Mint Oreo Bark Ingredients
- 1/2 of a 15.5 oz package of regular Oreos (about 20 cookies)
- 24 oz bag of white chocolate morsels
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon mint extract (adjust based on desired mint intensity)
- Green food coloring, a few drops
- Prepare the Oreos: Break the Oreos into bite-sized pieces in a large mixing bowl to ensure even distribution throughout the bark.
- Melt the white chocolate: Following the package directions, gently melt the 24 oz bag of white morsels until smooth, using a microwave or double boiler to avoid burning.
- Add flavor and color: Quickly stir in the mint extract and a few drops of green food coloring into the melted white chocolate, mixing thoroughly to achieve a consistent mint flavor and a pale green hue.
- Combine with Oreos: Fold the broken Oreo pieces into the minty white chocolate mixture, making sure they are evenly coated but still maintain some visible texture.
- Set the bark: Pour the combined mixture onto a wax paper-lined baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Place the pan into the freezer for about two hours to allow the bark to harden.
- Serve: Once firm, break the bark into irregular pieces and enjoy this refreshing and crunchy treat.
Notes
- For a stronger mint flavor, use up to 1/2 teaspoon of mint extract, but add gradually to avoid overpowering the sweetness.
- Use white chocolate chips labeled as ‘morsels’ for best melting results to avoid grainy texture.
- Green food coloring is optional but adds a festive and appealing look to the bark.
- The bark should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it firm and fresh for up to two weeks.
- Customize by adding crushed candy canes or chopped nuts for extra texture.
