Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz.
  • 2 cwhite chocolate chips
  • 1 csemi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cmini marshmallows
  • 2 Tunsalted butter sliced into smaller pieces

Instructions

Instructions

  • Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides for easy removal; set the pan aside.
  • Place the Oreos in a sturdy, resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin or a heavy spoon until mostly uniform crumbs. Measure out 2½ cups crushed Oreos (about 24–28 Oreos). Reserve about ½ cup for the topping and set the remaining ~2 cups aside for the fudge mixture.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk, 2 cups white chocolate chips, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 2 cups mini marshmallows, and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (sliced into smaller pieces). Note: do not use evaporated milk.
  • Heat the saucepan over low to medium-low heat. Stir constantly and scrape the bottom and sides with a heatproof spatula until all chips and marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is smooth, about 8–10 minutes. Keep the heat low to prevent scorching.
  • Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon red food coloring (add more or less as desired), mixing until the color is evenly distributed.
  • Fold the reserved ~2 cups crushed Oreos into the melted mixture until evenly incorporated.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared parchment-lined pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter a few times to remove air pockets and help it settle.
  • Sprinkle the reserved ~½ cup crushed Oreos evenly over the top and gently press them into the surface so they adhere.
  • Refrigerate the pan for about 4 hours, or until the fudge is fully set and firm.
  • Use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Place on a cutting board and slice into desired pieces. (If you cut 1-inch pieces, you can get about 64 pieces.) Enjoy.

Notes

Use high quality chocolate chips for best results.When chocolate is the main event of a recipe, I find the better quality is ideal. The texture will be creamy and the flavor richer. Regular chocolate chips will work, I just think it makes for the best
Do not step away from the stove.This red velvet Oreo fudge is fairly foolproof but if you walk away from it, you are playing with fire. If the chocolate gets too hot, it’s not going to work out. Stay by the oven and stir it constantly so that you don’t risk the chocolate burning in any way.
While you could make this in the microwave, I don’t recommend it.There are lots of fudge recipes that use the microwave to melt it all. You technically could use a microwave safe bowl and follow the directions but using 25 second bursts and stirring in between. I find it not as safe of an option as its more likely to overcook.
