Crushed cookies and cool mint swirl through this Mint Oreo Fudge, creating a creamy fudge base that sets into a sliceable dessert with even squares and a clean mint finish.
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Lightly butter the lining and set aside.
In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, add the sugar, evaporated milk, marshmallow fluff, butter, and salt. Whisk to combine. Bring to a low boil and simmer for 3–5 minutes, whisking constantly until the sugar has dissolved (SEE NOTES).
When the mixture is smooth and slightly darker in color, remove from the heat and whisk in the white chocolate chips, stirring until smooth. Add food coloring, vanilla, and mint extract, then stir in all but ⅓ cup of the chopped Oreos and reserve the rest. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the reserved Oreos on top and gently press in. Place in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours before cutting and serving.
Notes
*I used an 11 oz. bag of Ghirardelli white chocolate chips.**My mint extract is a blend of spearmint and peppermint.-Since I live in Utah, I boil the mixture for 3 minutes instead of 5, like we do in Florida.-If you can’t find mint creme Oreos, regular ones work fine with ½ to ¾ tsp mint extract.-Peppermint extract and peppermint Oreos give it a festive holiday twist.STORE leftover Mint Fudge in an airtight container lined with plastic wrap or wrapped tightly in plastic before sealing. It will keep well for up to 1 week chilled. If you’d like to store it longer, FREEZE it in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag for up to 2 months. Place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.When ready to serve, let it thaw in the fridge overnight. This fudge is meant to be enjoyed cold or at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
