Cookies & Cream Fudge ~ #SundaySupper
Creamy, sweet white chocolate fudge loaded with crushed Oreo cookie pieces.
This week the #SundaySupper team is celebrating recipes inspired by our favorite holiday movies and music.
During the entire month of December, there’s an endless loop of holiday films playing on the tube and Jingle Bells blasting from my iPod. I can happily watch the same holiday films over and over without complaint.
I’ll proudly admit that I’m the annoying gal with too much Christmas cheer each year… Unless, of course, you find me in a long line at the Walmart with granny checking customers out at a pace slower than a fat slug. Then you’ll here me whine, complain, and a guffaw like an annoying 2 year old that was forced to Christmas shop from dawn until dusk.
I drive Squirrel nuts! He likes the holidays well enough, but I tend to take holiday cheer to the extreme. I get, “Why are we putting all this junk up just to take it down in 2 weeks.”
What we? There is no we, people. It’s all me. I climb the attic stairs and drag the Christmas boxes down. I put the decorations up. I bake the cookies, fudge, and macaroni and cheese. I hang the stockings with care. Then, I take down the decorations, clean up the dishes, and gently place the stockings back in their rightful box until next year.
We—psht! I’m lucky he carts the for-reals tree out the door for trash pick-up. Don’t let that handsome face fool you. It’s all me.
I have several favorite Christmas films, but there are two I absolutely love and make a point to watch every year: The Santa Clause and Elf.
Will Farrel is my man. Seriously, the man is hilarious. I own almost all of his films and watch them over and over. I pulled an Elf move and added a bunch of sugary cookies to a bowl of white chocolate for a delicious holiday treat.
The base is a mixture of melted white chocolate, butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Mix it all up and stir in a ton of crushed chocolate chips, and you have yourself thick, creamy fudge.
The cream cheese creates a velvety base for the cookies and helps balance out the sweetness of the white chocolate and powdered sugar. This cookies & cream fudge is melt-in-your-mouth good.
The crushed Oreos add a chocolatey crunch.
Cookies & Cream Fudge
Creamy, sweet white chocolate fudge loaded with crushed Oreo cookie pieces.
Ingredients:
3 cups white chocolate chips, melted and cooled
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
26 Oreo cookies, crushed
Directions:
Line a 9-by-13-inch pan with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment with baking spray or grease with butter.
In the bowl of your stand mixer attached with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla and mix until combined. Slowly add the powdered sugar until thoroughly combined. Mix in the melted chocolate until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
Stir in the crushed Oreo pieces.
Spread the mixture evenly into your prepared pan. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Cut into 1-inch cubes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

I couldn’t wait to see your Elf inspired fudge recipe since I also made fudge for Elf. Great minds :). This looks awesome! Love The Santa Clause too; in fact I just watched it last night!
Squirrel and I watched The Santa Clause last night, too. I think this is my third time watching that movie this season. I love it! Thanks!
First, your fudge is incredible. I’d find myself going back to the plate time and time again.
Second, you made me laugh with “slow as a fat slug” and how there’s no we – because it’s the same here. It’s all me doing the decorations.
I’m happy to hear that I made you laugh, Renee. I almost didn’t add that part for fear that I would offend someone. Thanks!
I have been waiting fur your post! So pretty and tasty. Can’t wait to try them out!
Thank you so much, Krayl.
First of all, your site looks amazing. Second, this fudge is just fabulous and lastly… you could never be that annoying gal! Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thank you for being such a big part of the #SundaySupper family!
Thank you so much, Isabel! You are so sweet. I am honored and blessed to be part of such an amazing online family.

I think Elf would fall in love with you if you presented him with this fudge! Looks incredible and I know how you feel I’m always the one pushing to decorate too.
That fudge is absolutely gorgeous and so Christmassy! I have too much Christmas cheer too, especially when watching Elf :)

I feel the same way about the decorations! My girls beg me to get everything out and decorate but it is so much work! Then no one wants to help put everything away!
This is going on my fuggy roundup list! Merry Christmas, Jennie!
As you already know, I love Oreo fudge, so I’ll take a big bowl of this and eat them like popcorn ;)
I always have to watch White Christmas and Elf…..but I do love Santa Claus:-) I have a serious love for fudge, and would devour this treat VERY fast! Your recipe looks so delicious, Hugs, Terra
Thanks, Terra! My fudge love knows no bounds. Happy New Year!
What a great recipe. I love the cream cheese and cookies in it. This would loook very impressive to take to a friends house during the holidays.
Thanks, Shannon!
Now I am really craving fudge after seeing so many of you posting it for your Sunday Supper recipes!!! Cookies and cream flavored things is kind of my weakness; these wouldn’t last a day in my house!
My fudge cravings run deep. Thanks, Shaina!

I looove fudge and this variation on the traditional version looks SO good. Wish I could have some right now!
Thanks, Amy!
Oh, my husband will love this fudge! He is all about Oreos! I hope you have a Merry Christmas, Jennie!!
Thanks, Jess!
Haha! This post cracked me up! The Mr. usually helps me with holiday decorating but this year he’s on crutches so I feel your pain! And I’m so glad everyone else seems to love Elf as much as I do. It’s a classic in my opinion!
Love me some Elf, Courtney. I hope your hubs feels better soon. Thanks!
Wow! What a creative recipe for fudge and it looks amazing! Happy Holidays!
Thanks, Martin!

Can you believe I’ve never seen Elf? It’s crazy. Although if we’re talking about Will Ferrell, I have to give a big shout out to Step Brothers. I know it’s probably more of a “guy movie,” but it just makes me laugh so hard every time!
Love this fudge! I’d be nervous to be alone with a plate of it, that’s for sure.
You need to see it, Lori. It’s hilarious. Oh my, Step Brothers is my jam. Thank you!
Perfect recipe for Elf fans! My favorite scene in Elf is where Zooey and Will are singing, “Baby It’s Cold Outside”. Gets me in the Christmas spirit every time! We love watching our favorite Christmas films over and over throughout the season…both vintage and new. Thanks for sharing, my friend. Pinning (of course)! Warmest wishes to you and yours for a meaningful and joyous Christmas holiday! xo
I could seriously watch Elf over and over. Zooey has such a beautiful voice. Thanks for pinning!
My gosh, these hunks of cookie lovin are melting in my mouth! They look so good! What a perfect treat to share with family over the holidays/covet to myself behind closed doors ;)
Thanks, Julia!
WHOA: so that was a big one/two punch for me, because first? Cookies and cream fudge that i would obviously eat a mountain of. forever.
second, WEBSITE! am i being stupid or is this a total beautiful makeover?!? have i just been so behind that this happened weeks ago? it’s gorgeous, jennie. please tell me i’m not a fool and that this just happened. :)
Thanks, Shannon! I made three batches of fudge because everyone kept asking for more. You’re no fool; it’s a brand new shiny design. I want to live in it. Is that weird?
yay for Christmas spirit! Michael always tries to act like he has none, but once I’m excited and we’re decorated, he gets excited too :P
and I loooove this fudge-I adore cookies and cream everything!
Those boys. Thanks, Kayle!

I love fudge and Oreo the most. Reading your story behind your recipe. Great. I found your blog through Recipe Girl recommendation. Happy New Year. Best Regards
Hi, RosSumiati! Welcome to my home on the Interwebs. Lori is such a great gal. Thank you for the lovely compliment. I hope to see you back soon.
Ahhh, this fudge!! It looks awesome.
Pinned.
Thanks, Abbie!
YUM! This fudge looks to die for! And yes…why do men complain about that stuff even though they really don’t help??
Thanks, Julie. I think they just like to complain ;)
Damnit, I wish I wasn’t so behind on my blog reading because I would have SO made this recipe as part of my Christmas goodies this year! Love the addition of cream cheese. Totally pinning this :)
This recipe looks delicious! I can’t wait to try it as I love anything made with Oreos. Stupid question- Is that a backdrop you are using that just looks like wood?
Thanks so much, Lisa! That particular back drop is made with individual planks of wood that have been painted and sanded to make them look rustic. Squirrel (my hubs) was nice enough to make them for me.

Can you use a regular hand mixer? I don’t have a standing mixer.
Hi Brittany! Thanks for stopping by. A hand mixer will work perfectly for this recipe. Happy candy making!
I had a block of cream cheese and three blocks of white chocolate leftover from Christmas ingredients that I needed to use up, and this recipe happened to match those quantities exactly. And WOW, it was so yummy! It tastes like cookies and cream ice cream! We brought it to a NYE gathering and it ended up being the only dessert there so luckily it made two decent trays worth of fudge and it all got devoured, with lots of compliments!
Yummy, these look so delicious!
It looks awesome.
I loooove this fudge-I adore cookies and cream everything!
It looks awesome. Pinned.
It looks awesome – thanks Jennie
