Oreo Peppermint Bark
4 ingredients + 10 minutes = Oreo Peppermint Bark: A Delicious and Easy Holiday Treat
Hello there Southern Fairytalers! This is Dorothy, from Crazy for Crust. You know, the dessert blog where I’m crazy for crust…and talking. 😉 I’m so excited to be here hijacking Rachel’s blog today for the Handmade Holidays: Bake. Craft. Sew! There is nothing I like more than giving handmade gifts for Christmas. It’s so much easier and more personable than something from the store. And well, if you’ve read my blog at all, I bet you know what my handmade gifts are…dessert!
This Oreo Peppermint Bark is the perfect gift to give (or hoard). Everyone loves peppermint bark this time of year – and this has Oreos inside. So, um, it’s like 1,000,000x better than regular peppermint bark. And bark is so easy to make – it literally takes 10 minutes start to finish.
This bark is actually the brainchild of my daughter, Jordan. She’s 8 going on 16. She doesn’t get in the mood to bake with me all that often, so when she comes and says “Mom, I want to make something,” I drop what I’m doing and go running! That’s how this Oreo Peppermint Bark was born – she loves mint. She wanted something she could make that we could “test” and then she could make it again for our annual Christmas Eve party at her aunt’s house.
So yeah, an 8-year-old made this. That’s how easy it is! Just two kinds of chocolate chips, Oreos, and candy canes. Easy-peasy!
This bark would be a perfect gift for your kids to make for their teachers. Or you can make it for you. And hide with it in the closet. (Not that I’ve ever done that or anything…)
I hope you enjoy! And come on over and visit me at Crazy for Crust sometime. I’ll ply you with sugar and talk your ear off. That’s a promise! {You can also find me on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram. I’m all of those places obsessively.}
Oreo Peppermint Bark
Ingredients
- 10 mini candy canes crushed (about 1/2 cup)
- 12 Oreos chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips or semi-sweet
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with wax paper.
- Add milk chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30 second increments, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Pour onto prepared cookie sheet and spread flat. Sprinkle with chopped Oreos. Chill for 10 minutes.
- Add white chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl and heat on 50% power in 30 second increments, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. (I use 50% power for white chocolate because it’s so temperamental!) Pour over Oreos and spread to the edges of the milk chocolate. Sprinkle with chopped candy canes. Chill until set, break into pieces and serve or package to give!

Peppermint bark is one of my favorite things during Christmas time!
That looks absolutely delicious! I’m forwarding this recipe to my mother now. 🙂
This right here is a reason that i’m glad that the internet was invented! I’d never heard of bark until last christmas, but this has all of my favourite things, i must make it this year!!!
Thank you!

What size cookie sheet do you recommend for this recipe?
Hi Lori,
Here’s Dorothy’s response:
Any standard size cookie sheet is fine, I think mine are a bit larger than a 10×15 size. A 10×15 size would work as well. You can make your chocolate rectangle as big or as small as you want, depending on how thick you make it.
Enjoy!
Hello. Thanks so much for sharing tbis recipe !!!! I believe you’ve made my year !!! I’ve got a quick question: we don’t like dark cho locate. We just like the white chocolate. So how do I alter the recipe? Do I just omit it? Or double something? Thank you for your time !!! Merry Christmas !
I’m pretty sureThe recipe uses milk and white chocolate so dark chocolate won’t be a problem.
I made this for my (men) customers last year & they all flipped! I thought it would be a one-time treat but everyone STILL talks about it so it looks like I’ll be making this again this year…thanks for the great recipe! The oreos add a little something unexpected.
Would be nice to know the size of the cookie sheet to use?

Thank you thank you!!! I just wanted to make sure it didn’t come out TOO thin.
Can you freeze these?
Should I line the cookie sheet with parchment paper? Or can I pour directly onto non stick cookie sheet?
I’m sorry it’s a old treat but I’m not from the USA. You write oreos? What kind of just a brown filling in the middle or a special kind… You break the cookies and than just put them on the chocolate correct?
Thank you I don’t think we have the mark oreos but maybe some simular

Hi Judith,
Just the regular sandwich cookies {chocolate wafer/cookie with a white cream icing/frosting in the center} Hope you found them and were able to enjoy this bark!
Wow these looks so beautiful and attractive
Hi! I made the bark, but when I broke it into pieces the chocolate completely broke off from the bottom. Do you know how I could prevent this from happening? Thank you!
oh no! I’m so sorry, I know that’s frustrating! Did you allow it to completely harden? I haven’t had that happen before, but maybe one of the ingredients was off??? I’ll see if I can figure it out.
