Yum, yum, yum! This fudge was awesome. When I tried stirring the chips into the cookie dough, it just crumbled, so I used my hands to knead the chips into the dough instead. To make things easier for me, I melted the chips in the microwave rather than melting on the stove top. I'd love to tell you how long this fudge lasts - but it was all gone in one day! It tasted great! For prep time - it took about 20 minutes - which includes the 10-15 minute freeze time for the dough. It's so simple to make.
