How to Make Oreo Peppermint Bark
- Melt chocolate in the microwave or in a double broiler. I used a double-boiler on low heat and it took 8 minutes to completely melt the chocolate.
- Place a silicone baking mat, or wax paper, onto a baking sheet. Pour the melted white chocolate onto the prepared sheet.
- Using a rubber spatula, spread the chocolate evenly across the cookie sheet into a rough 8”x10” rectangle that is ¼ inch thick.
- Sprinkle crushed peppermint and Oreos on the chocolate. Depending on how full you like your bark, you may have extra crushed oreos and peppermint.
PRO-TIP: Save the extras in a sealed bag and use at a later time to make another bark - Take a piece of wax paper and gently press the sprinkled peppermints and Oreos into the chocolate.
- Place the cookie sheet into the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until set.
- Break the chocolate into pieces.
