Frosting Fudge
This is a 2 ingredient fudge that is originally from a Betty Crocker cookbook. You can change this up any way you like by adding flavorings to the fudge, adding candies, cookies, trail mix, etc.
Ingredients
- 1 can frosting, (16 oz / 454 g)

Instructions
Basic Instructions
- Line an 8x8 baking pan with foil.
- Add the chocolate chips to a heatproof mixing bowl, microwave on full power for 30 seconds, take the bowl out of the microwave. This softens them up.

With Cookies
- To add cookies to the fudge, place 10 cookies (think store bought, like Oreo's or chocolate chip cookies, in the fridge for about 10 minutes to chill, then chop and divide. Once the frosting and chocolate chips are mixed, stir in half of the chopped cookies, pour into the pan and top with the remaining chopped cookies.
With Flavoring
- To add a flavoring, such as peppermint, which works very well, simply mix in 1 teaspoon after the frosting and chips are mixed.

Prepare the base recipe, once the chips are melted and mixed in then add the kit-kat pieces from the bowl, stir until just coated.
