2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips: This provides a rich chocolate base. Feel free to use dairy-free chips if you’re seeking a vegan option.
2 cups white chocolate chips: These add sweetness and creaminess that pairs beautifully with the mint. Look for high-quality chips for the best flavor.
1 ½ cups crushed Oreo cookies (mint or double stuf): The crunchy texture and delicious flavor elevate the bark. You can substitute with gluten-free Oreos for a gluten-free version.

How to Make Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark

Prepare Your Pan: Line a cookie baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and help with easy cleanup.

Melt Semi-Sweet Chocolate: Microwave 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl at 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth and melted. Be sure to monitor it closely to avoid scorching the chocolate.

Spread Chocolate: Pour and spread the melted semi-sweet chocolate out onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Aim for around a ¼ inch thickness to get that perfect bark texture.

Add Oreo Crumbs: Sprinkle 1 ½ cups of crushed Oreo cookies evenly over the melted chocolate. This adds a satisfying crunch. Let the chocolate cool for at least 5 minutes to set slightly.

Melt White Chocolate: In a separate bowl, microwave 2 cups of white chocolate chips at 30-second intervals, stirring frequently until fully melted and smooth. The white chocolate should be velvety to contrast with the dark layer.

Layer the White Chocolate: Carefully pour and spread the melted white chocolate over the Oreo layer, using a spatula to ensure an even layer. The melting white chocolate will create a delicious contrast to the chocolate below.

Top with M&M’s and Sprinkles: Immediately sprinkle ½ cup of green M&M’s and 1 tablespoon of green sprinkles on top. The added colors will make it look vibrant and festive.

Cool Completely: Allow the bark to cool completely at room temperature, or pop it in the fridge until hard. This will help all the layers set firm and make for easier breaking.

Break Into Pieces: Once cooled, break the bark into irregular pieces using a knife or your hands. This rustic touch adds to the homemade charm of your treat.

Storing & Reheating

To store your Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark, place it in an airtight container at room temperature. It should stay fresh for about one week. If you’d like to keep it longer, refrigerate it for up to 2 weeks in a tightly-sealed container. You can also freeze the bark for up to 3 months; just wrap it well in plastic wrap first to prevent freezer burn. If you need to reheat it, place it back in the microwave at low power for 10-second intervals until slightly softened, but be aware that the texture and flavor may slightly change.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Be cautious while melting chocolate; it’s best to heat in short intervals and stir well to avoid any burning.
Make sure your Oreo crumbs are finely crushed for an even distribution throughout the chocolate.
If you have leftover bark, chop it up and toss it into ice cream for a delicious mix-in.
For added mint flavor, consider incorporating a few drops of mint extract into your melted chocolate.
Experiment with different types of cookies or toppings for a unique twist on the traditional bark.

Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark offers an easy way to enjoy the combination of sweet chocolate, Oreos, and mint, making it an ideal treat anytime you need a pick-me-up. Don’t hesitate to get creative and make it your own! Whether for a festive green celebration or just a sweet afternoon snack, this treat is bound to bring smiles all around.

Recipe FAQs

Absolutely! You can swap the semi-sweet chocolate chips for dark chocolate if you prefer a richer flavor. It’s a great way to tailor the bark to your taste preferences.

How do I make this recipe gluten-free?

To make Mint Oreo Chocolate Bark gluten-free, simply choose gluten-free Oreo cookies or another gluten-free cookie substitution. The rest of the ingredients are naturally gluten-free.

Definitely! Get creative—consider adding nuts, dried fruit, or other candies to the top before the chocolate sets. Just remember to keep the overall balance of flavors in mind!

How can I adjust the sweetness?

If you find the chocolate too sweet for your liking, consider reducing the amount of white chocolate or using unsweetened dark chocolate for a more balanced flavor.
