Easy Oreo Fudge Bars

Alright folks, if you’re on the hunt for a sweet treat that somehow manages to be both ridiculously easy and impressively indulgent, buckle up. These Easy Oreo Fudge Bars are like little square bites of cookie-crumble heaven. Honestly, they’re the kind of dessert you whip up when you want all the comfort with none of the fuss. Perfect for those nights when you need a sugary hug on the couch.

I stumbled upon this sweet concoction when I realized we had a surplus of Oreos — thanks to my husband’s very precise habit of buying them every week without checking if we still had some left in our wildly disorganized pantry. These fudge bars quickly became our “oh heck, the guests are at the door, and we forgot dessert” go-to. My little family loves ‘em dearly, though I suspect it’s as much about the taste as it is our impromptu dance parties in the kitchen while they set in the fridge.

Why You’ll Love This Easy Oreo Fudge Bars

– Seriously, they require basically no cooking skills. As in, if you can stir, you’re in.
– Oreo-on-Oreo action — need I say more? It’s like Oreos, but fancy.
– My kids can’t tell if they are homemade or from the fanciest bakery in town. Well, they think it’s the latter.

How to Make It

Okay, let’s cut to the chase. Smash those Oreos like they hurt your feelings. Get them nice and crumbly. Melt some butter — but don’t burn it, like I did once. Mix it into those crushed beauties and press it all into the lined pan you probably almost forgot to prepare. For the fudge, melt some chocolate chips with a little condensed milk. Stir like you mean it until it’s all warm and gooey. You want that sexy, smooth consistency that you just know will set beautifully. Spread it over your glorious Oreo base. For the love of fudge, toss some extra crushed Oreos on top for that dramatic flair. Refrigerate (if you can stand to wait), then devour.

Ingredient Notes

– Oreos: The star. I mean, if you’re using those imitations, they won’t know but your taste buds will.
– Butter: Type does matter here. Get the real deal — salted if you live on the edge like us.
– Chocolate Chips: Things get wild here — milk, dark, or semi-sweet. Your call. My mood swings with it.

Recipe Steps

1. Crush Oreos into crumbs.
2. Melt butter and mix with Oreo crumbs.
3. Press mixture into pan.
4. Melt chocolate chips with condensed milk.
5. Spread fudge mixture over Oreo base.
6. Top with extra Oreo crumbs and refrigerate.

What to Serve It With

Make it a triple-threat by serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.

Tips & Mistakes

The softer the butter you start, the less chance you have at the beginning of a smoke alarm situation. Trust me.

Storage Tips

These fudge bars are totally fine stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Leftovers (as if) taste shockingly good straight from the fridge at 7 a.m., but hey, no judgment here.

Variations and Substitutions

Play around with the layers. Maybe swap out Oreos for some other cookie that’s hiding at the back of your pantry, though do it at your risk — and maybe keep it to yourself if it doesn’t go as planned. If the cupboard is looking various kinds of bare, I’ve even used crushed pretzels for a salty twist.
