Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz.)
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced into smaller pieces
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon red food coloring (adjust to preference)
Oreo Crust and Topping
- 2½ cups crushed Oreos (about 24–28 Oreos), plus extra as desired
Instructions
- Prepare the Oreo Crust: Crush 2½ cups of Oreo cookies finely and line the bottom of a parchment-lined 8×8 inch baking dish. Press the crushed Oreos firmly to create an even crust layer.
- Make the Fudge Base: In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and butter. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly until all ingredients are melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Flavor and Color: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and red food coloring until the mixture reaches a uniform vibrant red shade.
- Assemble the Fudge: Pour the red velvet fudge mixture evenly over the prepared Oreo crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle additional crushed Oreos on top if desired for decoration and added texture.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3 hours, or until firm. Once set, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of red food coloring to achieve your preferred shade of red.
- Use full-fat unsalted butter to enhance the fudge’s creaminess.
- Make sure to crush the Oreos finely for a firm crust that holds well.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- You can substitute mini marshmallows with marshmallow fluff for a smoother texture if preferred.
