White Chocolate Cookies & Cream Fudge
By srumbel
Taste-wise this fudge is amazingly similar to a Hershey’s Cookies & Cream bar. But better because the vanilla in the recipe is quite pronounced and it gives the fudge a wonderful, vanilla-enhanced flavor that the Hershey bars lack entirely.
Plus, the finished fudge it’s still soft like fudge, rather than snappy-crunchy like a chocolate candy bar. There’s so much creaminess and sweetness going on in this fudge to really notice the type of Oreos used.

Ingredients
- 2 1/4 c white chocolate chips
- + 1/2 c white chocolate chips, reserved (or any kind of chocolate chips)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 3 c Oreo cookies, chopped
- + reserve 1-2 tbsp Oreo crumbs for dusting the top layer of the fudge
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract (reduce a bit if you’re not a fiend like I am)
Preparation
Step 1
Combine 2 1/4 c white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk and melt over low heat in a saucepan taking care to stir frequently and watch it so the mixture doesn’t burn (you could also probably do this in the microwave but I haven’t tried it). When mixture is melted and smooth, add vanilla extract. Then add the chopped Oreo cookies and stir. Pour mixture into 9 x 9 foil-lined or parchment-lined pan. Then lightly press 1/2 c white (or regular/dark) chocolate chips into the top layer. The fudge will start to set up fairly fast and just press the chocolate chips in lightly. Dust top layer with 1-2 tbsp Oreo crumbs if desired. Place fudge in freezer for at least two hours to fully set up. Remove from freezer, slice, and serve at room temperature. Store extra in the freezer or fridge and it will likely keep for month(s). It will keep for much longer than you’ll be able to keep it around.
Notes:
Don’t overchop your Oreos if you want really white fudge. I believe I made my Oreos too small/too many crumbs and the overall fudge mixture turned more gray rather than bright white chocolate with chocolate Oreo pieces in it. If you use too many crumbs/too small of Oreo bits it will turn your really white chocolate into a more gray fudge. It all tastes the same, but this is just a visual tip that I can pass on if you care about the visual.
