Ingredients You’ll Need

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips: This rich chocolate forms the base, providing the bark’s deep flavor. Feel free to use dark chocolate for a more intense taste.
2 cups white chocolate chips: This adds a creamy sweetness that balances the bitterness of the semi-sweet chocolate. Look for high-quality white chocolate for the best results.
1 ½ cups crushed Oreo cookies (mint or double stuf): These add crunch and a delightful minty flavor. Mint Oreos will enhance the fresh taste, but double stuf works beautifully too for added creaminess.
½ cup green M&M’s: These little candies add pops of color and an extra crunch. You can switch them out for seasonal colored M&M’s to suit any celebration!
1 tbsp green sprinkles: A fun finishing touch, making your bark sparkle. Feel free to get creative and use festive sprinkles themed for any holiday.

How to Make Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark

Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a cookie baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures that your bark won’t stick and makes cleanup a breeze.

Melt the Semi-Sweet Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips at 30-second intervals. Stir after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This prevents burning the chocolate.

Spread It Evenly: Pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate onto your prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it into an even layer, covering the bottom of the sheet completely.

Add the Oreo Crust: Sprinkle the 1 ½ cups of crushed Oreo cookies evenly over the warm chocolate layer. Let it set for about 5 minutes; this helps the cookies adhere without sinking into the chocolate.

Melt the White Chocolate: In another microwave-safe bowl, repeat the melting process with 2 cups of white chocolate chips. Again, heat at 30-second intervals, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.

Pour the White Layer On Top: Carefully pour the melted white chocolate over the Oreo layer. Gently spread it to cover the Oreo pieces completely, creating a lovely contrast.

Sprinkle With M&M’s and Sprinkles: Immediately, while the white chocolate is still warm, sprinkle the ½ cup of green M&M’s and 1 tablespoon of green sprinkles on top. This is your chance to get creative, mixing up the colors as you like!

Let it Cool Completely: Allow the bark to cool at room temperature or place it in the fridge for a quicker set. It typically takes about 30-40 minutes to harden fully.

Break Into Pieces: Once the bark is set, use a knife or your hands to break it into irregular pieces. This rustic shape is part of its charm, so don’t worry about perfection.

Storing & Reheating

Store your Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark at room temperature in an airtight container for up to one week or in the refrigerator for two weeks to maintain its firmness. If you’d like to keep it longer, you can freeze the bark! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer-safe container. It can last up to 3 months in the freezer. To enjoy, simply let it thaw at room temperature and note that while the texture might change slightly, the flavor remains delightful.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

When melting chocolate, always ensure your bowls and utensils are completely dry; even a drop of water can cause chocolate to seize.
If you prefer a softer bark, reduce the amount of white chocolate and stick primarily to semi-sweet.
To enhance flavor, consider adding a few drops of mint extract to the melted chocolate for an extra minty kick.
For a fun variation, use crushed nuts or different flavored cookies to change up the toppings.

Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark is not just a delightful dessert; it’s a versatile and easy treat that can brighten anyone’s day. Make it for a gathering, serve it during a movie night, or simply indulge in it yourself. As you taste the creamy, minty, and crunchy layers, I hope this becomes a beloved recipe in your home!

Recipe FAQs

Can I make this bark gluten-free?

Absolutely! Just be sure to use gluten-free Oreo cookies, and you’re all set. The rest of the ingredients are naturally gluten-free as well.

How can I customize the colors for different holidays?

Changing the M&M’s and sprinkles – try red and green for Christmas, pastel colors for Easter, or even orange and black for Halloween. The options are endless!

What’s the best way to crush the Oreos?

You can place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin or the bottom of a pot. Alternatively, pulsing them in a food processor ensures a fine, even crumb.

Can I add other toppings?

Certainly! Feel free to add nuts, different types of candies, or even drizzles of additional chocolate for some flair. Just remember to apply them when the chocolate is still warm so they stick!
