Candy Cane Marshmallow Oreo Fudge

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! As the designated fudge maker, this was a recipe that I longed to make! This is a milk chocolate fudge, but then you throw in marshmallows, chopped up Oreos, peppermint baking chips, and candy cane pieces. It seems like this fudge contains too many things and is difficult to name, but the fudge comes together beautifully.

My fudge looks a little bit different than the original recipe that Peabody made for her blog. This, I discovered, was based on the type of peppermint baking chips that you used. I had a few types on hand- from minty chocolate chips to chips that resembled peppermint bark. While I thought these were purely white chocolate with peppermint, but there were some regular chocolate chips mixed in. I suppose I could have sorted out the non-white chocolate, but I didn’t. That layer of fudge was lighter brown rather than white.

When I cut the fudge, the candy cane pieces I had on top had melted somewhat, but I was able to top the fudge with additional crushed peppermint. This didn’t use very many Oreos, so we had many left to eat! I cut this fudge in fairly large pieces, I’m not exactly sure why. This fudge is fairly heavy and does cut better with a warm knife. I also brought mine out of the refrigerator before cutting, which also helped. I would like to make this again, maybe with the correct type of peppermint chips and I would also chop the Oreos into smaller pieces.

Candy Cane Marshmallow Oreo Fudge

12 ounces milk chocolate

15 ounces sweetened condensed milk, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla 
1 tablespoon butter, divided
 1 cup Oreos, crushed into pieces
8 ounces white chocolate
4 ounces Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips
1/2 cup mini marshmallows
1/3 cup peppermint/candy cane pieces

Line an 8” pan with foil and spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.

Melt the milk chocolate in the top of a double boileror in a microwave, stirring until melted and smooth. Add half of the sweetened condensed milk, the vanilla, and half a tablespoon of butter. Remove from the heat and fold in the crushed Oreos. Spread evenly in the prepared pan and freeze for 30 minutes. 

In a (clean) double boiler or microwaveable bowl, add the white chocolate and Peppermint Crunch chips. Stirring frequently, melt until smooth. Stir in the remaining sweetened condensed milk and ½ tablespoon butter. Fold in the mini marshmallows. 

Remove the fudge from the freezer and top with the white chocolate fudge, spreading as evenly as possible. Top with the peppermint pieces. Refrigerate for several hours. 

Remove the fudge from the pan and cut with a sharp knife; the fudge will cut more easily with a warm, dry knife.
