Ingredients You’ll Need

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips: This is the base of your chocolate bark, offering a rich, sweet flavor. You can substitute with dark chocolate for a deeper taste.
2 cups white chocolate chips: The creamy texture complements the semi-sweet chocolate and helps balance the mint’s flavor. You can use a sugar-free option if you prefer.
1 ½ cups crushed Oreo cookies (mint or double stuf): For that classic creamy crunch and minty kick. Double stuf gives more creaminess, while mint Oreos amplify the mint flavor.
½ cup green M&M’s: These add a pop of color and a little extra chocolate in each bite. Feel free to use any color or type of M&M if you don’t have green on hand.
1 tbsp green sprinkles: They’re the fun finishing touch! Use any festive sprinkles you have to match the occasion.

How to Make Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark

Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a cookie baking sheet with parchment paper, creating a non-stick surface for your bark. This will make lifting the bark off and cutting it so much easier.

Melt Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips at 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until completely melted and smooth. This keeps the chocolate from burning and helps you achieve that silky texture.

Spread the Melted Chocolate: Pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into an even layer using a spatula. Make sure it covers the bottom nicely for an even bark.

Add Crushed Oreos: Sprinkle 1 ½ cups of crushed Oreo cookies evenly over the melted chocolate. Let it cool for about 5 minutes to set a bit but not harden completely; this will allow the Oreo crumbs to stay put when you add the next layer.

Melt White Chocolate Chips: In another microwave-safe bowl, microwave the 2 cups of white chocolate chips using the same 30-second intervals, stirring frequently until melted. This will create the beautiful creamy top layer.

Spread White Chocolate: Carefully pour and spread the melted white chocolate over the Oreo layer. Work quickly but gently to cover it completely and not disturb the Oreo layer underneath.

Top with M&M’s and Sprinkles: Immediately sprinkle the ½ cup of green M&M’s and 1 tablespoon of green sprinkles on top of the white chocolate layer. Press them down lightly to make sure they stick.

Cool Completely: Allow the bark to cool completely at room temperature or pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes until it’s hard. The patience is key here, as the cooling process will ensure a good snap when broken apart.

Break into Pieces: Once fully set, take a sharp knife or your hands and break the bark into irregular pieces. The rough edges add to its charm!

Storing & Reheating

For storing, keep your Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want it to last longer, refrigerate it, where it will stay fresh for about two weeks. You can also freeze it in a sealed bag for up to three months. Just be aware that freezing may alter the texture slightly, but to refresh it, simply let it sit at room temperature for a bit before enjoying. There’s no need to reheat!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid Soggy Bark: Make sure the Oreo crumbs are crushed well; larger pieces can cause sogginess and uneven texture.
Chocolate Tempering: If you have difficulty melting chocolate, use a double boiler for better control over heat.
Layering Tip: Allow the first layer to set sufficiently before adding the second layer to prevent them from mixing.
Mix it Up: Experiment with different types of sprinkles or candies on top to match seasonal themes or your mood!

Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark is not just a treat; it’s a delightful blend of flavors and textures that’s incredibly easy to make. It strikes the right chord between rich chocolate and refreshing mint, creating a delicious confection that everyone will love. Try making it for your next gathering, or simply keep a batch for yourself—you deserve it!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use different types of chocolate?

Absolutely! While this recipe calls for semi-sweet and white chocolate chips, you can switch it up with milk chocolate or dark chocolate according to your taste. Just remember that while the flavors will differ, the process remains the same.

How can I make this bark festive for different holidays?

Making the bark festive is easy! For Christmas, use red and green M&M’s, or for Halloween, swap in orange and purple candies. You can even change the sprinkles to match the theme. It’s a fun way to get creative with your presentation!

Why is my bark not setting properly?

If your bark isn’t setting, it might be due to moisture in your ingredients or not allowing enough time to cool. Ensure that your chocolate layers are not too thick and try chilling it in the fridge until fully hardened.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

You can create a dairy-free version by using dairy-free chocolate chips for both the semi-sweet and white layers. Additionally, check the Oreos, as many varieties are considered dairy-free, but it’s always good to read the labels.
