2 cups white chocolate chips: Creamy and sweet, white chocolate lends a beautiful contrast to the semi-sweet chocolate. Callebaut or Ghirardelli brands are great choices.
1 ½ cups crushed Oreo cookies (mint or double stuf): These crunchy, chocolaty pieces create a fun texture and complement the mint flavor. Feel free to substitute with regular Oreos if mint isn’t available.

How to Make Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark

Line the Baking Sheet: Start by lining a cookie baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the chocolate from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.

Melt the Semi-Sweet Chocolate: Place 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave them in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until they’re melted and smooth. Keep a close eye on the chocolate to ensure it doesn’t burn!

Spread the Chocolate: Once melted, pour the semi-sweet chocolate onto the lined baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread it into an even layer, ensuring the chocolate covers the entire surface of the parchment.

Add the Crushed Oreos: Sprinkle 1 ½ cups of crushed Oreo cookies over the melted chocolate. Allow the bark to cool for about 5 minutes so it can set slightly. This is crucial for ensuring the layers stick together.

Melt the White Chocolate: In another microwave-safe bowl, add 2 cups of white chocolate chips. Just like before, melt them in 30-second bursts, stirring frequently until you achieve a smooth consistency.

Pour the White Chocolate: Carefully pour the melted white chocolate over the Oreo layer, gently spreading it to cover all the crushed cookies. This stark white layer will contrast beautifully with the dark chocolate below.

Add Toppings: Immediately sprinkle the ½ cup of green M&M’s and 1 tablespoon of green sprinkles over the white chocolate. Press them down slightly to ensure they adhere well to the bark.

Cool Completely: Allow the bark to cool completely at room temperature or place it in the fridge to expedite the process. You want the chocolate to harden fully for the best texture.

Break into Pieces: Once set, break the bark into irregular pieces with your hands or a knife. They don’t have to be perfect—rough edges just add to the rustic charm!

Storing & Reheating

To keep your Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark fresh, store it at room temperature in an airtight container for up to one week. If you prefer to keep it longer, pop it into the refrigerator where it can last for up to two weeks. You can also freeze it for up to three months—simply wrap individual pieces tightly in plastic wrap and tuck them in a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw it overnight in the fridge. Note that freezing may slightly alter the texture, but it will still be delicious.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid Overheating: When melting chocolate, be patient. Overheating can cause it to seize. Keep doing 30-second bursts until it’s just melted.
Use High-Quality Chocolate: For the best flavor, always choose high-quality chocolate chips. It really makes a difference!
Mix Different Variations: Feel free to swap the Oreos for other favorite cookies or try adding nuts for extra crunch!
Don’t Skip the Cool Time: Allowing each layer to set slightly prevents the white chocolate from mixing with the semi-sweet layer.

Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark is wonderfully versatile, inviting you to experiment with flavors and textures according to your preferences. From changing up your toppings to using different types of chocolate, you can personalize this bark in countless ways!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use other cookies instead of Oreos?

Absolutely! While Mint Oreos add a unique flavor, you can use any chocolate sandwich cookie or even crushed graham crackers for a different take. Try different flavors like peanut butter or vanilla to switch things up!

How do I prevent my chocolate from seizing?

Ensuring that your bowls and utensils are completely dry is essential. Any moisture can cause chocolate to seize. Also, melting it slowly over low heat or in small intervals in the microwave helps maintain a smooth consistency.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark is perfect for making in advance. Just store it in an airtight container, and it will stay fresh for up to two weeks.

What’s the best way to break the bark into pieces?

To achieve irregular pieces, simply use your hands. If you want more uniform shapes, you can score it gently with a knife before it fully sets.
