Snickerdoodle Fudge

 Snickerdoodle Fudge is a soft and creamy fudge that is full of the classic snickerdoodle cookie flavors of cinnamon and sugar with the addition of white chocolate. Try my Butter Pecan Fudge for another melt-in-your-mouth fudge.

Snickerdoodle Fudge

Snickerdoodles are old-fashioned cookies that have been around since the late 1800s. I have a snickerdoodles cookie recipe if you are craving that! But, if you want the same cinnamon sugar flavor in fudge, this is the recipe to follow. It’s easy to make, and who doesn’t need another variety of fudge to give as gifts or have around, especially during the holiday season? I also have cookies and cream fudge and sugar cookie fudge that you may want to try.

Snickerdoodle Fudge Ingredients

This recipe is easy to follow and pour into a pan to cool and enjoy. There are a couple of ingredients I want to focus on:

White Chocolate Chips: When it comes to white chocolate, you could use ‘real’ white chocolate (at least 20% cocoa butter) or white chips, or morsels. 

Evaporated Milk: Evaporated milk is milk that has had 60% of the water removed. It can be called ‘unsweetened condensed milk’ (as opposed to sweetened condensed milk, which has added sugar). It is perfect for fudge recipes because it withstands the heat without curdling.

Can I Substitute Sweetened Condensed Milk for Evaporated Milk?

No! Evaporated milk is unsweetened, so in this fudge recipe, it is combined with granulated sugar and other ingredients for the fudge. Do not substitute sweetened condensed milk for evaporated milk; they are not interchangeable. Keep in mind that there are fudge recipes that use sweetened condensed milk (like my Cookie Dough Fudge and Fluffernutter Fudge, just to name a few). But, in those recipes, the same rule applies–do not substitute evaporated milk for sweetened condensed milk.

What is a Candy Thermometer?

A candy thermometer, also known as a deep-fry thermometer or sugar thermometer, is used to measure the temperature of a sugar solution. It is definitely an important tool to have when making candy. Just like using a meat thermometer is important for perfectly cooked meat and measuring cups and spoons are important for measuring ingredients, a candy thermometer has its place in the baking world, for sure!

You can find them in most grocery stores and houseware stores. When you use it, just make sure you don’t immerse the thermometer directly into boiling water or let the bulb hit the bottom of the pan. It really is a game-changer, or should I say candy-changer, for your future sugary recipes.
