Cookie. Butter. Fudge.

Rich, creamy, delectable, mouthwatering, fudge that only takes 10 minutes to make! Super easy, the hardest part will be waiting for it to cool! #fudge #cookiebutter #easyfudge frostingandfettuccine.com

I don’t know what took me so long to find out about cookie butter. I know there was all that rage (thats apparently still going on) about Nutella, but I never got on board with that because of my nut allergy. So I always felt left out and just rolled my eyes while everyone was Nutella-ing it up. Then in comes this new thing called cookie butter- read about it in all my cooking mags, saw it all over insta, but when I went to search for it in store, I could not find any brand that was kosher. I find out from a friend that some kosher supermarkets sell it because they import it from Israel.

Cut to me racing to a store to find it, only to see that it is $11 dollars for a peanut butter sized jar. Cursing under my breath I sucked it up and took it home.

Jar open, spoon in hand, I went in for a dip and OMG, it was like a EUREKA MOMENT with angels singing in the background. It seriously tastes like hearts and rainbows and cookies and everything that is good in this life blended up together into one $11 jar of happiness. Worth it.

So I started thinking, obviously I can just eat the whole thing with just a spoon, but what else can I do with this? I created a cookie butter biscotti recipe, that if you follow me on Instagram (do it), you saw it over and over, and I do plan on posting it here eventually, but I sent it into a magazine to see if they would publish it first. I should probably follow up that also because that was 6 weeks ago.

ANYWAYS to get back to this cookie butter story, another friend heard me spewing my love/hate relationship with cookie butter because its so damn expensive and goes, you know they sell that at Walmart for less than $3 right? WHATTTTTTTTTTTT. So heart racing, into the car I went again (yes I will drop anything for cookie butter) and rush to get there, find the cookie butter (in creamy and crunchy style!) and cleared out the shelf. No shame included.

Now after Ive calmed down a little bit, and with all my cookie butter booty- Im finding new, fun, and easy ways to incorporate it into desserts. Like this fudge!

This is basically a treat y’oself dessert/candy. It is NOT diet food. It is- I am an awesome person, and I deserve a treat, so I will make myself this fudge and feel like a total goddess food. It is worth every. single. calorie.

It takes 10 actual minutes to make and then has to chill in the fridge for a little bit, and then- INDULGE.

Rich, creamy, delectable, mouthwatering, instant happiness fudge.

    I made this today and couldn’t get the fudge to set after leaving in the fridge for about 2 hours and then in the freezer for 30 minutes. I taste delicious, but it’s more like a sauce than actual fudge. I tried adding a little bit of evaporated milk to the mixture and reheating it in the microwave to cook it a little longer. I’m now leaving it in the fridge overnight to see if it’s salvageable.

    I have a feeling the mixture needs to be cooked significantly longer in step #4, not just until the butter is melted and ingredients are blended. After looking at other fudge recipes, I’m thinking it probably needs to be cooked until the mixture thickens more.

#ALDILove
Prep time: 1 hr 45 mins
Cook time: 1 min
Yield: 40 donut fries
2 pack Baker’s Corner Active Dry Yeast
1 1/2 cup warm water
1/3 cup Sugar
2 Simply Nature Grade A Organic Cage Free Brown Eggs
2 tbsp Stonemill Pure Vanilla Extract
1/3 cup Carlini Pure Vegetable Oil
5-6 cups Baker’s Corner All Purpose Flour
1 tsp Kosher salt
½ cup Baker’s Corner Powdered Sugar
For Dipping:
1 cup Baker’s Corner Dark or Milk Chocolate Morsels
Simply Nature Organic Raspberry Preserves
Method:
•Mix the yeast with water in a mixer bowl and let stand for 10 mins until frothy. Add the
sugar, eggs, vanilla, and oil to the bowl and mix until well combined.
•Start adding only 5 cups of flour and salt, and knead/mix on medium speed in a stand mixer
fitted with the dough attachment for 5 minutes until a soft, non-sticky dough forms. If the
dough seems sticky, add ¼ cup flour to the dough until it no longer sticks to the bowl when
mixing.
•Let the dough rest in the bowl for an hour to double in size. 
•Punch down the dough and remove it from the bowl onto a lightly floured surface. Using a
lightly floured rolling pin, roll it out into a rectangle. About 18”x 15” and 1/2 of an inch in
thickness. 
•Using a pizza cutter, cut in half vertically. Then slice thin strips horizontally. You want them
thin as they will puff up while frying.
•Let the fries rest for another 15 mins. 
•Meanwhile, using a deep fryer or a large pot, heat your oil to 350 degrees F. Fry the donut
fries 30 seconds per side, then drain on a paper towel.
•Dust the donut fries with powdered sugar and set aside.
•Microwave 1 cup of dark or milk chocolate for 30 seconds at a time until melted. Scoop
jelly into another bowl. Dip the fries in the chocolate or jelly!
