Hi there, and happy Friday! If you've been reading the blog this week, you know that I have been featuring a few kid-friendly recipes that provide a fun way to get your kids involved in cooking with you. On Monday I shared one of our favorite muffin recipes (Maple and Spice Yogurt Muffins) and on Wednesday we showed you a fun lunch or dinner idea (Pizzadillas). Today, it's all about the sweet treats, and it doesn't get much sweeter than this Golden Oreo Funfetti Fudge!
My father-in-law had a birthday last month, so we headed up to Northern Virginia to celebrate with the family. The boys wanted to make something for Pops, so we created this fudge recipe, which is perfectly festive for a birthday party. Between the Golden Oreos and the rainbow sprinkles, it practically looks like you squished an entire birthday cake into the little fudge squares. Oh, and it tastes delicious!
There are a few different ways that the kids can help with this recipe, including crushing the cookies with a wooden rolling pin (fun!), and mixing together the ingredients.
Have fun celebrating something sweet with your little ones, too!
Golden Oreo Funfetti Fudge
Servings 36
Ingredients
- 30 Golden Oreo cookies
- 16 oz. about 2 ⅔ cups white chocolate chips
- 1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup rainbow sprinkles plus additional for topping
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch-square baking pan with parchment paper, letting the excess paper hang over the sides.
- Seal the cookies in a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to gently crush them into chunks.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring 1 inch of water to a simmer.
- Meanwhile, stir together chocolate chips and condensed milk in a heat-safe bowl that will fit snugly over the saucepan without touching the water.
- Reduce heat to low and place the bowl over the saucepan. Stir the ingredients until smooth, about 6 minutes.
- Fold 2 cups of the crushed cookies and ¼ cup of rainbow sprinkles into the chocolate mixture, then pour it into the pan.
- Spread fudge evenly with a spatula.
- Gently press the remaining cookies and some additional rainbow sprinkles into the fudge.
- Refrigerate until firm, about 2-3 hours.
- Use the parchment to lift the fudge out of the pan, and cut into 36 pieces.

If this fudge is not kid friendly then I don't know what is. 😉 This looks so so so good! Plus, I love how easy it is...no candy thermometer needed...bonus.

kaz @ melting moments
Wow! These look fantastic! I will have to look for other Oreo varieties here to give it a go - any tips on stopping the colours from running with the sprinkles?
Blair
Hi, Kaz! I haven't had a problem with the colors running in this recipe. I think that different brands of sprinkles do better than others. I used some from my local grocery store that are called Cake Mate brand Rainbow Sprinkles. Enjoy! 🙂

Hello there! This article couldn't be written much
better! Looking through this article reminds me of my previous roommate!
He always kept preaching about this. I am going to forward this information
to him. Fairly certain he'll have a very good read.
Many thanks for sharing!
