Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 2½ cups white chocolate chips
- 1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow fluff
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon mint extract
Add-ins
- 25 mint Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (reserve ½ cup for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Dish: Line a 9×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper or tin foil, allowing extra overhang to easily lift fudge later. Lightly spray with cooking spray and set aside.
- Combine White Chocolate and Marshmallow: In a large mixing bowl, add white chocolate chips and marshmallow fluff. Set this bowl aside while preparing the hot mixture.
- Cook Sugar Mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, granulated sugar, heavy whipping cream, and salt. Bring to a boil, then let boil for 5 minutes without changing the heat, stirring occasionally.
- Mix Together: Remove saucepan from heat and pour hot mixture into the bowl with white chocolate chips and marshmallow fluff. Let sit for 2 minutes to soften the chocolate chips and fluff.
- Add Flavor and Blend: Add mint extract. Using a handheld blender, mix everything until smooth and combined.
- Fold in Oreos and Pour: Stir in chopped Oreos, reserving half a cup to sprinkle on top. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the reserved Oreos evenly on top and gently press down.
- Chill and Set: Cover the dish loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6 hours or until firm and set.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, trim edges if desired and cut into small squares. Serve chilled for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips like Ghirardelli or Guittard for best flavor and smooth melting.
- Keep Oreo cookie pieces chunky rather than finely ground to maintain the mint color and texture.
- Set an exact 5-minute timer for boiling the sugar mixture to avoid over or undercooking.
- Use a handheld or stand mixer for easier blending; wooden spoons can work but require more effort.
- Allow the mixture to sit for 2 minutes after pouring hot liquid into the chocolate to ensure smooth mixing.
- The fudge tastes better after at least 24 hours refrigerated as flavors meld and sweetness reduces.
- Do not leave fudge at room temperature for too long as it softens; serve chilled or at room temperature depending on preference.
- Variations include swapping mint Oreos for classic, chocolate, or peppermint bark Oreos; adjust extract accordingly.
- Butter can be salted or unsalted based on preference; salted adds balance to the sweet flavors.
