Oreo Fudge Bars

  OREO FUDGE BARS

Georgia

 

 

1 16 oz. package of Oreo cookies

1 stick butter, melted

¼ tsp. salt

1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

1 tsp. vanilla extract

¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

½ cup milk chocolate chips (could use another ½ cup semi-sweet chips if you like)

½ cup mini chocolate chips

 

Preheat the oven to 325. Line a 9x13 pan with foil and lightly spray with Pam. Set aside 6 Oreo cookies for the toppings. In a small food processor grind the rest of the cookies. If you don’t have a food processor, just pound with a rolling pin until the cookies are fine crumbs. Add the salt to the crumbs and stir to combine. Melt butter and gently stir together with the cookie crumb mixture. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Coarsely chop the remaining cookies into chunks and set aside.

 

Over a double boiler or in the microwave, melt ¾ cup semi-sweet and ½ cup milk chocolate chips together with the condensed milk and vanilla. Stir frequently until smooth. (To do this in the microwave, put in a glass bowl, and put the microwave to 50% power, and melt one minute at a time, and stir in between each minute, when it gets close to being all the way melted, just stir for a long time, and the chips will melt)

 

Spread evenly over the prepared cookie crust. Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips and Oreo cookie chunks over the top of the filling. Press down gently into the chocolate topping. Bake for 20-22 minutes in the oven. Allow to cool on counter for 1 hour. Chill in fridge until completely cold and se before cutting into bars or it will make a big mess.

 

*These aren’t very good hot from the oven, but are great after chilling and the filling has set.
