Day Three! Day Three! Fudge Week is drawing to a close. I hope you’ve had as much fun as I have. It’s been quite an honor to pair up with Gayle. Check out her fudge recipe today!
This final offering is made with white chocolate (yep, I’ve done milk and dark already this week) and it’s soft and perfectly fudgy. To be honest, I wanted to use Chanukah colors for this fudge, but guess what? Oreo doesn’t make a Chanukah variety, and Nestle doesn’t do blue chips. I had to keep the colors to Christmas. That’s okay!
But let’s focus on what’s going on here. This fudge is surrounding Oreos. And holiday chips. And it’s so decadent and delightful!
Unlike my other two fudges this week, I made this one on the stovetop. White chocolate is not chocolate, and it’s finicky. If you melt it down too much, if it gets even slightly overheated, the stuff seizes up and becomes unworkable. So I prefer to use the stove because I can stir as it melts and take it off the heat at just the right moment.
A lot of people make their white chocolate fudge with heavy cream, or marshmallow cream, or both. You can go that route, but I’ve never been into fussing. The more ingredients you put into fudge, the higher the chance of messing it up. So my trusty sweetened condensed milk and I will stay together forever!
Once your fudge base is melted and ready to go, you just barely stir in the mix-ins. Too much stirring will bring color streaks into your pretty white fudge. Maybe you want that, but I did not. Something about wintry white fudge this time of year is really appealing to me! Probably because I envision eating it under a blanket while staring out at the snow falling. And yes, it makes a great gift!
Considering it’s just kind of gray and gross outside, that’s another fantasy for another day. For now, the fudge itself will have to do. And believe me, it’ll make you happy enough!

Oops. I did it again.
Yes, just like that noteworthy song, here’s another hit for you! Because who can ever say no to a dipped Oreo? I can’t. You shouldn’t, either.
Especially when the Oreo in question is the limited edition Pumpkin Spice flavor. And I put a cute little candy pumpkin on top! Sorry, but the cuteness factor here is getting to me. I can’t resist my own creation.
This post is for a guy I work with. I’ve known him since I was a student teacher 14 years ago, back when we were both super young and perky. Now we’re old and crochety.
He just had a birthday and he loves Oreos. I see him turn down dessert a lot, which I know because I’m usually the one offering it to him. You see, he’s “trying to be good.” Have I mentioned how much I hate stigmatizing food as good or bad? Ugh. It’s food.
But anything with Oreos and this guy cannot resist. It’s like me with peanut butter cups. We all have that Achilles heel. Own it!
I want to marry this mousse. Sorry, Kenny.
The other day, I was really worn out. But since I’m not a coffee drinker, I did the next best thing: I gave myself a shot of this mousse. It’s not alcoholic, but it sure is caffeinated. Be still my heart. Nope, it’s beating too fast for that.
Not only is this the epitome of coffee and chocolate goodness, but there are also chocolate Heath bits through and through. Mousse has never tasted so incredible!
This fudge is gorgeous, Mir! I love the pretty red and green colors that surround the white chocolate. I would keep sneaking squares of this all day long! And I agree, sweetened condensed milk is the way to go. Love this one!

I’m in a love affair with sweetened condensed milk, Gayle. It’s one of my favorite baking products ever. It’s been a great week, friend! Thanks for doing this with me!
It looks beautiful, festive and delicious! I’m sure it will look awesome with Chanukah colors, hopefully they come up with them next year! Love the oreos inside! I’ve learned my lesson regarding white chocolate: always melt it on the stove top and watch it closely. Pinned!
