Step 1: Prepare the Pan
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring that the paper hangs over the edges for easy removal later.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.

Pour the Oreo fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the bottom.
