Only Needs 5 Ingredients
This recipe requires only 5 ingredients that can be easily found in your local grocery store. See the recipe card at the bottom of this page for quantities and full instructions.
- Regular Oreos - other types of Oreos can also be used
- White Chocolate Chips - sub candy melts if desired
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips - can substitute milk chocolate if preferred
- Coconut Oil - sub vegetable oil if needed
- Crushed Candy Canes - use candy mints if candy canes cannot be found
How to Make It
STEP 1: Start by lining a sheet pan or baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper, and set aside.
STEP 2: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil on medium low heat in a saucepan.
STEP 3: Pour the melted chocolate chips on the bottom of the parchment lined baking sheet. Be sure to make one even layer, and spread it completely.
STEP 4: Carefully place 30 of the Oreos on top of the melted chocolate in 5 columns and 6 rows. Place chocolate bark in the freezer for about 10 minutes to set.
STEP 5: While the bottom part of the bark is setting, melt white chocolate chips with the rest of the oil in a saucepan over medium low heat. Pour white chocolate over chocolate bark, completely covering the Oreos and the bottom layer.
STEP 6: Crush the remaining 5 Oreos and sprinkle them on top of the white chocolate. Crush candy canes and sprinkle them on top of Oreos.
STEP 7: Freeze the entire cookie sheet for about 10 minutes, or until solid. Score the top and cut into 24 pieces.
Microwave Instructions
The chocolate can also be melted in the microwave if preferred. Use a microwave-safe bowl to melt the chips on medium heat in 30 second intervals, stirring well until completely smooth.
Variations
- Want it extra chocolatey? Add a layer of melted dark chocolate chips.
- Customize with other toppings like sprinkles or mini marshmallows.
- Use candy melts instead of chocolate chips.
- Substitute any type of generic Oreos, including the thin kind, or another flavor like vanilla or mint. The only type that won't work are Double Stuff Oreos because they may be too tall for the white chocolate to cover them completely.
- Use hard peppermint candies (like Starlight Mints) instead of candy canes for the peppermint flavor if you can't find candy canes.
What to Serve with Oreo Peppermint Bark
- Hot Chocolate - A mug of pumpkin spice hot cocoa is a great side kick!
- Cookies - Oreo bark goes well with walnut snowball cookies
- Cake - Try this hot cocoa poke cake with peppermint bark crushed on top!
Helpful Tips
- Scoring the bark before cutting it helps ensure the bark breaks cleanly.
- If you'd rather melt the chips in the microwave, be sure to do it in 30-second increments.
Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If there's any left, store it in the refrigerator.
You can freeze peppermint bark Oreos in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature when ready to serve.
