How to Make Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark

Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Line a cookie baking sheet with parchment paper. This will make it easy to remove your bark once it’s set and keep your cleanup simple.

Melt Semi-Sweet Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips at 30-second intervals. Stir after each interval until smooth and fully melted.

Spread the Chocolate: Once melted, pour and spread the semi-sweet chocolate evenly onto your prepared baking sheet. You want a nice thick layer that will hold everything together.

Add Oreo Crust: Sprinkle the 1 ½ cups of crushed Oreo cookies over the melted chocolate. Allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes, letting it set slightly.

Melt the White Chocolate: In another microwave-safe bowl, melt 2 cups of white chocolate chips using the same method—30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

Top with White Chocolate: Carefully pour the melted white chocolate over the Oreo layer, spreading it gently to cover the cookies. This will create a beautiful two-tone effect.

Sprinkle It Up: Immediately sprinkle ½ cup of green M&M’s and the 1 tablespoon of green sprinkles over the white chocolate layer, pressing them in slightly for good adherence.

Cool Completely: Allow the bark to cool at room temperature or place it in the fridge until completely hardened. This should take about 30-50 minutes depending on your environment.

Break and Serve: Once the bark is cool and set, break it into irregular pieces using your hands or a sharp knife. Serve it in a festive dish or package it up for sharing.

Storing & Reheating

Store your Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark at room temperature in an airtight container for up to two weeks. If you live in a warm area, consider refrigerating it for longer freshness—up to three weeks. You can also freeze it for up to three months, but be aware the texture might alter slightly when thawed. If you need to reheat any pieces, simply pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to bring back that creamy texture.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Make sure to fully melt both chocolates; this ensures an even consistency and prevents graininess.
Be careful with the Oreo cookie layer—too much pressure can create a soggy layer. Just sprinkle and lightly press.
If your white chocolate doesn’t melt smoothly, try adding a teaspoon of vegetable oil. This helps achieve that velvety finish.
To prevent chocolate from setting too quickly, keep your kitchen warm while preparing; a cold environment can cause issues with the melting process.
Feel free to experiment with different sprinkles! Swap out the green for colorful varieties depending on the occasion.

Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark is not just visually stunning but is also a fun mix of flavors and colors that come together perfectly. It’s easy to make, and you can customize it to your heart’s content, be it seasonal variations or using different sorts of candies! So go ahead, give this recipe a try, and enjoy the bliss of creating something delightful.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate?

Absolutely! Milk chocolate will provide a sweeter flavor, while semi-sweet chocolate gives a more balanced taste. Choose what suits your palate best!

How can I make this bark more festive for holidays?

You can easily switch up the M&M’s and sprinkles to match any holiday theme—red and white for Christmas, or pastel colors for Easter. Get creative!

What if I don’t have a microwave?

No problem! You can melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stove. Just place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until it’s smooth.

How long does it take to cool and set?

Typically, it takes about 30-50 minutes for the bark to cool and harden completely. However, be patient! Waiting ensures that the pieces will break neatly without crumbling.
