scorching it. 

• Microwaving is an option. Warming on the stove is the best and safest method. However, you can use the microwave if you’re in a hurry. Work in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each spin, until smooth. 

• Consider mix-ins. Want to make this fudge extra yummy? Add some chopped Snickerdoodle cookies for texture and decadence. Chopped nuts work nicely, too. 

How to Store

I rarely have leftovers when I dive into no-bake fudge recipes. But now and then, I find a few squares left on the plate.

Here’s what to do if you have some extra:

To Store: Pop the fudge in an airtight container with wax paper between each layer. Refrigerate for 2-3 weeks. 

To Freeze: Wrap the fudge tightly in wax paper. Then, wrap it again in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge for 3-4 hours before serving.
