Introduction and My Rating
I look at this fudge as something extra special for a holiday gift or a “bring a dish” type party. Everybody will be very impressed with both the look and great taste.
Some call this Cookies and Cream Fudge. This version is a variation of Rachel Rays 5 Minute Fudge. Start by melting white chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk. Add some chopped up Oreos, cool, and you’re done.
I say 1 out of 10 skill level. But a 10 out of 10 taste level. You don’t even need a candy thermometer, you little candy maker.
My Rating
An easy five.
📋White Chocolate
White chocolate is not “real” chocolate because there is no cocoa powder in white chocolate. Obviously, that would no longer be white. Some will argue it is not chocolate without the cocoa powder. That is an argument for another day.
The FDA said to be called white chocolate; a product contains at least 20% cocoa butter, 14% milk solids, and 3.5% milkfat — and no more than 55% sugar or other sweeteners.
White cooking chips are rarely labeled as chocolate since they don’t meet the minimum requirements. Many are just downright bad.
Since the main “feature” of this recipe is the coating, I went with one of the top-rated chips from Ghirardelli. I added a bar of white cooking chocolate for more cocoa butter. Tips: Notes on Oreo Fudge
The grade of chocolate can come into play here. I used a middle of the road chips but didn’t use the cheap generic ones.
If you want to use straight white chocolate cooking bars, which generally have more cocoa butter, you will need 18 oz. 1 cup of chips weighs 6 oz. I know 1 cup is 8 oz of fluid, but here there is air space between the chips.
✔️Tips
Use the sandwich cookies you want, but I love standard brand name Oreos. Poor quality will be noticed. I don’t suggest “double stuff” cookies, you need the crunchy cookie part more than frosting.
Please use a non-stick pan.
Use crossing parchment paper in the pan for cooling. A dot of butter helps hold it down.
Of you don’t want to use the parchment paper trick, butter the pan well. To release the fudge from the pan, let it set in hot water for a few minutes.
Be sure the fudge is cool before cutting.
❄️Storage
At room temperature, seal airtight, and it should be good for about 7 days, You can refrigerate for a couple of weeks. Or you can also freeze sealed well for 2-3 months.

👨🍳Instructions
Only four ingredients.
In a non-stick pan over low to medium heat combine, three cups of white chocolate chips and a 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk. Stir frequently until melted and combined – about 4-5 minutes. Three cups of the chips are one and one half 12 oz packages.
Prepare a 9X9 pan by lining with parchment paper. The easy way is two strips crossing over each other.
Roughly chop 20 Oreo cookies to make about 2 1/2 to 3 cups.
When the chocolate is melted and smooth, remove from heat. Add one teaspoon vanilla and the Oreos but reserve one cup for the next step. Mix well.
Pour into prepared pan—top with remaining Oreos and pat the topping into the fudge.
Allow to cool for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator. But room temperature would also work in about 2 hours. Cut into 36 pieces 1 1/2 inches each.
