This creamy fudge tastes like spiced cookies in fudge form. You only need 2 ingredients and it is easy to make. You don’t even need a candy thermometer to make it. The fudge is fun to eat and great for gifting.
I love eating spiced cookies this time of year, especially speculoos cookies which are crunchy spiced biscuit cookies. This fudge combines the best of both. The fudge is creamy, smooth and has all the flavors of crunchy spiced biscuit cookies.
Ingredients
- Cookie butter
- Semisweet chocolate chips
Cookie butter: Cookie butter is a spread that is made with spiced biscuit cookies. The most well known version is Biscoff spread but there are other brands and generic store brand versions of this spread. Cookie butter is the key to getting all the flavor and texture of speculoos cookies into this fudge while also making the fudge extra creamy. The cookie crumbs contained in the cookie butter also stay crunchy as well.
Semisweet chocolate chips: This recipe works best with semisweet chocolate chips. I did test white chocolate chip and milk chocolate chip versions and they were not as creamy or didn’t set well.
I also crumbled a speculoos cookie on top to help show what type of fudge this is but it is completely optional. You get enough of the cookie texture in the cookie butter spread.
How to Make Cookie Fudge
- The chocolate chips and cookie butter are first melted together until the chocolate is smooth. The fudge is then transferred to a parchment lined loaf pan. If you want to add any garnishes or decorations, sprinkle them on.
- Then place the fudge into the freezer until set. Once set, let the fudge come to room temperature before cutting and serving.
Expert Tips
- This recipe works best with semisweet chocolate chips. I tried it with white chocolate chips and the fudge was too firm and crumbly when cut. Milk chocolate chips will cause the fudge to be too soft.
- You don’t need to mix actual cookie pieces into the fudge to get a cookie texture. Cookie butter already has cookie crumbs mixed in that maintain their crunchy texture.
- I recommend using a creamy cookie butter spread. Some brands make both crunchy and creamy versions. Crunchy versions have larger pieces of cookie crumbs in the spread which will make it more difficult for to get a melted smooth fudge mixture.
- This recipe can be doubled and made in an 8 inch square pan if you want to make a larger amount.

2 Ingredient Cookie Fudge
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups (205 g) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (127 g) cookie butter spread I used Biscoff creamy cookie butter spread
Instructions
- Line the bottom of an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- Add semisweet chocolate chips and cookie butter spread to a large microwave safe mixing bowl. Heat in 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between with a spatula until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and uniform in color.
- Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan. If desired, you can crumble a speculoos cookie on top for garnish.
- Place fudge into the freezer until set (mine took about 30 minutes but timing can vary depending on the freezer and ingredient brands used). You can also place the fudge into the fridge until set but this will take longer. The fudge is ready when it feels firm to the touch. Bring the fudge to room temperature before cutting with a sharp knife. Store uneaten fudge in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Avoid using semisweet chocolate chips that don't contain any dairy or dairy substitute. Brands like Enjoy Life will not work well for this recipe.
- I used Biscoff cookie butter spread but there are many other brands of cookie butter spread available.
- Some brands make both a creamy and a crunchy version. I recommend choosing the creamy version, otherwise it will be difficult to create a smooth, melted fudge base.
- I used Nestle semisweet chocolate chips (Amazon | Target | Walmart)* and Biscoff creamy cookie butter spread (Amazon | Target | Walmart)* to make this fudge.
