Cookies N' Cream Fudge

I've been trying to take a little cooking siesta these last few days after Christmas, but I think I've refrained as long as I am capable . The irony surrounding my little "sweets" cooking blog to most of my friends lies in the fact that I have been on a low carb diet for about 9 months. So, my hobby tends to conflict with my dieting lifestyle at times. I have to cook it, photograph it, and try to find someone to gift it to before I confince myself the breakdown of certain ingredients could be considered low carb. Like Butter....its low carb. So if the recipe is primarily made of butter, that makes the whole concoction low carb. Right? Yeah, right. Kind of like a diet coke cancels out a snickers bar :)

Well, this recipe is certainly not low carb. There isn't even any butter to try to sway it over to the low carb side.
I made this recipe specifically for a friend of mine that loves Cookies N Cream Fudge. If you prefer white chocolate, this recipe is for you.  My little one prefered this to all the Christmas candies/cookies that I made this year. It is very easy to make. I do still use my candy thermometer and cook it until it reaches 234 degrees. Also, make sure to use high quality white chocolate. Do not use vanilla baking chips. I have tried this before and it did not set up. I do not like eating my fudge with a spoon. I'm not saying I won't do it. I'm just saying I'd rather not :) Enjoy!
