Instructions
1
Begin by lining an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, allowing the foil to hang over the sides for easy removal. Lightly butter the foil to prevent sticking.
2
In a large, heavy-duty saucepan, combine the sugar, margarine (or butter), and evaporated milk.

Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it reaches a rolling boil.

Once boiling, maintain the heat and continue to stir for an additional 3 minutes. Be vigilant to avoid scorching.
5
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly add the marshmallow crème, candy coating, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well combined and the mixture is smooth.
6
Pour half of the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
7
Sprinkle the broken Oreo cookie pieces evenly over the fudge layer, covering the entire surface.
8
Carefully pour the remaining fudge mixture over the cookie layer, smoothing it out to ensure an even top.
9
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for a while before transferring it to the refrigerator. Chill for 1 to 2 hours, or until fully set.
10
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the overhanging foil. Gently peel away the foil from the fudge.
11
Use a large knife to cut the fudge into squares, ensuring clean edges. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
