Oreo Cookie Fudge

 I wait every year until December to make fudge. My favorite is the traditional chocolate fudge with walnuts.
 I will ALWAYS make at least one batch of traditional fudge, but enjoy changing it up.
 On our way home from Reno this Thanksgiving we stopped in Truckee, California. While window shopping we saw a chocolate shop making what looked like Oreo Coolie white chocolate fudge in the window.  The next day I had all the ingredients to make it.

 How? You ask, without a recipe? Easy...take your favorite fudge recipe and just switch up the type of chips and candies.

 My recipe makes three loaf pans. Loaf pans are perfect. Use wax paper and simply lift your fudge right out once chilled. So easy.


 Here is the only recipe you need:

In a large bowl:

3 cups chips (chocolate, white chocolate, peanut butter, etc.)
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 1/2 cups candy/optional (walnuts, peppermints, Oreos, etc.)

In a large sauce pan:

2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons Butter (real butter)
1 cup heavy cream (I use evaporated milk....yummy and it keeps)
3 1/2 cups mini-marshmallows

1.) On medium heat, bring sugar mixture to a boil. Once it starts to boil, set timer for 5 minutes. It must boil for a solid 5 minutes. You can adjust heat. You are ALWAYS stirring the candy mixture. Don't over heat or burn.

2.) Once the mixture has boiled slowly for 5 minutes, remove from heat and add your chip mixture. Mix. That's it.

for this recipe I added half the Oreos right away, as seen and then added more as it cooled. The cream melts into to the mixture....sprinkle Oreo pieces over the top before chilling.


Pour into prepared loaf pans, lined in wax paper and sprayed with "Pam."

Chill...pop it out, slice. Makes a wonderful Christmas gift.
 


I got this recipe from Martha Stewart Kids magazine, 2003 edition. I have been using it ever since and pull the actual magazine from the shelf every year to make it. The Oreo version I did on my own.......

I hope you get a chance to try this!

P.S.
Grandma Dodie always told to NEVER make fudge on a cloudy day.

  7. The only fudge I have ever made is peanut butter. My sister Jeanie is the fudge maker in our family. She makes all kinds. A little shop in our town "Horton's " makes every kind of fudge you could imagine. Raspberry, p.b., Pumpkin, Snicker, Vanilla...so many flavors. Your oreo fudge looks very pretty and tasty.xo, Susie

  15. What a stupendously yummy looking sweet treat! Cookie and cream ice cream has always been one of my favourite flavours and this strikes me as being in much the same vein, so I just know I'd love it (I'd swap in GF Oreo style sandwich cookies, as I have celiac disease, but otherwise wouldn't alter a thing - it looks heavenly!).
