This easy mint Oreo fudge has a soft vanilla mint flavor with plenty of crunchy mint Oreo pieces mixed in. It’s a fun twist on cookies and cream fudge and a great treat to make ahead for the holidays. Slice it into squares and watch people light up when they realize it’s mint.
Ingredients
20cookiesmint Oreosor similar cookie
3cupswhite chocolate chips
14ouncessweetened condensed milk 1 can
3tablespoonsbutterunsalted
1/4teaspoonsalt
1/2teaspoonmint extract or peppermint extract
1/2teaspoonvanilla extract
Instructions
Line a square 8 x 8 inch baking dish or square baking pan with parchment paper and set to the side.
Place 15 chocolate cookies in a zip-top bag and 5 chocolate cookies in a second bag. Crush the cookies into large pieces in each bag with a rolling pin. Set both bags of cookies to the side. You can also roughly chop the cookies with a knife, see notes.
In a heavy bottomed pan, combine sweetened condensed milk, butter and salt. Add the white chocolate chips last and stir well with a silicone spatula. Heat the mixture gently with medium low heat, stirring very frequently, about 4-5 minutes. (See notes for how to make this recipe in the microwave.)
Turn off the heat to the fudge. Add the vanilla to the fudge mixture and stir, mixing well.
Working quickly, gently fold the larger bag of crushed chocolate cookies into the fudge mixture. Immediately pour the fudge mixture into the prepared square pan. Sprinkle the remaining smaller bag of cookie crumbs immediately over the top of the fudge.
Cover the fudge with aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Let the mixture cool completely for at least 4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator, or until firm.
Remove the fudge from the pan. Slice fudge into 16 pieces and enjoy!
Notes
You can roughly chop the Oreo cookies with a large knife instead of crumbling them with a rolling pin. The rolling pin method is easier to do when cooking with kids.
