Cake Batter Oreo Fudge; because sometimes you need to eat lettuce and cry yourself to sleep night after night. Then there are times when you just need to shove some fat kid food in your face.
Right now, I'm trying to find a happy medium. We have decided to start a 'program' - you know, wake up early, sweat your ass off, eat better, run faster, jump higher sort of thing. I'm not sure I can handle it, but who knows. All so we can be a smidgen faster on the bikes (which really doesn't matter as long as you are still crashing into trees. Yeah, I'm hardcore).
The problem with rolling out of bed before the sun comes up and kicking my own ass, is that I get hungry. Stupid hungry. For the rest. of. the. day. Which rather defeats the point. I get all the healthy benefits, metabolism kicked up and what not. But, I could seriously chew my arm off. And when you work til close in retail, that means you pig out when you get home or on Fish McBites when no ones looking (gross). Not good. Even on my best days, I try to bring soup or grab a healthy spinach salad and I could still kill a container of hummus, a candy bar, and a bag of tortilla chips before the end of my shift then shamefully head out to Taco Tuesday after I close. Seriously, not working.
So I make some Oreo Fudge instead...
So, on days when eating like a bunny doesn't cut it, things like this happen. And they are glorious. Please, Ignore my guilt as I head back to the gym.

Cake Batter Oreo Fudge
Adapted from MyRecipes.com
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry funfetti cake batter from mix/box
- ¾ cup butter
- 14.05 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 24 oz white chocolate morsels
- 7 oz marshmallow cream
- 3 cups crushed 'Birthday' Oreos, about 25 cookies, divided
- ½ cup of rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a 9" baking pan with aluminum foil and grease.
- In a medium saucepan combine the cake batter, butter, and sweetened condensed milk over medium-high heat.
- Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in the white chocolate, marshmallow cream and 2 cups of the crushed Oreos.
- Keep stirring until everything is melted together (obviously the cookies won't be melted).
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and cover with the remaining cookies and sprinkles - pressing gently into the fudge.
- Cover and chill until firm, at least 4 hours.
- Lift from the pan and cut into small bite sized pieces. Indulge
Notes
*if there are no Birthday Oreo's on the shelves of your local market, leave, they suck. If there are none on the shelves after a three store search, substitute with classic Oreo's and extra sprinkles.

I totally understand where you're at right now! I'm training for a half marathon and after a morning run I'm starved all day! Fudge would help with the hunger and sugar is good for your brain 🙂
Erin @ The Spiffy Cookie says
I prefer to work out in the morning, because it's over and I don't have to think about it the rest of the day. But waking up before the sun comes up is difficult for me, and most of the group fitness classes I like to go to are in the evenings. But when I used to work out in the AM I had teh same problem of feeling starved all day!

Oh my goodness, Kita! This fudge sounds out of this world DELICIOUS. Love all of those oreos!
Katrina @ In Katrina's Kitchen says
This makes my heart sing. And yeah- I know the whole chewing your arm off feeling. Gah.
Nutmeg Nanny says
Oh my goodness! These are to die for, absolutely delectable.
Kim - Liv Life says
I'm debating whether I should show this recipe to Liv... she is a funfetti-aholic! She's still in those lucky years where she doesn't have to worry about the gym...
Pure awesomeness!
Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar says
Mmm this looks awesome!
Diane says
OMG - that looks so good!!! I bet that would be as addictive as the damn Brownie Brittle.
Belinda @zomppa says
This doesn't look legal! It looks simply like I MUST EAT.
Lisa says

Laurie {SimplyScratch} says

Maggie @ Vittles and Bits says
Whoa nelly... I am all about the fat kid food (except not that whole exercising part lol) and this is definitely speaking to me. Good job Kita ... way to add a little more junk to my trunk, THANKS 😉
movita beaucoup says
THAT FUDGE LOOKS EPICALLY AWESOME. I DON'T MEAN TO YELL, BUT I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE AWESOMENESS OF THE FUDGE. ALSO, ANYTHING WITH SPRINKLES INCORPORATED INTO IT IS THE BOMB.

Welcome to the lovely world of being healthy haha. Truth be told I have days like that too where I could, no joke, eat and entire bag of chips or entire pizza by myself. I find the more protein I eat, the more full I stay. I do like my bunny food but sometimes that fat kid just won't shit it.
Your goodies here are almost too much to bare (I haven't had a sweet thing since Valentine's because of Lent)!
Jennie @themessybakerblog says
What did you make? Fudge! Oreo Fudge! Oh, my inner fat kid is crying out for this. And here I was doing pretty good. That stops now.
Kim Bee says
While you're training just send all the bad stuff to me. I'll totally make good use of it.
Brian @ A Thought For Food says
HA! Well, balance is a good thing. We need the yin and the yang. I would say this is the yang, right? Not sure what that even means. Well, they just look freakin' awesome!
Cookbook Queen says
This is absolutely perfect. I'm dieting now, which sucks hardcore. I think I'm going to go walk the mall so I can justify a huge chunk of this!!
Carolyn says
Yep, exercise in the morning does have a tendency to rev up that metabolism...which is worth it, in my opinion, to get to eat THIS! 🙂
Diane {Created by Diane} says
super yummy!
shelly (cookies and cups) says
This might be the perfect food.
Russell van Kraayenburg says
How did I not know this was a think? This looks incredible!
Joanne T Ferguson says

Cheers! Joanne
