Cuisine: American

Ingredients 🛒

12 oz white chocolate (high-quality like Ghirardelli or Lindt)
10 Oreo cookies, roughly crushed
½ teaspoon peppermint extract (optional, but adds extra flavor)
¼ cup crushed peppermint candy (candy canes or peppermint bark)

Optional Toppings:

Drizzle of melted dark chocolate
Extra crushed Oreos
Sprinkles for a festive touch

How to Make Oreo Peppermint Bark 🍫

Step 1: Melt the White Chocolate

In a heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Stir in the peppermint extract if using.

Step 2: Mix in the Oreos

Gently fold in crushed Oreos, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the chocolate.

Step 3: Spread and Sprinkle

Pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading it into an even layer (about ¼-inch thick). Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candy on top.

Step 4: Chill Until Set

Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until the bark is firm.

Step 5: Break into Pieces and Enjoy!

Once set, break into bite-sized pieces and serve or package for gifts.

Tips for the Best Peppermint Bark

Use high-quality white chocolate – It melts smoother and tastes better!
Don’t overheat the chocolate – Stir frequently when melting to prevent burning.
Crush Oreos into chunks – Too fine, and they’ll blend too much into the chocolate.
For extra contrast, drizzle with dark chocolate before chilling.

Substitutions and Variations

Use milk or dark chocolate instead of white for a different flavor.
Swap Oreos for graham crackers or vanilla wafers for a twist.
Skip the peppermint extract for a classic cookies & cream bark.
Add chopped nuts for a crunchy variation.

Make a Healthier Version

Want a lighter option? Try these swaps:

Use sugar-free white chocolate for a lower-sugar version.
Choose gluten-free Oreos to make it gluten-free.
Reduce the peppermint candy to cut back on sugar.
