Christmas Mint Oreo Fudge (Print version)

Creamy no-bake Christmas Mint Oreo Fudge packed with mint cookie chunks and festive candy topping.

# Ingredients:

For the fudge

01 - 3 cups (510 g) white chocolate chips
02 - 1 can (14 oz or 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
03 - 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter
04 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
06 - Green gel food coloring, a few drops, optional
07 - 18 Mint Oreo cookies, roughly chopped

For the topping

08 - 1/2 cup (100 g) red and green candy-coated chocolates
09 - 2 tablespoons crushed candy canes or extra chopped Mint Oreos, optional

# Instructions:

01 - Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides for easy lifting.
02 - Roughly chop the Mint Oreos into bite-size pieces. Set aside a small handful for topping if desired.
03 - Add white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring after each burst, until smooth and melted, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes total.
04 - Stir in the vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and a few drops of green food coloring if using. Mix until smooth and evenly colored.
05 - Fold in the chopped Mint Oreos gently so the pieces stay chunky and the mixture does not turn gray.
06 - Spread the fudge into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top with red and green candy-coated chocolates and optional crushed candy canes or extra cookies, then press lightly so they stick.
07 - Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Lift the fudge from the pan and slice into 16 squares with a warm, dry knife.

# Good to know:

01 - Chill time is about 2 hours and is not included in the cook time.
02 - Use good white chocolate for the smoothest texture.
03 - Cut into smaller squares for cookie trays or gift boxes.
