Oreo White Chocolate Fudge

Oreo fudge is that magical treat I turn to when I want something ridiculously easy yet impressive at any party or holiday. Creamy white chocolate and chunks of Oreo cookie melt together for a sweet square that vanishes faster than I ever expect. No stove needed and just a handful of classic ingredients you likely already have.

I first threw together this fudge when I realized I had exactly one bag of white chocolate and a half sleeve of cookies. The result was so addictive that my sister texted days later begging for more.

Ingredients

• Sweetened condensed milk: for rich creamy texture and sweet finish find the brands with only milk and sugar in the ingredients for best taste
• White chocolate chips: the base of the fudge pick quality chips that have cocoa butter high up on the label
• Oreo cookies: bring cookie crunch and chocolate flavor the classic variety holds up best but try store brand if you need
• Salt: balances all the sweetness and brings out the vanilla notes look for fine sea salt
• Vanilla extract: gives background warmth and bakery flavor real vanilla is worth the splurge here

Instructions

Prepare the pan:

Line your eight or nine inch square baking dish neatly with foil letting the sides hang over so you can lift out the fudge later. Flatten out any big wrinkles for smooth edges.

Mix base:

In a microwave safe glass bowl combine all of the sweetened condensed milk and all of the white chocolate chips. Stir until the chips are moistened and everything is evenly mixed.

Melt and blend:

Microwave this mixture for one minute at full power. As soon as it comes out use a spatula to quickly stir until the chocolate chips are fully dissolved and the mixture is glossy. The heat in the bowl is enough to melt stubborn bits. Take care not to microwave longer which can scorch your fudge.

Fold in cookies and flavor:

Add all your chopped Oreos all the salt and the vanilla extract as soon as the base is melted. Fold everything together gently so the cookie chunks stay big and suspended in the batter.

Shape and set:

Scrape the mixture into your foil lined pan. Use your spatula to smooth it into an even layer. Press extra broken Oreo pieces across the top for a finished look. Let this sit at room temperature uncovered for at least four hours or until firm to the touch. For dense squares leave overnight loosely covered with foil.

Cut and serve:

Once firm use the foil flaps to lift the fudge from the pan. Slice into small squares with a sharp knife for the perfect bite size treat. Store pieces in an airtight tin to keep them moist and chewy.

Every time I bring this fudge to an event the pan is empty and the recipe cards are gone by dessert. My little cousin once declared it better than his birthday cake. The best part is the memories of letting the kids press Oreos into the top before bedtime knowing fudge will be ready for taste testing in the morning.

Storage Tips

Keep your Oreo fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or two. If you want to store it even longer refrigerate tightly wrapped fudge for up to three weeks. Fudge also freezes beautifully just wrap tightly in plastic then in foil and store for up to three months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving for best texture.

Ingredient Substitutions

If white chocolate is not your favorite try half white and half milk chocolate chips for a twist. Gluten free chocolate sandwich cookies also work so everyone can enjoy a square. Swap the vanilla for almond extract if you want a more complex flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Slice fudge into small squares and nestle into cupcake liners for a dessert tray. Crumble leftover fudge into vanilla ice cream for a decadent sundae. Stack pieces in cellophane bags and tie with ribbon as teacher or neighbor gifts.

Cultural and Seasonal Context

Fudge is a staple on American holiday and potluck tables. This version skips the stovetop thermometer and still delivers the same nostalgic creamy consistency. In winter use peppermint Oreos for a festive twist. During summer these squares are perfect chilled at a picnic.

Seasonal Adaptations

Try golden Oreos for a birthday party. Add colored sprinkles for holidays. Mix in chopped toffee or cranberry for autumn flavor.

Freezer Meal Conversion

After the fudge has set wrap individual pieces tightly in plastic and store them in a freezer bag. You can take out just a few squares at a time and thaw them in the fridge or even enjoy them slightly frozen for a firmer treat.

This Oreo fudge is festive impressive and so simple you can make it any time a craving hits.

Recipe Q&A

→ Can I use regular chocolate chips instead of white chocolate?

White chocolate gives the signature creamy base and classic flavor, but you can try milk or dark chocolate for a different twist. Texture and sweetness will vary.

→ How long does the fudge take to set?

Allow at least 4 hours at room temperature, or let it set overnight for best results. Chilling is not required but can speed the process.

→ How should I store the fudge?

Keep the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1-2 weeks. Avoid refrigeration to prevent hardening.

→ Can I add nuts or other mix-ins?

Yes! Chopped nuts, sprinkles, or flavored extracts can be blended in to personalize the texture and taste.

→ What is the best way to cut the fudge?

Use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts for neat squares. Cut once fully set for the cleanest edges.
