Ingredients
- 1/2 of a 15.5 oz package of regular Oreos about 20 cookies
- 24 oz bag of white morsels
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of mint extract depending on how minty you like it
- green food coloring
Instructions
- Break the Oreos: Start by breaking about 20 Oreos into rough chunks. Don’t pulverize them into crumbs—you want nice, hearty pieces for that signature crunch. I like to leave some larger chunks for visual appeal.
- Melt the white chocolate: Pour the white morsels into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Be careful not to overheat—white chocolate can seize up if it gets too hot. (Yes, I’ve learned this the hard way!)
- Add mint and color: Quickly stir in the mint extract and a few drops of green food coloring. Work fast, as melted chocolate starts to set quickly. I always add a little coloring at a time until I hit that perfect shade of mint green.
- Mix in the Oreos: Fold the Oreo chunks into the melted chocolate, making sure every piece gets coated. This part is messy and so satisfying!
- Spread and freeze: Pour the mixture into a wax paper-lined pan and spread it out with a spatula. Don’t worry about making it perfectly even—it’s bark, after all! Pop the pan into the freezer for about two hours to set completely.
- Break into pieces: Once firm, lift the bark out of the pan and peel off the wax paper. Use your hands to break it into irregular chunks. And voilà—you’re done!
Notes
How to serve and impress
Break the bark into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a pretty holiday platter or tuck them into clear treat bags tied with ribbon for gifting. Want to go the extra mile? Sprinkle a little edible glitter on top before the chocolate sets for a touch of sparkle. This bark is perfect as a dessert centerpiece, nestled among other treats like brownies and cookies.
