Course Dessert, Snack

Ingredients
  

  • 24 Mint Oreos cookies (about 2/3 pack)
  • 1.5 bags of white chocolate chips (12 oz bags, about 18 oz needed total)
  • sprinkles for topping

Instructions
 

  • Place your mint Oreos into a gallon sized Ziploc bag.
  • Use a rolling pin or similar to crush the Oreos into pieces (make sure to leave large chunks, picture for reference)
  • In a large microwave safe bowl, melt the white chocolate (start with 2 minutes, stir, place back in the microwave and repeat in 30 second intervals until melted completely).
  • Once melted and smooth, add your crushed Oreos to the bowl and mix gently. (Leave the tiny crumbs in the bag to keep your bark more green. Don't overmix!)*
  • Pour the mixture out onto parchment paper and gently spread in a thick layer (between 1/4" and 1/2").
  • Top with festive sprinkles!
  • Let cool for at least 1 hour until hard.
  • Once cool/hard, cut into large pieces with a knife. Then, using your hands, break into smaller pieces to your desired size.

Notes

*To keep your peppermint bark a pretty green color, here are some tips:
  1. Don't over-crush your Oreos
  2. Don't add all of the tiny cookie crumbs from the bag.
  3. Don't overmix
I've tried separating the green cream from the cookies too. I mixed the green cream with the white chocolate, and then combined with crushed cookies. The results were almost identical to crushing the Oreos together in a Ziploc, so follow the tips above to keep your bark more green instead!
