Fudge doesn’t really need an introduction. I must admit, I often use this…cheating – or shall we say easier? – method for making fudge. This utilizes marshmallow cream and doesn’t require hand beating the fudge tirelessly, hoping to achieve the correct consistency. I decided cookies and cream fudge was in order because it’s a fun update on the usual chocolate or peanut butter ones I make.
This is a definite Christmas treat: sweet and very decadent!

Cookies & Cream Fudge
A modern take on an old-school dessert, this recipe is a quicker and simpler way to make fudge. Oreos bring incredible flavor and texture, while marshmallow and vanilla add lightness.
Ingredients
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 7-oz jar marshmallow creme
- 12 tbsp (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter
- 11 oz white chocolate
- 2 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
- 2 cups crushed Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Line a 9 x 9-inch baking dish with parchment paper and set aside. Also, have the marshmallow cream, white chocolate, and Oreos prepared and ready.
- Bring sugar, evaporated milk, and butter to a low boil over medium-high heat. Depending on the stove, the temperature may need to be adjusted so the mixture does not boil too hard and scorch on the bottom.3 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup evaporated milk, 12 tbsp (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter
- Stir constantly and bring to 235°F to 238°F on a candy or instant-read thermometer.
- Remove from heat and add white chocolate, vanilla bean paste, and marshmallow creme. Stir until smooth. Then mix in 1 ½ cups crushed Oreos.1 7-oz jar marshmallow creme, 11 oz white chocolate, 2 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract), 2 cups crushed Oreo cookies
- Pour into the prepared baking dish and top with remaining ½ cup Oreos, pressing slightly to make them adhere. Let cool 4-6 hours.
- Using the parchment as a sling, remove from baking dish and cut into small pieces. Be sure to store in airtight containers so the fudge does not dry out.

This is delicious! I’ve found a new Christmas candy staple!
Hi there! I’m wondering if there could possibly be a typo in the recipe for the Cookies & Cream Fudge?? The recipe calls for 17 oz. jar of marshmallow creme. For one thing I can’t find 17 oz. jars and if you need 17 ounces of marshmallow creme, then you need 3 jars. Because the jars are each 7 ounces. So, I bought 3 jars but now I’m having a hard time measuring 17 ounces! Maybe the recipe means “one 7 ounce jar”. Enough of my rambling! Ha! I would really appreciate your help! I wanted to make this for Xmas but I know you’re busy!! Thank you in advance for your help!
Take care and Merry Christmas!
