Prepare the Pan
- Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly spray the parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray.
Heat-Treat the Flour
- Place 1 cup of all-purpose flour in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, until the flour reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). This step is crucial for food safety. Let the flour cool completely before using.
Make the Edible Monster Cookie Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer or by hand, cream together the softened unsalted butter, packed light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Beat in the milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the cooled, heat-treated flour and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined and no dry streaks remain.
- Stir in the creamy peanut butter and old-fashioned rolled oats. Finally, fold in the 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips and 1/4 cup mini M&M's. Set the edible cookie dough aside.
Prepare the Fudge Base
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Add the evaporated milk and 3 cups of granulated sugar to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- Continue to boil for exactly 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Finish and Assemble the Fudge
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Immediately stir in the entire jar of marshmallow fluff until it is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the 2 cups of white chocolate chips and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until the white chocolate is fully melted and the fudge is smooth and glossy.
- Pour about half of the hot fudge mixture into the prepared 9x13 inch pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Drop spoonfuls of the edible monster cookie dough over the fudge layer, distributing them as evenly as possible.
- Carefully pour the remaining hot fudge over the cookie dough and gently spread to cover.
Decorate and Chill
- Immediately sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, 1/4 cup peanut butter chips, and 1/4 cup mini M&M's over the top of the fudge, gently pressing them into the warm fudge.
- Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2-3 hours, or until the fudge is completely firm.
Cut and Serve
- Once firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut it into 1 to 1.5-inch squares. For cleaner cuts, wipe the knife clean with a damp cloth after each slice.
Notes
Store Monster Cookie Dough Fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For the best texture, allow refrigerated fudge to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving.
