Ingredients You’ll Need

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips: This is your first layer, creating a rich and decadent base. For a lighter chocolate flavor, you could substitute with dark chocolate chips.
2 cups white chocolate chips: The second layer adds sweetness and contrast to the semi-sweet chocolate. If you need a dairy-free option, consider using high-quality dairy-free white chocolate.
1 ½ cups crushed Oreo cookies (mint or double stuf): Add crunch and flavor, bringing that classic Oreo taste. Feel free to use regular Oreos if you prefer.
½ cup green M&M’s: These not only add color but a bit of fun with their crispy candy shell. You could use any small chocolate candies if you can’t find green M&M’s.
1 tbsp green sprinkles: For that festive touch! If you’re making this for a different occasion, choose sprinkles that match the theme.

How to Make Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark

Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a cookie baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup effortless.

Melt Semi-Sweet Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, add 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth and melted. This ensures even melting without burning the chocolate.

Spread Chocolate Layer: Pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly, creating a smooth layer. Take your time here for the best base.

Add the Oreo Layer: Sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies over the semi-sweet chocolate layer. Allow this to cool for at least 5 minutes, helping it to set slightly before moving on to the next step.

Melt White Chocolate: In a clean microwave-safe bowl, place 2 cups of white chocolate chips. Again, use 30-second intervals, stirring frequently until completely melted and smooth.

Pour White Chocolate: Carefully pour and spread the melted white chocolate over the Oreo layer. Use a spatula to smooth it out, covering all the cookies underneath—this step adds a lovely creaminess.

Finish with M&M’s and Sprinkles: Immediately sprinkle the green M&M’s and green sprinkles over the white chocolate layer. This adds a visual pop and festive touch!

Cool and Harden: Allow the bark to cool completely at room temperature or place it in the fridge until hard. This usually takes about 30 minutes, but keep an eye on it!

Break Into Pieces: Once set, use a knife or your hands to break the bark into irregular pieces. The rustic look adds character to this fun treat.

Storing & Reheating

Store your Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark at room temperature in an airtight container for up to two weeks. If you prefer, pop it right into the fridge to extend its freshness, ideally within a sealed container for about a month. Feeling adventurous? You can freeze the bark for up to three months. Just ensure it’s well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn. To refresh the bark’s texture, simply remove it from the fridge or freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Ensure your bowls are completely dry; even a drop of water will cause chocolate to seize.
If your chocolate doesn’t melt smoothly, try adding a teaspoon of vegetable oil to help achieve that glossy finish.
For fun variations, consider adding crushed peppermint candies for extra minty flavor or different colored sprinkles for various celebrations.
Keep an eye on the cooling time. If you’re in a hurry, refrigerating for a shorter time can still be effective, but let it cool to prevent melting when breaking it into pieces.
Chocolate bark makes for a great homemade gift. Just package it neatly with some festive ribbon!

Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark is more than just a sweet treat; it’s a canvas for creativity and flavor. The blend of rich chocolate and crunchy mint cookies creates blissful bites that are perfect not just for St. Patrick’s Day but anytime you crave something sweet and fun. Whether you’re hosting a party or gathering, or simply enjoying a quiet night at home, this recipe invites you to indulge. Don’t hesitate to experiment with different flavors and colors whenever you’re in the mood to create something unique.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use different types of chocolate?

Absolutely! Feel free to swap semi-sweet and white chocolate for milk chocolate or dark chocolate, depending on your taste preference. Each will give a different flavor profile to the final bark.

How do I know when the bark is set?

You can tell the bark is ready once it has hardened completely and is firm to the touch. If it’s still soft, give it more time in the refrigerator.

What if I can’t find mint Oreos?

No worries! Regular Oreos will work just as well. You can also add a few drops of mint extract to your melted chocolate layers for that signature mint flavor.

How can I make this more festive?

Consider adding seasonal sprinkles based on the occasion or mixing in other candies like holiday-themed chocolate pieces or nuts for extra flavor and texture.
