So yesterday was Thanksgiving. *I’ll make this fast*

I don’t know about you, but I’m stuffed. Except there’s still magically enough room in my stomach for dessert.

Umm, duh! ALWAYS.

I made this fudge last week and #cantstopwontstop thinking about it. Ever since I made these Soft and Chewy Gingerbread Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting I’ve been dreaming about the cookie dough. Because don’t all regular people dream about eating bowls full of cookie dough?

Don’t answer that.

Anyways, it got me thinking about  how I could incorporate more cookie dough into my daily diet when a few minutes later, this blessed fudge idea entered my frontal lobe of my food loving brain and I haven’t looked back since.

This fudge is made in the microwave and is done and in the pan in less than 10 minutes. It tastes like my favorite gingerbread cookie dough, except harder because I refrigerate it and chewier because it’s fudge. Overall, it’s an amazing and simple holiday treat to add to your cookie trays you give to the neighbors {or hoard for yourself}. No judgement.

Here’s how you make it:  Start by melting some white chocolate and molasses into  some sweetened condensed milk.I just popped mine into the microwave and melted it together, stirring every 30 seconds.Now you can stir in all the dry ingredients: flour powdered sugar and spices.
This mixture will be pretty thick! Make sure you whip it good so it’s nice and smooth.Pour it into a greased 8×8 glass dish and let it harden. You can either keep it on the counter to harden for a few hours OR throw it into the fridge and eat it sooner! Holla! That’s obviously what I did.Cut it into some squares and dig in!Chewy like cookie dough, but sweet like fudge. You MUST give this a whirl this holiday season. You will DIE.
