- 14 ounces vanilla flavored candy melts
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- Green gel food coloring
Instructions
-
Refrigerate 10 to 15 minutes, until set.
-
Place the Oreos in a large zip-top bag and crush lightly with a rolling pin.
-
Place the candy melts into a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until melted and smooth.
-
Quickly mix in the peppermint extract and food coloring, tinting to desired shade. Stir in the Oreos, then spread gently over the chocolate layer. (You can reserve a few Oreos to sprinkle on top if desired.)
Recipe Notes
- Uneaten Oreo bark can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks. You can also freeze it in airtight containers for up to 2 months.
- Be sure to allow your chocolate chip layer to set fully before adding the Oreo layer!
- You can add sprinkles to the Oreo layer if you want but you’ll need to act fast because the candy melts firm up quickly.
- Use regular Oreos, mint Oreos, golden Oreos, or whatever variety you prefer.
