Ingredients You’ll Need

Gather your squad. This is the dream team that will create magic. Pro tip: do not, I repeat, do NOT sneak too many Oreos before they make it into the fudge.

White chocolate chips (3 cups): The sweet, melty base that holds our masterpiece together.
Creamy peanut butter (1 cup): Not the natural, oily kind. We need the classic, shelf-stable, wonderfully processed stuff for the perfect texture. This is a judgment-free zone.
Sweetened condensed milk (1 can – 14 oz): The secret weapon. This is what gives the fudge its legendary creamy, soft texture without any fuss.
Vanilla extract (1 tsp): The little flavor boost that makes everything taste more… everything.
A pinch of salt: To balance all that sweetness and make your taste buds do a happy dance.
Oreos (about 20 cookies): The star of the show. You’ll need most of them chopped up for the mix, and a few reserved for looking pretty on top.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s get down to business. This is so simple it’s almost embarrassing.

Prep Your Pan. Grab an 8×8 inch baking dish. Line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on two sides. This isn’t just a suggestion—it’s your golden ticket to easily lifting the entire slab of fudge out later. Trust me, you’ll thank yourself.
Chop Those Oreos. Take about 16-18 Oreos and give them a rough chop. You want a mix of big chunks and fine crumbs for maximum texture. Don’t pulverize them into dust! Set aside a few whole or halved cookies for the top.
Melt the Good Stuff. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, peanut butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring well after each burst, until everything is melted and smooth. This should only take about 90 seconds total.
Bring It All Together. Stir in the vanilla extract and that pinch of salt. Now, gently fold in your chopped Oreos until they’re evenly distributed throughout the glorious peanut butter mixture.
Press and Decorate. Pour the mixture into your prepared pan and spread it out into an even layer. Now, press those reserved Oreo halves or chunks artistically on top. This is your moment. Be creative!
Chill Out. Pop the pan into the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours, or until it’s completely firm. Impatience is the enemy of clean slices. Let it set!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Let’s avoid some classic kitchen faux pas, shall we?

Impatient Chilling: Trying to cut into this fudge before it’s fully set is a recipe for a goopy, delicious-looking mess. Respect the chill time.
Using Natural Peanut Butter: That separated, oily, all-natural PB will give you a greasy, weird-textured fudge. Save it for your toast. We need the classic stuff here.
Over-microwaving: Blasting the chocolate mixture for too long will scorch it. Slow and steady (30-second intervals!) wins the race.
Not Lining the Pan: Thinking you can just grease the pan and call it a day? Rookie move. The parchment paper sling is non-negotiable for clean removal.

Alternatives & Substitutions

Want to mix it up? Go for it!

Different Chocolate: Not a white chocolate fan? Swap it for an equal amount of semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips. It’ll be a different vibe, but still delicious.
Cookie Swap: Use Golden Oreos for a vanilla twist, or mint Oreos for a peanut butter-mint situation (weirdly good!).
Nut-Free: SunButter (made from sunflower seeds) is a great peanut butter alternative that tastes surprisingly similar in recipes like this.
Add-Ins: Feel free to toss in a handful of mini chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top before chilling.

FAQ

How long does this fudge last?

Stored in an airtight container in the fridge, this glorious slab will stay perfect for up to two weeks. If it even lasts that long.

Can I freeze this Peanut Butter Oreo fudge?

Absolutely! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil, and it will freeze beautifully for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the fridge overnight.

My mixture is super thick, is that normal?

Yes! Once you add the Oreos, it becomes a very thick, almost dough-like consistency. This is exactly what you want. Just press it firmly into your pan.

Can I use margarine instead of butter?

There’s no butter in this recipe, you genius, you! See? I told you it was easy. But for the record, in other recipes, you could… but why hurt your soul like that?

Why did my chocolate seize up?

You probably got a drop of water in the mixture or overheated it. Water is the enemy of melting chocolate. Make sure your bowl and utensils are completely dry.

Can I make this without a microwave?

Of course! Use a double boiler (or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water) to melt the white chocolate, peanut butter, and condensed milk together, stirring until smooth.

Now, go forth and conquer. You’ve got a world-class dessert to make and people to impress. You’ve got this
