Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients (about 36 bite-sized squares)
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow cream (fluff)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 20 chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos), coarsely chopped
- Optional: pinch of salt; extra cookie pieces for topping
Variation Ideas
- Chocolate Fudge Marshmallow Cream: Swap 1 cup of white chips for semi-sweet chips.
- Cookie Monster Fudge: Tint base light blue, add candy eyes, and sprinkle mini chocolate chips.
Instructions
- Prepare pan: Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment, leaving overhang for easy lifting.
- Melt base: In a medium saucepan over low heat, stir together white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and fully melted.
- Add marshmallow cream: Stir in marshmallow cream until incorporated, then mix in vanilla (and a pinch of salt, if using).
- Fold cookies: Off heat, gently fold in most chopped cookies, reserving some for the top.
- Set: Spread mixture evenly in the prepared pan. Sprinkle reserved cookie pieces on top and lightly press.
- Chill & slice: Refrigerate at least 3 hours, then lift out, cut into squares with a sharp knife, and serve.
Notes
- Low & slow: White chocolate scorches easily—keep heat low and stir constantly.
- Parchment matters: Line the pan for clean removal and neat slices.
- Crunch control: Fold cookies in after removing from heat to keep them crisp.
- Clean cuts: Warm a knife under hot water, wipe dry, and slice.
- Storage: Airtight at room temp up to 1 week; refrigerate 2–3 weeks; freeze up to 3 months (wrap well).
- Flavor spins: Try mint (peppermint extract + green tint), peanut butter swirls, rocky road (mini marshmallows + nuts), or freeze-dried strawberries for a fruity twist.
