Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 24 oz white chocolate chips or almond bark
- 20 Mint Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
- ½ teaspoon mint extract (optional)
Optional Toppings
- Green sprinkles
- Chocolate drizzle
- Crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Chop Oreos: Roughly chop the 20 Mint Oreo cookies and set them aside for mixing and topping.
- Melt white chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips or almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Add mint extract and cookies: Stir in ½ teaspoon of mint extract if using, then fold in two-thirds of the chopped Oreos, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Spread the bark: Pour the chocolate and Oreo mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly to approximately ¼-inch thickness.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle the remaining chopped Oreos and any optional toppings like green sprinkles, chocolate drizzle, or crushed candy canes over the top. Gently press the toppings into the bark so they stick.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the bark for 20 to 30 minutes until firm and set. Once solid, break it into around 20 pieces for serving.
Notes
- You can substitute almond bark with white chocolate chips or any melting chocolate of your choice.
- Mint extract is optional but enhances the mint flavor; adjust according to taste preference.
- Store your bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and firm.
- This recipe is great for holiday gifts or quick dessert fixes.
- Ensure the white chocolate melts slowly to avoid scorching by stirring frequently during microwaving.
