Nutritional Information

While Cookie Dough Fudge is undeniably a treat, it's essential to enjoy it in moderation. Each square offers a delightful combination of sugars and fats, contributing to its rich flavor. However, it’s packed with ingredients that bring together the best of both worlds: the indulgence of fudge and the comforting taste of cookie dough. A small piece can satisfy your sweet tooth without derailing your diet.

If you're looking for ways to make this treat a bit healthier, consider substituting some of the sugars with natural sweeteners or using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. These small adjustments can enhance the nutritional profile while keeping the taste delicious.

Variations to Try

Feel free to customize your Cookie Dough Fudge to suit your taste preferences. You can add nuts, like walnuts or pecans, for an extra crunch. Alternatively, try incorporating different flavored chips, such as white chocolate or peanut butter chips, to create unique flavor combinations that tantalize your taste buds.

For a fun twist, consider adding a swirl of caramel or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before chilling. This will enhance the flavor and add an unexpected layer of deliciousness that will keep everyone guessing what makes your fudge so special.
