Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz.)
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced into smaller pieces
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon red food coloring (adjust to preference)
Oreo Crust and Topping
- 2½ cups crushed Oreos (about 24–28 Oreos), plus extra as desired
Instructions
- Prepare baking pan and crush Oreos: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring there is enough overhang on the sides to easily lift the fudge out later. In a plastic bag, crush the Oreos with a large spoon until broken into small pieces.
- Melt ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low to medium-low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk), white and semi-sweet chocolate chips, butter, and mini marshmallows. Stir constantly for about 8-10 minutes until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. Using lower heat yields better results and prevents burning.
- Add flavor and mix Oreos: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in vanilla extract and red food coloring until evenly distributed. Gently fold in about 2 cups of the crushed Oreos into the fudge mixture.
- Transfer and top: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Tap the pan several times on the countertop to settle the mixture and remove air bubbles. Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos over the top and gently press them into the fudge to adhere.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the fudge for about 4 hours or until fully set. Once firm, use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Cut into desired sizes, such as 1-inch pieces, which can yield up to 64 pieces. Enjoy your delicious red velvet Oreo fudge!
Notes
- Use sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk, for the correct sweetness and texture.
- Adjust the amount of red food coloring to achieve your preferred shade of red velvet.
- Low to medium-low heat is crucial during melting to avoid burning the chocolate.
- Ensure the fudge is fully chilled before slicing to maintain clean cuts.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
