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

Step 1: Line an 8×8 inch square pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy removal.
Step 2: Break or chop the Mint Oreo cookies into small pieces and set aside.

Step 3: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring each time until fully melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 4: Stir in the vanilla extract and green food coloring until the mixture is evenly colored.
Step 5: Fold the chopped Oreo pieces gently into the fudge mixture.

Step 6: Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle red and green M&M’s evenly over the surface and press lightly to secure them.
Step 7: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
Step 8: Use the parchment paper to lift the fudge from the pan. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into squares.

Tips & Variations

Use double the amount of Oreo cookies for an extra crunchy texture.
Try peppermint extract instead of vanilla for a stronger mint flavor.
For a festive swirl effect, add a bit of red food coloring and gently swirl it into the green fudge before setting.

Substitute M&M’s with chopped candy canes for a different holiday crunch.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly. You can also freeze the fudge for up to 3 months; thaw in the fridge before cutting and serving.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use regular Oreos instead of Mint Oreos?

Yes, regular Oreos will work, but the mint flavor is what makes this fudge distinctly festive. Consider adding peppermint extract to maintain the minty taste.

Why is the fudge grainy after melting the chocolate?

This can happen if the chocolate overheats or isn’t stirred enough. Microwave in short bursts and stir thoroughly after each to ensure smooth melting.
