Peppermint Bark from Mint Oreos
This peppermint bark recipe from mint Oreos is an easy, impressive, and quick holiday treat. It is always a crowd pleaser at parties and makes a great gift for friends and family!
- 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
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.
*To keep your peppermint bark a pretty green color, here are some tips:
- Don't over-crush your Oreos
- Don't add all of the tiny cookie crumbs from the bag.
- 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!
