Ingredients Notes
The components of this recipe are easily accessible. You’ll need semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and of course, Oreo cookies.

Recipe Steps
Step 1
Start by lining a square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some excess paper hanging over the sides for easy lifting later.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and combined.
Step 3
Crumble the Oreo cookies into the chocolate mixture, mixing gently until evenly distributed.
Step 4
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Press a few additional crumbled Oreo pieces on top for an extra burst of flavor and texture.

Step 5
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper and cut it into small squares to serve.
Storage Options
Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. If you want to keep it longer, freeze individual pieces wrapped in wax paper, and place them in a zip-lock bag. Thaw them in the refrigerator before serving.
Variations & Substitutions
For a different flavor profile, try using white chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet ones. If you need a dairy-free version, opt for coconut sweetened condensed milk and dairy-free chocolate chips. Experiment with different flavored Oreos to keep things exciting.
Serving Suggestions
This fudge is perfect for any occasion, from holiday parties to mid-week cravings. Serve it at room temperature on a decorative platter, or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. It also makes a thoughtful homemade gift wrapped in cellophane or placed in a decorative tin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I double this recipe? Yes, you certainly can double the recipe. Simply use a larger baking dish and double each ingredient. It may take slightly longer to set, so factor in additional refrigeration time.
What can I do if my fudge doesn’t set properly? If your fudge doesn’t set, it might be due to insufficient melting of the chocolate or not enough time to firm up. Ensure your chocolate is fully melted before mixing and allow additional setting time, especially if you’ve made a larger batch.
Is it possible to use other cookies instead of Oreos? Absolutely, substitute with your favorite cookies for a unique twist. Try chocolate chip cookies or graham crackers for a different flavor and texture, adapting to what’s available or your preference.
