Oatmeal-Raisin Cookie Fudge

This white chocolate-based fudge is reminiscent of an oatmeal raisin cookie, with hints of spice, toasted oats, walnuts, and of course, plump raisins. Be prepared for an upper body workout! This fudge is quite thick to mix after adding in the white chocolate chips and additional ingredients! It helps to have all your ingredients measured out before starting, so you can work quickly, as the fudge sets up fast. Store extras in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup chopped walnuts
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ cup raisins (Optional)
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup rolled oats
• ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons coarse granulated sugar
• ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
• 2 tablespoons raisins (Optional)
• 2 (12 ounce) packages white chocolate chips (such as Ghirardelli®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Line a 9-inch baking pan with enough parchment paper to have an overhang on all sides. Set aside.

Step 2

Whisk cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, salt, cloves, and allspice together in a small bowl. Set spice mixture aside.

Step 3

Cook oats and walnuts in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until toasted and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour into a medium bowl and stir in 1/2 cup raisins. Allow to cool slights.

Step 4

Heat sweetened condensed milk over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until simmering, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat; add white chocolate chips, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and the spice mixture. Return to low heat and whisk until thick, completely smooth, and free of lumps. Do not worry if the mixture seizes, it will smooth out as it heats.

Step 5

Remove from heat and stir in oats, walnuts, and raisins. Pour into the prepared pan and use a spatula to smooth it in evenly. Sprinkle with coarse sugar and 2 tablespoons raisins. Lightly press them into the top. Place pan in the refrigerator and allow fudge to cool completely, at least 4 hours.

Step 6

Remove fudge from the pan using the parchment paper edges. Run a knife under hot water for 1 minute, then wipe dry. Cut fudge into sixty-four 1-inch pieces.
