Oh fudge, glorious fudge. Oh how I love fudge. I only eat it this time of year. My Mom makes it every Thanksgiving and we lick our fingers clean. And then we enjoy it again for Christmas. It is absolutely delicious. This year I decided to mix it up a bit and I added some scrumptious things to it. Half of the pan was filled with crushed Oreo’s, and the other half was filled with Keebler’s Merry Mint Patties (remember my last post?). It was my all time favorite. I loved the hint of mint and the crunchy shortbread. Yum. This fudge is also amazing all on its own. It really doesn’t need anything added to it, but I like to mix things up a bit every once in a while. This recipe is a family favorite and you must try it. It will be hit at any party and people will be begging you for the recipe! Happy weekend!
Oreo Fudge
1 12 ounce can evaporated milk
4 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 12 ounce package semi sweet chocolate chips
1 13 ounce jar marshmallow cream
4- 1.55 ounce Hershey’s milk chocolate bars, chopped
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups crushed Oreo cookies
1. In a large saucepan, heat the evaporated milk and sugar until boiling. Continue heating over medium-high heat and at a low boil for about 10-12 minutes, or until it has reached the soft ball stage. (Check this by adding a small drop to a bowl of cold water. If you can roll it into a soft ball, it is ready.)
2. In a mixer, add the butter, chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, and chocolate bar chunks. Pour in the milk and sugar mixture and whip until all the ingredients are melted and smooth. Add in vanilla extract. Stir in the Oreo’s.
3. Pour directly into a greased 9X13 pan and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
I hope you enjoy these treats! Happy Holidays!
Sounds great, Steph! I can’t think of anything better than oreos in fudge. (Loved the article the other day in the newspaper about you, too.)
Oh, fudge is one of my favorite treats! I love your recipe… nice to see different add-ins from the usual nuts.
You know, I don’t even LIKE Oreos. . . but this fudge? Oh, my, I think I must have some!! Looks fabulous. Thanks for the recipe!
Oh this looks like pure heaven to me. I love Oreo’s so much. I must try this one too.
Oh, my goodness. I have got to make this. It looks so sinful!
This sounds really great, I’ll have to add it to my files.
ps. I just added you to my links page.
Oreo fudge-music to my ears! This looks delicious!

Oh Yum! I think my son and husband would love this!
That is my kind of fudge – Looks incredible
Stephanie,
I just found your blog through someone else, (sorry now I can’t remember who!) I love the look and your food looks “so delightful” as my 3yr old girl would say.
Can’t wait for more recipes!
Thanks,
Amy
Yummy! I could eat a bunch of those little squares!
These sound right up my alley. Wow, reading food blogs is NOT good for my new Don’t-Eat-After-Nine-PM rule!
I love fudge, too and this looks YUM-O! I recently made some strawberry fudge and put Oreos in it! Also those mint shortbread cookies look de-lish!
Triple yum! Why have I never thought to add oreos to fudge???
Ah, fudge. I could eat the plate myself with a huge side of regret but oh, it would be worth it. It is the holidays after all!
Stephanie talk about take an indulgent treat over the top! I am loving the addition of Oreos! I am definately going to have to toss some in to my fudge sometime!
I love fudge, and your version sounds amazing. I haven’t made much holiday candy this year, but this looks like something I need to make!
I’ve been looking forever for a great fudge recipe and today I tried yours and LOVED it! Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Stephanie,
Hope you don’t mind but I’m “borrowing” this link for Oreo Cookie Day! Your fudge looks amazing!!!!! Oh How I could use a piece right now!
Decided to try this fudge recipe today. I wanted to make 2 batches of it, so we could have some for thanksgiving. I doubled the recipe but only added 7 cups of sugar. However, after 4 hours in the refrigerator it only seemed to set half way. Not sure why, but possibly could have something to do with not having used the 9 cups of sugar. (4.5 cups + 4.5 cups). So I flipped the fudge over and am currently ‘fridging over night. Hopefully the other half will set. If not, I guess I will try melting it down in Large sauce pan and adding the other 2 cups of sugar and try setting it again. I tried a bit of the half set fudge and its really good, but just a bit 2 sweet for what I am used to in fudge. So hopefully it will set so that we can have some tomorrow. Without having to add the other 2 cups of sugar. This is def. not a diabetic friendly recipe but is REALLY good…
Hi Stephanie,
I made this Oreo fudge last night. It was wonderful and I posted the results on my blog. Wanted you to check it out. I also wanted to thank you for my now favorite fudge recipe. The creamiest fudge I have ever made. Absolutely delicious!
Thanks
Heidi
