Things to Know Before Making Mint Oreo Christmas Bark

• Use good quality white and milk chocolate so it melts smoothly and sets firm.
• Lightly crush the Oreos so you get texture without turning them into dust.
• Work quickly once the chocolate is spread so the toppings stick properly.
• Chill just until set so the chocolate stays shiny and doesn't bloom.
• Break the bark into uneven pieces for that cozy, rustic holiday look.

This is one of those desserts people always ask where you bought it, which is my favorite kind. If you're into easy, aesthetic recipes, you'll love these too: Pretzel Christmas Bark, Hot Cocoa Bark, Reindeer Bark, and Caramel Apple Bark.

Ingredients You'll Need

How to Make Mint Oreo Christmas Bark

Step 1: Prep Ingredients

Crush candy canes and Oreos in separate bags and set to the side.

Unwrap chocolate bars and place in a "rectangle" shape on the baking sheet (arrange them in a way to alternative the chocolate/mix them better if you like).

Step 2: Melt the chocolate

Melt the white and milk chocolate separately in the microwave or using a double boiler, stirring until smooth and creamy. Heat slowly so the chocolate doesn't scorch.

Step 2: Spread and swirl chocolate

Take a toothpick to gently swirl and mix as much of the chocolate as possible.

Step 3: Add toppings and chill

Sprinkle crushed mint Oreos and candy canes and any optional toppings over the warm chocolate. Refrigerate for at least an hour or until fully set.

Step 4: Break the bark

Break the bark into cute-ish pieces. And take lot of pictures! Bon appetite!

Substitutions and Variations

• Use all white chocolate for a sweeter bark.
• Swap mint Oreos for classic Oreos if you prefer less mint.
• Add green holiday sprinkles for extra festive vibes.
• Mix crushed candy canes with the Oreos for extra crunch.
