Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 24 ounces blue candy melts (4 cups, approximately 2 bags)
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
- 1 cup broken cookies and mini Oreos
- 1 tablespoon candy eyes
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8-inch square baking pan with lightly greased parchment paper or non-stick foil to prevent sticking. Set aside for later use.
- Melt the Candy: Place the blue candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 70% power for 90 seconds. Stir well to use the residual heat to melt the candy slowly, preventing burning. If the candy isn’t fully melted, microwave in additional 15-second increments, stirring each time, until completely smooth.
- Mix in Condensed Milk: Stir the sweetened condensed milk into the melted candy mixture until fully combined and smooth.
- Assemble the Fudge: Pour the candy mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the broken cookies and mini Oreos over the top along with the candy eyes, pressing them gently into the fudge so they stick.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the fudge for about 2 hours until it is firm enough to cut. Once set, remove from the pan and cut into squares for serving.
Notes
- Use candy melts specifically designed for melting to achieve a smooth texture.
- Microwave times may vary; stir often to avoid overheating the candy melts.
- Press the cookies and candy eyes firmly into the fudge before chilling to help them adhere.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for best freshness.
- Try using different colored candy melts for themed variations.
