This tasted great, but didn’t melt creamy in the crock pot. It was kind of curdled or something.

Ok, I am never making fudge with sweetened condensed milk again. It doesn’t set up. It’s a gooey mess.
Oreo Fudge
16 reduced fat Oreos
12 oz white chocolate chips
12 oz fat free sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla
Line an 8×8 pan with foil. Crumble 8 of the cookies and add to the prepared pan. Melt chips and milk together—either in microwave or in a medium saucepan on the stovetop. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Combine well and pour into pan. Top with remaining crumbled cookies. Refrigerate to set (which it won’t). 😦
