24 oz white chocolate chips (or melting chocolate wafers)
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon extract
A few drops yellow food coloring

Add-ins

2 cups chopped Lemon Oreos

Instructions

Prep: Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with waxed paper, allowing the paper to overhang on two opposite sides for easy removal of the fudge later.
Melt the base: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Initial microwaving: Microwave the mixture for 1 minute, then stir thoroughly to distribute the heat and start melting the chocolate evenly.

Add flavor and mix-ins: Stir in the lemon extract, yellow food coloring, and chopped Lemon Oreos, folding gently to evenly incorporate all ingredients.
Set the fudge: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and press additional chopped Lemon Oreos evenly on top for texture and decoration.
Cool and serve: Allow the fudge to cool and harden completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes

Ensure the white chocolate is melted gently to avoid burning or seizing.
You can use white chocolate melting wafers for easier melting if preferred.
Adjust the amount of lemon extract to taste for more or less tanginess.
Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Pressing additional Lemon Oreos on top adds texture and visual appeal.
