✅ Ingredients
Base Fudge
-
3 cups white chocolate chips (or 18 oz high-quality white baking chocolate)
-
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
-
1 tsp peppermint extract (optional but recommended for extra flavor)
-
15 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (not crushed—leave chunks)
-
1 cup white chocolate peppermint bark chips (optional but delicious)
Topping
-
3–4 candy canes, crushed
-
OR ½ cup round peppermint candies, crushed
-
Extra Oreo chunks (optional)
🥣 Instructions
1. Prepare Your Pan
-
Line an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
-
Leave overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
2. Melt the White Chocolate
-
In a medium saucepan, combine:
-
white chocolate chips
-
sweetened condensed milk
-
-
Warm over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
⚠️ Do not overheat — white chocolate burns quickly.
3. Add Peppermint Flavor
-
Once melted, remove from heat.
-
Stir in peppermint extract.
4. Fold in the Cookies & Add-Ins
-
Gently fold in:
-
chopped Oreo cookies
-
white chocolate peppermint bark chips (optional)
-
-
Mix softly — you want visible chunks, not crumbs.
