This 3 Ingredient Oreo Fudge tastes like a rich, creamy cookies and cream candy bar, but with the crunch of whole Oreo pieces running through every square. At about $0.53 per serving, this treat is an affordable way to satisfy a sweet tooth.

Step By Step Instructions
Step 1. Prepare an 8×8 baking dish by lining with parchment paper and set aside for later. Next, place the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals. Make sure to stir between each interval until they are completely melted.
Step 2. Then stir in the condensed milk and crushed Oreos. Don’t forget to save a little bit of Oreos for the top.
Step 3. Prepare the pan with foil or parchment paper. Once the pan is lined, pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan.
Step 4. Top with the reserved crush Oreos. Allow to cool at room temperature and then place in the refrigerator to set. Finally, remove from the pan place on a cutting board. Cut and serve in small pieces.
Pro Tips
- Use a Food Processor. A food processor makes quick work of crushing the Oreos. A mini food processor works too. If you don’t have one, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Leave some larger cookie pieces for added texture.
- Melt the Chocolate Slowly. Microwave the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval. This helps prevent the chocolate from overheating or burning.
- Stir Until Smooth. Make sure the melted white chocolate and condensed milk are completely combined before adding the crushed Oreos. This creates a smooth, creamy fudge base.
- Use Parchment Paper. Line the 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides. This makes it much easier to lift the chilled fudge from the pan.
- Allow Enough Time to Set. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to cut. The setting time can vary depending on the thickness of the fudge and the temperature of your refrigerator, so it may need additional chilling time.
- Don’t Cut Too Soon. Make sure the fudge is fully firm before cutting. If the center is still soft, refrigerate it longer.
- Use a Sharp Knife. A sharp knife makes cleaner cuts. Wipe the knife between slices and run it under warm water, then dry it, if the fudge starts sticking.
- Try a Double Boiler. If you prefer not to use the microwave, melt the white chocolate chips in a double boiler over low heat. Stir frequently until smooth, being careful not to let water come into contact with the chocolate.
- Kid-Friendly Tip: Crushing the Oreos and sprinkling the topping are both jobs my own kids like to help with. Just handle the melted chocolate yourself, since that’s the one part of this recipe with any real heat involved.
Variations
- Chocolate Oreo Fudge. Use semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of white chocolate chips for a rich, classic chocolate Oreo fudge instead.
- Different Oreos. Use your favorite Oreo flavor to change the taste. Lemon Oreos are delicious with a little lemon extract added to the melted white chocolate.
- Peanut Butter. Stir 1 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter into the melted chocolate for a chocolate peanut butter twist.
- Add Vanilla. Stir a teaspoon of vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture for extra flavor.
- Mint Oreo Fudge. Use Mint Oreos and add a small amount of peppermint or mint extract for a refreshing flavor combination.
- Birthday Cake Oreo Fudge. Use Birthday Cake Oreos and add colorful sprinkles for a fun party treat.
- Golden Oreo Fudge. Replace regular Oreos with Golden Oreos for a vanilla cookie version.
- Chocolate Drizzle. Drizzle melted semi-sweet or milk chocolate over the finished fudge before refrigerating.
- Add Sprinkles. Top the fudge with seasonal or colorful sprinkles before it sets for an easy way to customize it for holidays and celebrations.
