Cookies & Cream Chocolate Fudge is a decadent, rich, and uniquely flavored dessert combination that you didn’t know you needed.
There are just a few ingredients and a short prep time for delicious fudge!
KISSES® Cookies & Cream Chocolate Fudge
For many years now, I’ve made cookie and candy trays for the holidays for my neighbors and friends. It’s just I tradition I began as a nod to a neighbor of mine when I was growing up. She brought my family a tray of cookies and fudge every year. Even though my mom made holiday treats, there was something about getting that tray once a year that was so special.
You’ll also enjoy this chocolate dip with cocoa powder for holiday parties.
I typically include fudge as well as cookies and snack mix in the treat trays.
The addition of Hershey Kisses in fudge not only makes it a perfect recipe for a treat tray but also introduces a fun pop of color and a wonderful contrast in texture.

Holidays are stressful enough without having to stress about making a dessert or food gift. This recipe is a make-ahead treat that’s simple. It’s always appreciated by the recipient!
I want to give someone a special memory, so I make the cookie and candy trays. It takes me almost all day to make and package the candy then the boys deliver the trays.

Here’s what you’ll need
The full recipe with ingredient amounts and instructions is at the bottom of this post. You can save a tree and the recipe to your personal and private recipe box here on Call Me PMc. This way, you’ll never misplace it.
- 18 ounces milk or dark chocolate candy melts or chocolate chips. You can mix dark, semi sweet, and milk chocolate if you prefer.
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk. You can use low-fat or fat-free for this recipe.
- 1 cup KISSES® Cookies & Cream chocolate coarsely chopped. Or any chocolate candy or kisses that you like.
- 1 cup chocolate wafers, chocolate graham crackers, or pretzels coarsely broken.
I include fudge because it’s so very easy to make and almost everyone loves fudge. Just be conscious of adding nuts to treats you share. It’s always a good idea to put a brief ingredient list or disclaimer if you add an ingredient that a lot of people are allergic to.

KISSES® Cookies & Cream Chocolate Fudge
Ingredients
- 18 ounces chocolate candy melts or chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup KISSES® Cookies & Cream chocolate coarsely chopped
- 1 cup chocolate graham crackers or chocolate cookies, coarsely broken
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a double boiler, add chocolate and milk. Bring water to a boil and melt chocolate. Stir constantly. When chocolate is completely melted and smooth, remove from heat.
- Stir in chocolate wafers. Fold in KISSES® Cookies & Cream chocolate. Pour into prepared 8×8 pan and smooth top.
- Chill for at least two hours. You can chill in the refrigerator or counter, just allow it plenty of time to set and become firm. Fudge slices better when it cold, but you may want to bring it to room temperature to serve. (I personally like it room temperature, but my husband prefers it cold! )

Pinning Paula! So rich and delicious! I am going to have to start running if I make these! 🙂
It’s too easy not to make! I never liked making fudge until this recipe 🙂
Can these be shipped to family members out of state and keep well?
They are very sturdy. I would leave the cookies out because that’s the only thing that crumbles. Also, if you could not cut them, they won’t dry out as much. Great idea!
🙂 Thanks!!
OMG YES!! SO much yes! I am pinning this fudge right now so I can make some for my bday later this month! I love it, and it caught my eye at the “I Should be Mopping the Floor” party–I had to stop by!
I would love it if you stopped by our Facebook page, and said “hello!”
Your fan,

Hi Paula,
I have got to try these! It’s so sweet that you give your lucky neighbours such a thoughtful gift, too!
Hugs and, of course, kisses,
Linda
It’s my tradition, as well for the neighborhood! Ever since I saw these on IG…I simply can’t get them out of my mind! So creative, my friend!
It’s so freaking easy. I mix in whatever random bags of cookies or candy I have lying around most of the time. Leftover Halloween candy would be great! Well, if you had leftover halloween candy…
That is so nice that you are continuing the cookie tray tradition, it can definitely brighten up somebody’s holidays when they receive baked goods made from the heart 🙂 This fudge looks incredible Paula, I love how easy it is to make too! The cookies and cream is a great addition, it gives the fudge such a pretty color and flavor. Pinning and hope you have a wonderful week and Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you for your sweet words, Kelly. I do enjoy making food for others. Thanks for pinning this recipe. Have a wonderful holiday too!!
Very nice, easy recipe that I’m sure is luscious! Thanks Paula! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family..
Deb
Thank you so much, Hope you guys have a happy Thanksgiving as well!
Yum, Paula! I love fudge and these cookies and cream KISSES really kick it up a notch.
I’ve had fun candy making and cookie baking already this season! Now, if I can just get in the mood to decorate!
