How to Make Christmas Mint Oreo Fudge (Step-by-Step Instructions)

This recipe is super simple, and I’ll walk you through each step. You’ll have creamy, minty fudge squares in no time!

1. Prepare the Baking Pan

Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang on the sides. This will make it easy to lift the fudge out later.

Tip: Grease the pan lightly before adding the parchment—it helps the paper stick in place.

2. Melt the White Chocolate Mixture

In a medium saucepan, combine:

• 3 cups white chocolate chips
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate and butter melt completely. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.

Important: Keep the heat low so the chocolate doesn’t burn.

3. Add Flavor and Color

Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in:

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Green food coloring (a few drops, until you get a nice minty green color)

Mix well until the color is even.

4. Add Mint Oreos and M&M’s

Crush 12 Mint Oreo Cookies into chunks (not too fine—you want some crunch).
Stir about 2/3 of the crushed Oreos into the warm fudge mixture.

Reserve the rest for topping.

Fold in 1/2 cup red and green M&M’s—saving a few for decoration.

5. Pour and Set the Fudge

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan.
Spread evenly with a spatula.
Press the remaining Oreos and M&M’s on top for a festive look.

6. Chill Until Firm

Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm.

7. Cut into Squares

Once the fudge is set, lift it out using the parchment paper overhang.
Cut into small squares using a sharp knife.

Tip: Warm the knife under hot water and dry it before cutting—it helps get clean slices.

Variations for Christmas Mint Oreo Fudge

• Extra Minty: Add 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract with the vanilla.
• Dark Chocolate Swirl: Melt 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, drizzle over the top before chilling, and swirl with a toothpick.
• Crunchy Peppermint: Sprinkle crushed candy canes on top instead of M&M’s.
• Different Oreos: Swap Mint Oreos for Peppermint Bark Oreos or Classic Oreos.
• Nutty Twist: Mix in 1/2 cup chopped pecans for extra crunch.

How to Serve Christmas Mint Oreo Fudge

This festive fudge is perfect for:

• Holiday Dessert Platters: Mix with cookies and other treats for a beautiful display.
• Edible Gifts: Wrap a few squares in cellophane bags or small boxes with ribbons.
• Snack Time: Enjoy a square with hot chocolate or coffee.
• Christmas Parties: Set it out on a dessert table—watch it disappear fast!

For extra flair, dust the top with powdered sugar or edible glitter before serving.

Storing Christmas Mint Oreo Fudge

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week (in a cool spot).
• Refrigerator: Keeps for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
• Freezer: Wrap in plastic wrap, place in a freezer-safe bag, and freeze for up to 3 months.
  Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.

Tips and Tricks for Success

• Use Low Heat: Melting white chocolate can be tricky. Keep the heat low and stir constantly to prevent burning.
• Crush Oreos Gently: Don’t crush them into crumbs—you want chunks for a satisfying crunch.
• Chill Fully: Don’t rush the chilling step. The fudge needs at least 2 hours to set properly.
• Warm Knife for Slicing: Dip your knife in hot water, wipe it dry, then cut for clean, smooth squares.

Christmas Mint Oreo Fudge FAQs

Can I use regular Oreos instead of mint?

Yes! You’ll still get a delicious cookies-and-cream fudge, just without the mint flavor.

What if I don’t have green food coloring?

You can skip it, but the fudge will be white. Or try gel food coloring for a stronger color.

Can I melt the chocolate in the microwave?

Yes, melt in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth. Be careful not to overheat.

How do I prevent the fudge from being too soft?

Make sure the chocolate fully melts and the fudge chills long enough before cutting. If your kitchen is warm, store it in the fridge.

Can I double the recipe?

Absolutely! Use a 9×13-inch pan and double all ingredients. Chill time stays the same.
