Smooth and creamy fudge packed with chocolate chip cookies and Oreo cookies. Oh– and it’s BLUE! Just like Cookie Monster 🙂
Big news (for my little world anyway)! I re-introduced dairy and chocolate back into my diet last week!! ????
I made these cookies to celebrate, and ate my way through all the butter and chocolate-filled items I’ve been missing for the past several weeks, and promptly got a stomach ache that lasted the entire weekend. And baby seems to be tolerating it pretty well, so that’s exciting! Remember how he hasn’t been sleeping? Well, I finally reached a point of desperation and decided to start feeding him a little cereal at night even though it’s a little early. And IT WORKED. He’s still waking up twice, but we’re *almost* consistently getting a 4-5 hour stretch in the beginning of the night! Woot!
Anyway. When I saw that he tolerated the cereal perfectly fine, I decided to give dairy and chocolate a try again (for me, not him of course! ????). It’s basically been amazing.
So anyway. This fudge.
I’ve had this idea rolling around in my brain for a few months, but I wanted to wait until October to post it. You know. Since it’s Cookie Monster fudge. Monsters… Halloween.. it kind of goes, right?? And how cute is it?? Or is that just me? I kept telling my husband how cute I thought this fudge was, and I think he thought that was kind of a strange way to describe blue fudge filled with cookies. ????
But really. I do kind of think it’s adorable.
I was a big Sesame Street fan as a kid, and Cookie Monster always kind of resonated with me (shocker). Have you seen these Cookie Monster Cupcakes?? Seriously. The cuteness just kills me. And that’s where the idea for this fudge came from.
I do wish I had thought to add some googly eyes…. but I didn’t. I just added lots and lots of cookies!
This is my favorite fudge recipe ever. It’s just vanilla, but I used these Wilton Candy Melts to make it blue.
Candy Melts work exceptionally well in this easy fudge recipe. They melt smoothly without seizing (you can even make this fudge in the microwave!). And since candy melts harden up so nicely, this fudge cools and hardens just enough to be the perfect fudge consistency. It doesn’t melt in your hands or get overly soft at room temperature, but it’s not too hard either. The sweetened condensed milk combines with the melting candy to soften it up just a bit so that it’s JUST RIGHT.
Plus, you get to use cute colors with melting candy (versus using chocolate chips). Of course, you don’t have to make this blue. Feel free to use white candy melts or white chocolate chips instead if you’d rather. Just be sure to use low heat on the stove top if you use white chocolate chips, otherwise they’ll burn and seize.
I think Cookie Monster usually likes chocolate chip cookies. And even though he and I are on the same page there, I added mini Oreos to this fudge as well. Because… well, Oreos. Duh. Who doesn’t want Oreos in their fudge?? Each and every bite is packed with cookies enrobed in creamy, vanilla fudginess.
I think Cookie Monster would approve.

Today’s fudge takes me back to this Oreo-filled Dark Chocolate Mint Truffle Oreo Fudge.
The recipe, roughly: Pancake mix, puffed rice, Grape-Nuts and instant coffee, with water in the mixture. The chocolate chips are made using hot glue sticks — essentially colored gobs of glue. The cookies do not have oils, fats or sugars. Those would stain Cookie Monster.
This sweet and fantastically blue flavor features sweet cream ice cream and is stuffed with a mix of chocolate sandwich cookie pieces, chocolate chip cookie pieces, and a cookie dough batter flavored swirls. Each scoop is creamy, crunchy, chewy, and perfectly satisfies those cookie cravings… until you want more!
He is known to have a mother, a younger sister, and an identically-designed cousin (who ironically does not like cookies), who all share his characteristic navy blue fur and “googly eyes.” He also has a father, who appeared in a Monsterpiece Theater sketch promoting energy conservation, water conservation and ...
In first commercials, concretely for IBM training film Coffee Break Machine and The Ed Sullivan Show in 1967, the monster had his teeth and his fur was dark green with a few brown-black patches. Later, his fur was even light purple in commercials.
First, some history: The Muppet that would eventually become known as Cookie Monster was first developed by Jim Henson in the mid-1960s for a snack commercial, where he was unofficially referred to as a “wheel stealer” due to his penchant for stealing wheel-shaped cheese crackers.
He is best known for his voracious appetite and his famous eating catchphrases, such as "Me want cookie!" As his name suggests, his preferred food is cookies; though he eats almost anything, including inedible objects.
When the blue monster first appeared on “Sesame Street” in 1969, he didn't have a name. But the producers eventually settled on “Cookie Monster” after the writers gave him a proclivity for the snack.
He is able to feed himself because his hands are simply gloves for the performer's hands, and he has a hole in his mouth that runs down the performer's sleeve. The cookies that are eaten by Cookie Monster are rice crackers that are made to look like cookies because the oils from actual cookies would damage the puppet.
He is passionate, learns from mistakes, and lives to lead others in becoming their best selves. “Elmo's personality represents what it means to be truly free,” says Rosemarie Truglio, Sesame Workshop's vice president of research.
An episode of Sesame Street featuring the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz was banned due to its scary content and complaints from parents. The episode aimed to teach kids about overcoming fears and using their manners, but it received criticism for being too intense and frightening.
He is best known for his voracious appetite and his famous eating catchphrases, such as "Me want cookie!" As his name suggests, his preferred food is cookies; though he eats almost anything, including inedible objects. Chocolate chip cookies are his favorite kind.
Cookie Monster, American television puppet character (one of the Muppets) whose appetite for cookies is legendary. Together with such characters as Oscar the Grouch, Elmo, and Big Bird, he is one of the featured creatures on the long-running children's public television series Sesame Street.
Lara MacLean, who started as an intern at the Sesame Workshop in 1992, currently bakes around two dozen cookies for each episode at her home and described them as “kind of like a dog treat,” revealing they're made from pancake mix, puffed rice, Grape-Nuts, instant coffee, and colored glue.
Ms MacLean told the newspaper that the Cookie Monster couldn't just eat any old cookie – they have to be perfectly constructed to give the illusion they disappear when decimated by the monster. The recipe consists of pancake mix, puffed rice, Grape-Nuts cereal, instant coffee and water to mix it all together.
