2 cups white chocolate chips: They add sweetness and create a lovely contrast to the dark chocolate. If you want a creamier texture, opt for high-quality white chocolate bars, chopped.
1 ½ cups crushed Oreo cookies (mint or double stuf): The iconic flavor and texture of Oreos make this bark irresistible. Feel free to use regular Oreos or any other favorite cookie for a twist.
½ cup green M&M’s: These add a pop of color and crunch. To customize, think about using festive candies that match your theme—think holiday colors!
1 tbsp green sprinkles: Great for that extra festive touch! You can swap in other colors based on the occasion or your personal preference.

How to Make Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark

Line the Baking Sheet: Start by lining a cookie baking sheet with parchment paper. This step is crucial for easy removal and cleanup later on!

Melt the Semi-Sweet Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips at 30-second intervals, stirring after each session until the chocolate is completely smooth. This usually takes about 1 to 2 minutes. Take care not to overheat, as chocolate can burn easily.

Spread the Chocolate: Once your chocolate is melted and silky, pour it onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it into an even layer, making sure it reaches all corners of the pan.

Add the Oreo Cookies: Sprinkle 1 ½ cups of crushed Oreo cookies evenly over the melted chocolate. Allow this layer to set slightly for about 5 minutes so it can firm up a bit before you add the white chocolate.

Melt the White Chocolate: While the chocolate sets, place 2 cups of white chocolate chips in another microwave-safe bowl and heat using the same method (30-second intervals). Stir frequently until fully melted. It should be creamy and smooth.

Pour the White Chocolate: Carefully pour the melted white chocolate over the Oreo layer, spreading it gently with a spatula to cover the cookies evenly.

Decorate with M&M’s and Sprinkles: Immediately sprinkle ½ cup of green M&M’s and 1 tablespoon of green sprinkles on top, pressing them down slightly into the white chocolate layer so they stick.

Cool Completely: Let the bark cool completely at room temperature until firm, or you can speed this up by placing it in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes. The bark should be completely hard before you break it apart.

Break Into Pieces: Once your bark is set, take a sharp knife or your hands and break it into irregular pieces. This rustic look adds to the charm!

Storing & Reheating

To keep your Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark fresh and delicious, store it in an airtight container at room temperature. It will last for about a week, but trust me, it won’t last that long! If you want to keep it for longer, refrigeration is an option as well—just ensure it’s in a well-sealed container. You can freeze it for up to three months; simply wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer-friendly bag. When you’re ready to enjoy again, thaw in the fridge for a few hours.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

When melting chocolate, be patient! Stir frequently and never leave it unattended in the microwave.
For that perfect texture, let each chocolate layer cool slightly before adding the next. This keeps them from mixing and maintains distinct layers.
Don’t worry about making the pieces uniform; the charm of bark is its rustic look!
If you want a mintier flavor, you can mix in a few drops of peppermint extract into the melted semi-sweet chocolate.
Want to jazz it up? Incorporate nuts or dried fruit into the toppings for varied texture and flavor.

Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark is not just a festive dessert; it’s a canvas for creativity and flavor. Whether you’re making it for a special occasion or just to indulge yourself, feel free to experiment with different toppings or chocolate types! Enjoy the process and get creative with your combinations! You’ll find that every bite is a little piece of happiness that can be shared with loved ones.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate?

Absolutely! Using milk chocolate will give the bark a sweeter taste and a creamier texture. Just keep in mind it won’t have that rich contrast you get from semi-sweet chocolate.

How do I break the chocolate bark into pieces?

The best way to break the bark is to score it lightly with a knife before it’s fully set, which allows for easier breaking. Alternatively, you can simply snap it with your hands for a more rustic look.

Can I make this nut-free?

Yes! All the ingredients used are nut-free. Just double-check the labels on your white chocolate and any candies to ensure they haven’t been processed in facilities that handle nuts.

How long does the Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark last?

When stored properly in an airtight container at room temperature, the bark will stay fresh for about a week. If refrigerated, it can last a bit longer, and it can be frozen for up to three months!
