This thick and rich Mint Cookies and Cream Fudge is studded with chunks of mint creme Oreos. It’s a cinch to make and tastes oh so good!
Confession time: I’m a total newbie when it comes to making fudge. My husband’s family makes it every year for Christmas so a few years ago I finally took the plunge and decided it was time to give it a try. It was terrifying!! Ok, my first two batches were perfect (one was chocolate pecan and the other was chocolate peanut butter), but the next few were flops and I had no idea why. I finally figured it out. Here in Utah the fudge only needs 3 minutes to boil compared to the 5 in Florida. Ever since that discovery I’ve been making all sorts of yummy kinds. Note to self: next time I need to snap a few pictures before we eat it all! Oops.
This time though I made sure to make the fudge while the kiddos were asleep and the hubby was at work. That way I could share this creamy, minty goodness with you all. I’m totally a sucker for the cookies & cream combo (if you’ve taken a peek at my recipe index you’ll find a few yummy treats made with Oreos), especially when mint is involved!
I thought this would be the perfect treat for St. Patrick’s Day ???? (or even Christmas if you swapped the mint for peppermint). It’s tinted ever so slightly with a teeny tiny drop of food coloring… the rest of the from the creme in the cookies.
For this recipe you’ll need: granulated sugar, salt, butter, marshmallow fluff, white chocolate chips (high quality is preferred), green food coloring, vanilla extract, mint extract, and mint creme Oreos. The method isn’t overly complicated, it’s just a matter of stirring and watching the mixture as it boils, then stirring everything together and chilling it. Cut it up into as many or as few pieces as you’d like and enjoy with a glass of milk.
I hope you’ll love this mint cookies & cream fudge as much as our family did. It’s sweet, minty and loaded with crunchy bits of Oreo cookies. It’s a match made in heaven.
