Easy to make and deliciously sweet, this cookies and cream fudge recipe is a seasonal staple around the Holidays. Great DIY gift for foodies!

Every year, there are certain goodies you make exclusively around Christmas-time. Our list includes iced sugar cookies, the infamous peanut butter blossoms, and one more recent addition — cookies and cream fudge. YUM.

My sister-in-law shared this recipe with me a few years ago and I have been indebted to her ever since. I’m normally a chocolate and peanut butter girl when it comes to fudge, but just in case you crave something a bit different, this recipe needs to be on your list of runner-ups.

The white chocolate is divine, and crushed Oreos taste good sprinkled on just about anything. And even though this isn’t really a cooke, per se, you could totally take it along to this year’s cookie exchange. I’m pretty sure no one will mind!

How to Make Cookies and Cream Fudge

Step 1: Line an 8×8 baking dish with foil, and grease with cooking spray. But if you ditched the cooking spray like I did a few months ago, just use shortening smeared onto a bit of wax paper, and rub onto the foil. Works just as well!

Step 2: Crush 16 Oreo cookies into chunks, not crumbs, and sprinkle half onto the bottom of the dish.

Step 3: Combine sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, and butter in a small saucepan, and stir on low heat until melted. Be really careful about burning the white chips, they can turn brown rather quickly if the heat is too high.

Oh, and lest you think you can get away with just one 16 oz bag of white chips, you can’t. I tried this out of pure laziness so I didn’t have to run to the grocery store again, and my whole batch turned into a caramelized, gooey mess that never hardened.

So learn from my mistake and use the 2 2/3 cups the recipe calls for!

Step 4: Remove pan from heat and stir in vanilla, then pour over cookies in baking pan. Sprinkle the rest of crushed cookies on top and chill for about 3-4 hours until hardened.

Step 5: Once the fudge is full set, cut into small square or rectangles. These shapes won’t be perfect because of the cookie chunks, but I think that’s what gives this fudge it’s homemade charm! Store in the fridge up to one week, or freeze up to 3 months.

Total Cost: $5.59/batch or $.11/serving

Even though it might seem like there are a lot of expensive ingredients in this recipe — sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and Oreos — it’s still much cheaper to make at home than if you grabbed a pound or two of fudge at a specialty candy shop.

I do wish I could be more specific about how many pounds of fudge one 8″ pan makes, but alas, I don’t have a kitchen scale! Otherwise, I could really compare costs. So, if you ever decide to make this and do have a scale, or are a whiz at math, please let me know in the comments below how much you think this makes.

I’m terrible with numbers in the kitchen!

    I feel like this is a cruel thing to send on a Monday morning! Now I want fudge for breakfast and I am going to have to settle for apples and cashew butter.

What’s one thing you budget for that other peopl
What’s one thing you budget for that other people might not? I always find those interesting. 😃⁣ ⁣ You might have a mortgage. I budget for campgrounds. You might want a separate clothing budget, while I’m fine combining it under “Beauty and Style.” Recently, we also added a new line item for our motorcycle—something I NEVER thought would appear in our budget. ⁣ ⁣ See, we’re all different! ⁣ ⁣ Recently, I rearranged my budget categories and created this “cheat sheet.” Sometimes I forget where things go, like picking up new wall art for the living room. Does this item belong in the categories of Household Items or Home Maintenance? 🤔⁣ ⁣ Now I know! And I save time processing receipts each Friday. 🧾⁣ ⁣ What budgeting categories do you use? Share one of your random budget line items with me in the comments below! 😃

I call 2020 the Year of Abandoned Books. ⁣ ⁣ I’m never afraid to stop reading a book if it doesn’t live up to the hype. Why invest more time in a book I’m not all that excited about when I could be exploring new authors and storylines where I can’t wait to turn the page? 🤷⁣ ⁣ But in 2020, I let more books go than I normally do. I suppose my patience dwindled when I thought the world was ending. Not that I thought the world was actually ending…but you know what I mean. 😉⁣ ⁣ As an Enneagram 1, I hate giving up on a book. I’m prone to the all-or-nothing mentality, even in my reading habits. My eyes could glaze over boring prose and I’d still repeat to myself: “You MUST finish this book!” 😫⁣ ⁣ Why? ⁣ ⁣ No one is adding a plastic star to your Book-It pin, (Remember those?) This isn’t assigned reading from your high school English class. This is YOUR reading life. ⁣ ⁣ And YOU should choose what books deserve your attention. 📚⁣ ⁣ There are too many good ones out there anyway. Like one of my favorite reads from 2020. 😍⁣ ⁣ This week’s newest blog post rounds up everything I read last year (43 books total!) including 5-star psychological thrillers, a delightful royal series, a couple self-help books, and of course, historical fiction.⁣ ⁣ Click the link in my bio to read it! ☝⁣ ⁣ What were your favorite books in 2020? Our literary styles might be a match made in heaven! ✨

My planner/journal lineup for 2021. 👆 ⁣ ⁣ These small but mighty sidekicks will be my saving grace this year. 📚⁣ ⁣ 1️⃣ Bullet Journal (Blue) - for everyday planning and goal setting⁣ 2️⃣ Regular Journal (Yellow) - to track gratitude (5 things a day!) and to process ALL the feelings⁣ 3️⃣ Growth Journal (Sand) - a space for me to brain dump everything I learn from books, podcasts, sermons, etc ⁣ ⁣ That last one is new to me as of this year and I can't wait to flip back through all my notes come December! 📆⁣ ⁣ What planners/journals are you using for 2021?

Self-care is just as important as making your famo
Self-care is just as important as making your famous sugar cookies this holiday season. 🍪⁣ ⁣ Because let’s be real. ⁣ ⁣ That Hallmark-esque Christmas magic disappears the moment disagreeable family members annoy you. Or when you feel irritable over too many late nights and little-to-no sleep. Or when expectations over meals and traditions and social activities fall short and leave you feeling disappointed. 😬⁣ ⁣ But instead of dwelling on these stressful moments and using them as an excuse to completely disconnect from reality (as I’m often tempted to do!), view them as an opportunity for you to respond with poise. 💞⁣ ⁣ ➕ Journal your feelings. ⁣ ➕ Go for a walk. ⁣ ➕ Prioritize what’s essential. ⁣ ➕ Remember to breathe.⁣ ➕ And try not to eat your feelings…okay?⁣ ⁣ Here’s your permission slip if you need one: You don’t need to do or participate in everything! Take a time out when you need it. 🙌⁣ ⁣ That’s the best way you can protect your emotional well-being over the next few days.⁣ ⁣ Merry Christmas, friends! 🎄


I know you’re ready for this year to be over. 🙋‍♀️ The last twelve months brought so many hard things into our lives—relationships were lost, our country became more broken and divided than ever, and oh yeah, we walked through a pandemic too. 🦠 🤯 No biggie, right? Ha! 😅 And while it’s easy to look back and wish we could skip 2020 altogether (or at least insist on a do-over), I don’t want this year to be the one where the hard overcame the good. 💕 Just as hard days don’t mean ruined days, hard years don’t mean ruined years. 2020 can still be good. 💪 For me, I want to remember the fun and exciting things we did. The adventures we had. The new shows we watched, and the books we read. The new life hacks and things I discovered that made my life easier or just brought me joy. 💞 You’ll find it all in my latest blog post (link in profile). If you still need to buy a gift for a loved one (or for yourself!), you’ll find plenty of fun and affordable ideas to fill up the rest of your gifting list. 📦 Otherwise, enjoy a stroll down the good side of 2020’s memory lane and leave your favorite things in the comments so I can try them. 👋


Pro minimalism tip: Use double-duty appliances. 🤯⁣ ⁣ With limited kitchen space, I have to be super careful about what appliances we invite into the RV. We already had an Instant Pot, Ninja Blender, and a Food Processor. But I really wanted an air-fryer! ⁣ ⁣ With no place to put it, I discovered that Instant Pot made a dual instant pot/air-fryer product. So I gave my instant pot away, and my mom bought me this one for an early Christmas present. I’ve only played with it a couple of times but I’m already in love! 💕⁣ ⁣ Kale chips...sweet potato fries...broccoli. I’m basically an air-frying queen now. And I can easily switch back to the instant pot whenever I want. Yay for two appliances in one! 🥳⁣ ⁣ Q: What is your favorite appliance to use? Is it double duty? 🤔
