Ingredients for Peanut Butter Oreo Fudge Cups

Here’s what you’ll need:

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus a few extra if you like a super chocolatey fudge!)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (use your favorite brand, smooth is best here)
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk (this is the magic that makes it fudgy!)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (don’t skip this, it rounds out the flavor beautifully)
1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 10-12 regular Oreos, crushed into fine crumbs)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (just to help the Oreo crumbs stick together)

Seriously, that’s it! If you’re looking for other simple recipes, you might love these 5-ingredient peanut butter brownies. They’re a lifesaver on busy days!

Equipment Needed for Peanut Butter Oreo Fudge Cups

Okay, so you don’t need a whole professional kitchen setup for these bad boys. Most of what you’ll need is probably already hiding in your drawers! You’ll definitely want a mini muffin tin – that’s key for getting those perfect little cups. Make sure you have some cute paper liners to go in them, too. You’ll also need a couple of microwave-safe bowls for melting everything together, and a small bowl for your Oreo base. Oh, and don’t forget a spoon or spatula for stirring and measuring cups and spoons for, well, measuring!

Crafting Your Perfect Peanut Butter Oreo Fudge Cups

Now for the fun part – actually putting these delicious little treats together! It’s honestly super straightforward, and the payoff is SO worth it. I find the whole process kind of therapeutic, to be honest. You’ll have these ready to chill in no time, and trust me, your taste buds will thank you. If you love Oreos like I do, you’ll probably adore this Oreo dump cake too!

Preparing the Base

First things first, let’s get that yummy Oreo crust ready to go. Grab your mini muffin tin and carefully line it with paper liners. This is like setting up the perfect little stage for our stars! In a small bowl, toss your crushed Oreos – I like to get them pretty fine, almost like sand – with that tablespoon of melted butter. Give it a good stir until all those cookie crumbs are nicely coated. It should look a bit like damp sand. Then, just spoon about a teaspoon of this mixture into the bottom of each liner and press it down gently. This forms your delicious, crunchy base! Don’t worry if it’s not perfectly even; a little rustic charm is totally fine.

Creating the Fudge Layer

Next, we whip up that incredible chocolate-peanut butter fudge. This is where the magic really happens! Grab a microwave-safe bowl and toss in your semi-sweet chocolate chips, that creamy peanut butter, and the sweetened condensed milk. Now, here’s the trick: microwave it in 30-second bursts, stirring really well in between each burst. You don’t want to scorch the chocolate, so patience is key! Keep going until it’s all melted and super smooth. You’re looking for a luscious, glossy texture. Once it’s perfectly smooth, stir in the vanilla extract – it just adds that extra layer of deliciousness that makes these so irresistible, and it really makes the chocolate flavor pop, kind of like in my gooey chocolate recipe. Make sure you stir until it’s completely combined and looks absolutely divine.

Assembling and Chilling

Okay, we’re almost there! Now you’ll take about a tablespoon of that glorious chocolate-peanut butter fudge mixture and spoon it right on top of your Oreo crust in each liner. Try to get an even amount in each cup. Smooth it out just a little with your spoon if you like, but don’t stress over perfection. Once they’re all filled, it’s time for the hardest part: waiting! You need to pop these into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This is crucial for letting that fudge firm up properly. You want them to be nice and solid when you bite into them, not all melty. You’ll know they’re ready when they feel firm to the touch.

Tips for Perfect Peanut Butter Oreo Fudge Cups

Alright, so you’ve got the recipe, the ingredients, and you’re ready to go! But just in case you want to make these Peanut Butter Oreo Fudge Cups absolutely *perfect* every single time, here are a few little tricks I’ve picked up. It’s all about those small details, you know?

First off, don’t skimp on quality chocolate! Using good semi-sweet chocolate chips that you actually *like* the taste of will make a huge difference. And for the Oreos, make sure they’re finely crushed. If you have a food processor, that’s your best friend here. If not, just pop them in a sturdy zip-top bag and go to town with a rolling pin! A finer crumb makes for a smoother, more cohesive base. Also, if you find your fudge mixture is a bit too thick after melting, just add another tiny splash of condensed milk, maybe half a tablespoon, until it reaches that luscious, pourable consistency. Sometimes my microwave runs a little hotter, so I have to adjust! It’s similar to how I make my no-bake peanut butter oat cups – little adjustments make all the difference!

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

Let’s talk ingredients for a sec! You don’t have to stress if you don’t have *exactly* what’s listed, because these cups are pretty forgiving. For the peanut butter, creamy is usually best for that smooth fudge texture, but if you love a little crunch, feel free to use crunchy! You could also totally swap out the semi-sweet chocolate chips for milk chocolate if you prefer things a bit sweeter, or even dark chocolate if you like a more intense flavor. For the Oreos, honestly, any flavor works! Mint Oreos would be amazing, or even those golden ones for a different vibe. The sweetened condensed milk is pretty essential for that fudgy texture, so try not to swap that out if you can help it!

Storing Your Peanut Butter Oreo Fudge Cups

Once these little beauties are firm and ready, you’ll want to keep them fresh! Just pop them into an airtight container. Seriously, any old container with a lid will do, just make sure it seals well. I like to keep mine in the refrigerator because they’re just heavenly cold, and that keeps them from getting too soft. They’ll stay delicious for about a week, maybe even a little longer if you can resist eating them all!

Frequently Asked Questions about Peanut Butter Oreo Fudge Cups

Got questions? I’ve got answers! These Peanut Butter Oreo Fudge Cups are pretty simple, but it’s always good to know a few extra things. If you want to dive even deeper into making them, check out my full guide here!

Can I use different types of Oreos?

Oh, absolutely! That’s one of the best parts. Mint Oreos, golden Oreos, even seasonal ones would be fantastic. Just make sure they’re crushed well for that perfect base!

How do I get clean edges on my fudge cups?

It helps to let the fudge firm up in the fridge for a bit longer. Sometimes, gently running a small, sharp knife around the edge before trying to lift them out can help too. If the edges are a little messy, no worries, a drizzle of extra chocolate or some extra crushed Oreos on top can hide anything!

Can I freeze these Peanut Butter Oreo Fudge Cups?

You sure can! They freeze really well. Just make sure they’re completely firm, then layer them between sheets of parchment paper in an airtight container. They should keep their yummy texture for about 2-3 months in the freezer. Just let them thaw a bit at room temperature (or in the fridge) before you dig in!
