Oreo bark is a quick and delicious candy that can be made on short notice. There are tons of recipes out there, but a lot of it depends on what you like. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your needs. I originally saw the recipe on the Princess Pinky Girl website. She used white chocolate and crushed peppermints.

Here’s what you’ll need

• 1/2 cup crushed oreos (about 8-9 oreos)
• mini M&M’s
• your chocolate of preference
• 9×13 baking pan
• wax paper

The hardest part is choosing your chocolate!

Well depending on your chocolate of choice melting it may be the hardest part, but you know what I mean. Candy bark is full of endless possibilities. Almond bark, baking morsels, and baking bars all work. You can use white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, semisweet chocolate, and vanilla melting wafers. I tend to make a couple different varieties. This year I went with almond bark, but only because it could be easily melted in the microwave. You can melt the other chocolate in the microwave too. However you have to be more careful melting it, because if it gets too hot it will seize and start baking.

So I mixed a vanilla and chocolate package and I made a straight chocolate. I started off by crushing my oreos in the food processor. You can just put them in a ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin, but I was making them for this and peppermint bark so it was faster to use the food processor.

Step 1: Prep your pans first!

The chocolate starts to set up pretty quick so get your pans ready first. I used 9×13 cookie sheets, but you can use glass casserole dishes or larger cookie sheets. Just use what you have. It spreads easily, but isn’t very runny; so you don’t need to worry about it running off the pan.

Step 2: Melt the chocolate

For almond bark follow the directions on the package to melt it in your microwave. If you’re using morsels or baking bars a double boiler is the best way to melt them. However if you choose to use the microwave, I suggest heating in small increments and stirring often. It goes quickly from almost melted to seized yucky mess.

Step 3: Spread it out on the pan

Remember it’s hot! Spread the chocolate out to your desired thickness. Remember you’re going to break it into pieces so don’t get it too thick.

Step 4: Add toppings!

Sprinkle crushed oreos and M&M’s on top. Make sure to lightly press down on top of your chosen toppings to make sure they harden into the chocolate.

Step 5: Refrigerate for about 30 minutes

Step 6: Break apart

And that’s it!

Tah-dah! You’re done! Switch out toppings and make it your own. The possibilities are endless!
