This cookie fudge is so much fun – it’s blooming with Easter colors and treats! There are 4 layers to this amazing dessert: Oreo cookie base + peanut butter fudge layer + caramel layer + candy topping!
It’s a perfect dessert for Easter or your Spring parties – it’s bright and springy – crispy and chocolatey. This time around we added a caramel layer – it’s so delicious and EASY!!!! This is definitely a no-bake recipe!
There’s an Oreo layer topped with a peanut butter layer and then CARAMEL! The caramel layer is made easy by using Goetze’s Caramel Creams – I always have a bag on hand! You can find these bullseye caramel creams at Walmart. They melt really easily if you just add a little cream to them.
After the caramel – you top it with all sorts of fun! I had Easter m&ms (pastel colors), found a bag of “cereal marshmallows” on an Amish store trip, peanuts and Cow Tales! You might as well add more caramel – right?
These Caramel Peanut Butter Cookie Fudge bars are so delicious and fun to decorate – you just sprinkle it all on top, pat it down a bit and then pop it in the fridge to set up a little. Dessert done! And it’s no-bake and egg-free – woohoo!

My original cookie fudge gets stepped up a notch (or 10) when you add caramel to the mix! I melted caramels and added a layer to the fudge in addition to popping some one top! #caramel #cookie #fudge #easter #peanutbutter
ingredients:
Base:
- 1 package Oreo double stuffs – separated cookies/filling
- 1/3 cup caramel creamer
Peanut Butter Layer:
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- Oreo fillings
Caramel Layer:
- 20 caramel creams
- 2 Tbsp caramel creamer
Topping:
- easter M&Ms
- colorful marshmallows from cereal (found at the amish store)
- sprinkles
- peanuts
- 2 mini cow tales – cut with scissor into little bites
instructions:
- place Oreo cookies in a ziplock bag and break them up with a mallet
- add caramel creamer and mush together until starts to stick together
- bowl 1 – peanut butter and Oreo filling – microwave for 30 seconds and stir
- microwave for another 30 seconds and stir – set aside
- bowl 2 – caramel creams and 2 Tbsp creamer – microwave for 45 seconds and stir
- microwave for another 30 seconds and stir – you’ll need to stir for at least a minute to get the creamer and caramels mixed together – then it will come together and be the perfect caramel color
- in your pan – line the pan with parchment – add Oreo mix to the bottom of the pan and spread out – it’s sticky – use a flat hand to press it – or put some press & seal on your hand and press it down – spread across bottom of parchment to fill the bottom of the pan
- get bowl 1 with peanut butter sauce – stir – if it’s hardened – microwave for 15 seconds
- pour peanut butter mix over top of oreo mix
- get bowl 2 with caramel – if it’s solidified a bit – microwave for 30 seconds and STIR
- DRIZZLE the caramel over the peanut butter mixture – it doesn’t really spread – so you want to pour it over the peanut butter mixture. pour it across the mixture to cover the peanut butter (you will have caramel left)
- add your fun toppings! sprinkle with m&ms, marshmallows, peanuts, sprinkles, cow tales (cut them with scissors)
- pat down with flat hand – press into the caramel layer so it sticks in
- reheat leftover caramel mix and lightly drizzle over the top
- place in refrigerator for two hours for everything to set up
