Mint Oreo Bark
Ingredients
- 1 package 12 oz mint-flavored chocolate chips (or semi-sweet chocolate chips)
- 1 package 15.25 oz Mint Oreo cookies
- 1 cup white chocolate chips optional, for drizzling
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract optional, for extra mint flavor
- Sea salt for sprinkling, optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Line a 9x9-inch baking dish or a baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Crush the Oreos: Place the Mint Oreo cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them into smaller pieces using a rolling pin or your hands. Alternatively, you can use a food processor for a finer crumb. Set aside a handful of crushed Oreos for topping.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mint-flavored chocolate chips and, if using, the peppermint extract. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until fully melted and smooth.
- Combine with Oreos: Stir the crushed Oreos into the melted chocolate until well coated.
- Spread the Mixture: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreos on top, pressing them gently into the chocolate.
- Optional White Chocolate Drizzle: If you want to add a drizzle of white chocolate, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl (using the same method as before) and drizzle over the top of the bark.
- Chill: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the bark is set and firm.
- Break into Pieces: Once set, remove the bark from the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Break it into pieces.
