If you love Oreos, this is the perfect fudge for you. Also known as "Cookie and Cream Fudge," it is ideal for an office holiday party, a gift, or just for yourself.
Very easy to make with only 4 ingredients. It only needs a skill level of 1/10, but the results are 10/10. No special equipment and no candy thermometer are required.
With impressive visual impact and even better taste, I consider it one of the best fudge you can make at home. It makes a perfect holiday gift or for a "bring a dish" party. It also works for holiday season cookie exchanges.
This recipe is a variation of my Easy 5-Minute Chocolate Fudge. Crock Pot Fudge is a version of the same recipe. Check out some other great sweet treats, Crock Pot Chocolate Peanut Clusters, Crock Pot White Chocolate Almond Clusters, or Candied Almonds.
Ingredients
- White chocolate chips
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Vanilla extract
- Oreo cookies
👨🍳How to Make Oreo Fudge
- Combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a non-stick saucepan over low to medium heat. Stir frequently until melted and combined—about 4-5 minutes.
- Prepare pan with parchment paper.
- Chop Oreo cookies.
- When the chocolate is melted and smooth, remove it from heat. Add vanilla extract and all but one cup of chopped Oreos.
- Pour into prepared pan and top with remaining Oreos
- Allow to cool and cut.
✔️Tips
- Use original Oreo cookies. I don't suggest "double stuff" cookies; you need the crunchy cookie part more than the frosting.
- Please use a non-stick saucepan, and do not leave the melting chocolate unattended.
- Use crossing parchment paper in the pan for cooling. A dot of butter helps hold it down.
- If you don’t want to use the parchment paper trick, butter the pan generously. To release the fudge from the pan, let it sit in hot water for a few minutes.
- Be sure the fudge is cool before cutting.
- Use a clean, warm, sharp knife to cut the fudge. Run under hot water as needed to keep it clean.
❓FAQs
Yes, microwave the sweetened condensed milk in a large microwave-safe bowl for 30-40 seconds. Then mix in the chips and continue to microwave and mix in 30-second increments until the mixture is smooth. Then proceed with the recipe by mixing in the Oreos and vanilla.
White chocolate is not "real" chocolate because there is no cocoa powder in white chocolate. The FDA has defined minimum requirements to be called "white chocolate," Most chips do not meet them, so they will be called other things like morsels or baking chips.
Generally, for the best results, use one of the top-rated chips from Ghirardelli, but Nestle is usually OK. If you want to use white chocolate cooking bars, which generally have more cocoa butter and better quality. Substitute by weight, 1 cup of chips weighs 6 ounces.
❄️Storage of Fudge
Fudge can be stored at room temperature and sealed airtight for about a week. Or in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks.
To freeze, seal in an airtight container for 2 to 3 months.

🖼️Step-by-Step Photo Instructions
Only four ingredients.
In a non-stick saucepan over medium-low heat, combine 3 cups of white chocolate chips and a 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk. Stir frequently until melted and combined - about 4-5 minutes. Three cups of the chips are one and one-half 12 oz packages.
Prepare a 9X9 pan by lining it with parchment paper. The easy way is two strips crossing over each other.
Roughly chop 20 Oreo cookies to make about 2 ½ to 3 cups.
When the chocolate is melted and smooth, remove it from heat. Mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and all but one cup of chopped Oreos.
Pour into prepared pan—top with remaining Oreos and pat the topping into the fudge.
Allow to cool for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator. But room temperature would also work for about 2 hours. With a warm shape knife, cut into 36 pieces about 1 ½ inches each or the size you want.

Delicious! I would definitely make this again.
Patti
Hey Dan, Have you ever done this recipe with the "flavored" oreos? I love the mint ones, and this seems like it would be delicious. My son-in-law loves the peanut butter ones. Do you think they would be okay too? And to get more crunch for the buck, what do you think of the thin oreos? With less fillng? You menitoned not to use the doubel stuff, but "less stuff"?
Dan Mikesell AKA DrDan
Hi Patti,
Welcome to the blog.
I think all those options are fine. I nixed the double stuff oreos since the stuffing is not up to the full flavor of the fudge it is in and would stand out. The regular stuffing or less stuff should be fine. About the "thin" oreos, they may be too thin but it is a matter of personal taste.

Can I use vanilla almond bark ?
Dan Mikesell AKA DrDan
Hi Melissa,
Welcome to the blog.
Short answer is yes, but....
The but is that almond bark/candy melts don't have a lot of taste. No cocoa butter and other things. So I suggest no more than 50% of the bark or melts.
The chips can be an issue. The Nestle chips are still Ok but I prefer Ghirardelli now. You can find more discussion on white chocolate on https://www.101cookingfortwo.com/crock-pot-white-chocolate-almond-clusters/
So yes but I would only use it for part of it. And I also like to add a white chocolate baking bar for more cocoa butter.
Hope that helps.

Can you freeze this I’m flying to Mexico City and want to make sure my fudge will hold up
DrDan
It will freeze well. It should be fine at room temperature in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks. Refrigerated for 2-3 weeks and frozen for 2-3 months. If you elect to freeze it, wrap each piece individually. Thaw by setting at room temp for a few hours.

I am an avid fudge maker, this is not really a fudge per se. And it never hardened for me, as well as all I can taste is the SCM, it's over powering - and I used good quality expensive white chocolate. I think if I made this like I made my normal fudge recipe- for white chocolate, and added Oreo pieces it would fare much better. Sorry, I just thought it would be a quick make.
Joe man
This was amazing I loved it
Sandie
looks very, very yummy ??? can white chocolate bark be substituted for morsels
DrDan
Thanks for the note. And no white chocolate bark would not work.
Nicholas
I literally tasted got but I could taste the condensed sweet milk alittle to much, anyone else have this problem otherwise taste great
DrDan
I have done this about 5 times. I think it might by your white chocolate chips. I used a cheaper type once and the taste was off some.
Thanks for the note.

Hi, thank you for the recipe. I tried it once and it was fabulous. However, I'd like to know if the same recipe would work if I used everything in smaller quantities. I only have 6oz white chocolate chips, so will the quality of the fudge remain the same if I use a third of all the required ingredients?
DrDan
The sweetened condensed milk only comes in the one size I know of so the will be the issue with "cutting down" this recipe. So the answer is yes you can but not practical due to package size issues.

Made this with cherries, it was delicious, will definitely make again. Can't wait to make your cinnamon roll cake. Late thank you, your thanksgiving menu/recipes was a great hit and much appreciated. We had an unexpected death in our family, with your help I was able to make a special meal that helped us deal with our grief. Thanks again, Leslie
DrDan
Hi Leslie, Sorry for your loss and I glad I was of some help.
The cherry version sounds great and I may do it for Christmas. You'll love the cinnamon roll cake.
Thanks for the note and rating
Dan
Leslie
Do you think my fudge will still firm up if I I add cherries to this recipe?
DrDan
Definitely will. Some people use a similar recipe but not as much chocolate and they have issues. I did the brown chocolate version 2 years ago with cherries and it was fine.

Lara
I was just thinking I needed to make some fudge for a holiday party. This looks amazing - can't wait to try it. Thanks for the recipe!!
Lorraine
Could I substitute milk chocolate for the white chocolate? Would that change the recipe at all?
DrDan
Hi Lorraine, Check out the Rachael Ray's 5 Minute Fudge at https://www.101cookingfortwo.com/rachel-rays-5-minute-fudge/ . I would use the combination semi-sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch morsels in that recipe and add do the Oreos like this recipe.
Dan
Lorraine
