The Best Peanut Butter Fudge with Oreos

I have been making this delicious peanut butter fudge with Oreos for years. I call it the “Parent Trap fudge”. If you know, you know! Even though Oreo and peanut butter fudge can be enjoyed all year round, I especially love making it at Christmas. It is perfect for a dessert table or wrapped in a cute plastic bag with a festive ribbon. This fudge truly melts in your mouth, and it is almost impossible to stop at just one piece.

I promise that after December, I will be bringing all the fresh and healthy recipes back to the blog. I just love baking all the cozy and delicious treats during the Christmas season.

You can also make this recipe without the Oreos, especially if you already have all of the ingredients on hand in your pantry.

Peanut butter and Oreos just go together. When I was a kid, I was heavily influenced by The Parent Trap, and my best friend and I would snack on Oreos with peanut butter after school. This fudge takes that classic combo to the next level.

Peanut Butter Oreo Fudge Ingredients:

Granulated cane sugar
Whole milk
Unsalted butter
Marshmallow creme
Peanut butter
All purpose flour
Family size double stuffed Oreos
Sea salt

How to Make the Best Peanut Butter Fudge

Line a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with parchment paper. If you do not have parchment paper, generously grease the dish with cooking spray or butter.

Crumble 8 to 10 Oreos and sprinkle them evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Set aside. Crush the remaining Oreos and place them in a bowl.

Add the sugar, butter, and milk to a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a full boil. You will know it is fully boiling when the bubbles reach the center of the pan, not just the edges.

Once the mixture reaches a full boil, start a timer for five minutes and continue stirring. When the timer goes off, immediately remove the saucepan from the heat.

Quickly stir in the peanut butter and marshmallow cream. The peanut butter will melt faster than the marshmallow cream, so it is fine if there are still a few marshmallow pieces at first.

Immediately mix in the crushed Oreos, reserving a small amount for the top, along with the flour. The fudge will thicken quickly. As soon as the flour is fully incorporated, transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.

Spread the fudge evenly using a greased metal spoon. Sprinkle the top with the remaining Oreo crumbles and a pinch of sea salt.

Let the fudge cool at room temperature for one hour before slicing.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Cups Granulated Cane Sugar
  • 1 Cup Whole Milk
  • 1 Stick Unsalted Butter
  • 7 Ounces Marshmallow Creme
  • 1 1/2 Cups Peanut Butter
  • 2/3 Cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Family Size Double-Stuffed Oros
  • 1 Pinch Sea Salt

Instructions
 

  • Line a 9 x 13-inch dish with parchment paper.
    NOTE: If you do not have parchment paper, spray with cooking or butter.
  • Crumble 8 to 10 Oreos at the bottom of the baking dish on top of the parchment paper. Set aside.
    Crush the rest of the Oreos and place them in a bowl.
  • Add the sugar, butter, and milk into a saucepan and keep stirring until you bring the mixture to a complete boil.
    NOTE: It will look like the mixture is boiling along the sides, but it will not be boiling until the bubbles reach the center.
    Once the mixture is completely boiling, set a timer for 5 minutes, and continue to stir. When the timer goes off, turn off the heat.
  • Quickly add in the peanut butter and marshmallow cream.
    NOTE: The peanut butter will melt faster than the fluff, so do not worry if there are still large pieces of marshmallows in the fudge.
    Quickly mix in the crushed Oreos (leaving a few to crumble over the top) and the flour. The fudge will start to thicken immediately. As soon as the flour is incorporated, instantly transfer it to the baking dish, and top it with Oreo crumbles and a pinch of sea salt.
    NOTE: Use a greased metal spoon for spreading.
    NOTE: It helps to keep all the ingredients pre-measured and next to the boiling pot to make sure you have enough time to add in all the ingredients.
  • Allow the fudge to cool for one hour at room temperature.
