Ingredients

• 16 Mint Oreo Cookies
• 3 cups white chocolate chips
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon green food coloring
• 1/3 cup red and green M&M’s

Instructions

1. Step 1: Line an 8×8 square pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prepare for the fudge.
2. Step 2: Break or chop the Mint Oreo cookies into small pieces and set aside.
3. Step 3: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring after each, until the mixture is melted and smooth—this should take about 2 minutes.
4. Step 4: Stir in the vanilla extract and green food coloring until fully incorporated and smooth.
5. Step 5: Gently fold the chopped Oreo pieces into the fudge mixture to distribute them evenly.
6. Step 6: Pour the fudge into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the red and green M&M’s evenly over the fudge and lightly press them down so they stick.
7. Step 7: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set completely.
8. Step 8: Once set, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper. Place on a cutting board and slice into squares for serving.

Tips & Variations

• Use mint Oreo Thins for a crunchier texture and lighter mint flavor.
• If green food coloring isn’t available, try using a few drops of peppermint extract to enhance the minty taste without changing the color.
• For a nutty twist, sprinkle chopped pistachios or walnuts along with the M&M’s on top.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. To serve, allow the fudge to sit at room temperature for a few minutes for easier slicing and a softer texture. This fudge also freezes well when wrapped tightly, lasting up to three months.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular Oreos instead of mint Oreos?

Yes, you can substitute regular Oreos if you prefer a classic chocolate cookie flavor, though the mint flavor is key to the holiday theme.

Is it possible to make this fudge without a microwave?

Absolutely. You can melt the white chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and butter together using a double boiler on the stovetop, stirring constantly until smooth.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Main Ingredients

• 16 Mint Oreo Cookies
• 3 cups white chocolate chips
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon green food coloring
• 1/3 cup red and green M&M’s

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent the fudge from sticking and to make removal easier.
2. Chop Oreos: Break or chop the Mint Oreo cookies into small bite-sized pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the fudge.
3. Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth; this should take about 2 minutes.
4. Add Flavor and Color: Stir in the vanilla extract and green food coloring into the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined and smooth.
5. Fold in Oreos: Gently fold the chopped Oreo pieces into the green fudge mixture to evenly distribute the cookies without breaking them further.
6. Assemble Fudge: Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the red and green M&M’s evenly over the surface and lightly press them into the fudge to help them stick.
7. Chill: Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until the fudge is set and firm.
8. Slice and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper. Place on a cutting board and cut into squares to serve.

Notes

• You can substitute mint Oreo cookies with regular Oreos and add peppermint extract for stronger mint flavor if preferred.
• Adjust the amount of green food coloring to achieve your desired shade of green.
• For even distribution, sprinkle M&M’s immediately after pouring fudge before it begins to set.
• Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• To cut easily without crumbling, use a sharp knife warmed under hot water and dried before slicing.
