So, grab your apron and let’s make some Christmas magic!
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this holiday fudge:
- 16 Mint Oreo Cookies
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or peppermint extract for more minty goodness!)
- 1 tablespoon green food coloring
- 1/3 cup red and green M&M’s (for that festive pop!)
How to Make Christmas Mint Oreo Fudge – Step-by-Step
1. Line your pan: Start by lining an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. This will make removing the fudge later so much easier!
2. Break the Oreos: Roughly chop or break the Mint Oreo cookies into small pieces. You want bite-sized chunks that will add texture and minty flavor to your fudge.
3. Melt the chocolate mix: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, condensed milk, and butter. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring after each round, until everything is smooth and fully melted. This should take around 2 minutes.
4. Add color and flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract (or peppermint, if you want more minty zing) and the green food coloring. Mix it all together until the color is evenly distributed and the fudge base is silky smooth.
5. Fold in Oreos: Gently fold the chopped Mint Oreos into the fudge mixture. You want the cookies evenly spread throughout every bite!
6. Pour and top: Pour the fudge into your prepared pan and smooth it out into an even layer. Sprinkle the red and green M&Ms over the top, pressing them down slightly so they stick.
7. Chill: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for about 2 hours, or until the fudge has set.
8. Slice and enjoy: Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper, place it on a cutting board, and slice into 16 squares. And there you have it—Christmas Mint Oreo Fudge ready to be devoured!

Helpful Tips
- Use quality white chocolate: To avoid a grainy texture, make sure you’re using high-quality white chocolate chips.
- Chop your Oreos carefully: You want the cookie chunks to add texture, so don’t crush them too finely.
- Press the M&Ms lightly: Press them just enough so they stick but not so hard that they sink into the fudge.
Substitutions & Variations
- Peppermint twist: If you’re a fan of peppermint, swap out the vanilla extract for peppermint extract, or use peppermint-flavored M&Ms.
- Darker twist: Not into white chocolate? You could make this recipe with semi-sweet chocolate for a richer fudge. It’ll still pair beautifully with the mint Oreos!
- Add crunch: Want extra crunch? Try tossing in some crushed candy canes or chopped nuts along with the Oreos.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this fudge without a microwave?
Absolutely! You can melt the white chocolate, butter, and condensed milk in a double boiler over low heat, stirring constantly until everything is melted and smooth.
Can I freeze the fudge?
Yes! You can freeze the fudge for up to 3 months. Just make sure it’s wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored in an airtight container.
Is the mint flavor strong?
No, it’s fairly mild since we’re relying on the mint from the Oreo cookies. If you like a stronger mint flavor, just add a bit of peppermint extract in place of the vanilla.

Store your Christmas Mint Oreo Fudge in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay fresh for up to one week, but I highly doubt it’ll last that long—it’s that good!
