How To Make Homemade Oreo Fudge

To make any fudge, you’ll need a candy thermometer that clips to the side of your deep pot. It gives you the temperature of your fudge sugar mixture as you are stirring, to prevent any burning. This fudge sets in a 9×13-inch baking dish and uses aluminum foil to easily pull it from the baking dish.

Why We Love This Recipe

It’s unexpected and different. Everyone loves classic chocolate fudge or peanut butter fudge, but Oreo is more unique. I gift several fudge flavors during the holiday season and I always get compliments on the Oreo flavor. People really love the cookies and cream flavor!

I love that fudge can be easily added to cookie dessert trays during the Christmas season. Add several pieces with some festive cookies and you’ve got an irresistible selection of desserts for guests to enjoy. Plus, fudge lasts longer than cookies and stays creamy longer.

So go ahead and make your fudge early! Make your Oreo Fudge in October if your heart desires. Follow the directions below to properly freeze your fudge. Pull it out of the freezer at Christmas and add it to your holiday dessert tray. Nobody will know you made it early.

Tips For Making The Best Fudge Ever

If you want to make the perfect fudge every time, there’s a little bit of technique involved. Be patient with your fudge because it can be tricky. Follow these tips and you’ll be on your way to perfect creamy fudge:

• Use the proper kitchen tools: A heavy saucepan with tall sides is a necessity. Attached your candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan.
• Use a wooden spoon: the fudge gets very hot and a metal spoon would transfer heat to your hand.
• If you don’t have a candy thermometer: Test your fudge using the soft ball method.
• Don’t skip lining your baking pan with aluminum foil. This will help you life the entire pan of fudge out, without any worries or sticking.
• Gather the ingredients before starting your fudge. You have to work quick on the fudge reaches the prime soft ball temperature.

How To Keep Your Oreo Fudge Fresh

Transfer your fudge to an airtight food storage container. Keep the fudge out and it doesn’t need to be refrigerated. Adding it the fridge changes the texture slightly (some people like that – it’s just preference). For best freshness, enjoy the fudge within two week of making it. However, the sugar acts as a preservative and it can be eaten after two weeks with no issues.

Layer the fudge with pieces of waxed paper between each layer for extra protection to keep any moisture or air from being introduced to the fudge.

Can You Freeze Fudge?

Fudge can be easily frozen, making it a great recipe to start before the holiday season. You can get a head start on your holiday treats by making your fudge and freezing it. Fudge properly stored in the freezer will last for 2 to 3 months. I place my fudge in freezer bags. Let it thaw to room temperature to enjoy again.

It’s best to keep fudge tucked away in the back of the freezer, rather than right in front or in the freezer door. This will eliminate any fluctuation in temperature from the door being opened and closed.

Recipe Substitutions

I do not make fudge with any sugar substitutes. By the time you decide to make fudge, you’re all in! Don’t try to use a sugar substitute. Work with granulated sugar, as directed in the recipe.

However, you can use any flavor of Oreos that you want. I used the traditional Oreos (not even double stuffed), but the white chocolate chip base is versatile to go with whatever flavor you pick.

What You’ll Need From The Store:

• Granulated Sugar
• Unsalted
• Marshmallow Cream (Fluff)
• Vanilla Extract
• White Chocolate Chips
• Oreos

Directions To Make Homemade Oreo Fudge

Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Add aluminum foil over the top, letting excess hang off the sides (to act as a handle when the pull your fudge). In a heavy saucepan with candy thermometer clipped to the side, over medium heat, mix the granulated sugar, butter and evaporated milk.

Stir the mixture constantly until it reaches a rolling boil. Once the candy thermometer reaches 234ºF, remove the saucepan from the heat.

Stir in marshmallow cream and white chocolate chips, vigorously, until completely melted. Stir in chopped Oreo cookies and vanilla extract. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Allow the fudge to cool and set.
