In an airtight container at room temperature, this cookie fudge will stay fresh for up to 4 days. You can also keep it in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for up to 1 week.
I always reach for Chips Ahoy! at the grocery store. They’re a childhood favorite of mine, and they work very well with this fudge recipe. However, any brand should be just fine!
Yes, it certainly can be frozen! Chocolate chip cookie fudge will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to serve it, just let it thaw out at room temperature for a few hours, or overnight. A tip – it’s best to freeze the fudge as a whole, then cut it into pieces once it’s thawed.
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- You can add more texture to this fudge recipe by adding chopped walnuts or pecans as a topping. For more fun, you could add a handful of M&M’s!
- To avoid burning the chocolate chip mixture, make sure you’re thoroughly stirring the melted chocolate every 30 seconds. If you microwave it too long without stopping and stirring, the chocolate will burn quickly.
- If you like richer, darker flavors, try using dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate. The result will be a less sweet fudge, but it’ll still be delicious.
The crunch of a sweet chocolate chip cookie with the chewy chocolatey texture of fudge – that sounds like the best dessert ever, to me!

I’m just wondering if you have ever substituted Reese’s PB chips (or generic) for the white chocolate chips in this recipe? If not, how do you think it would work? Chocolate and peanut butter is my weakness.
I haven’t but I LOVE that idea. Those pb chips are my weakness, I always have them in the house as a “snack”….is that wrong?? I think it would taste truly amazing!
