Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14 ounces/397 grams) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup Mint Oreos, roughly chopped
Flavoring and Coloring:
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- Green food coloring
Garnish:
- Crushed candy canes
- Extra chopped Mint Oreos
Instructions
- Prepare a festive canvas by lining an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to drape over the edges for effortless removal.
- Create a smooth chocolate base by melting white chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture transforms into a velvety consistency.
- Elevate the flavor profile by removing the pan from heat and incorporating peppermint extract. For a holiday-inspired look, gently blend in a few drops of green food coloring until uniformly distributed.
- Introduce textural excitement by folding chopped Mint Oreos into the liquid fudge, ensuring even dispersion throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the decadent blend into the prepared pan, using a spatula to smooth the surface with precision. Enhance visual appeal by generously sprinkling additional chopped Mint Oreos and crushed candy canes across the top.
- Allow the fudge to set and solidify by refrigerating for 2-3 hours, or until it reaches a firm, sliceable consistency.
- Unveil your festive creation by lifting the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper edges. Slice into bite-sized squares and indulge in this delightful holiday confection.
Notes
- Swap white chocolate with dairy-free alternatives like coconut milk-based chips for vegan or lactose-intolerant friends.
- Crush Oreos finely to ensure even distribution and create a smooth, consistent texture throughout the fudge.
- Control peppermint intensity by adjusting extract quantity – start with less and taste, then add more for a stronger mint flavor.
- Freeze fudge for firmer texture and longer storage, keeping in an airtight container up to 3 weeks for extended holiday snacking.
