Peppermint Bark was never a cookie/treat that we made in my family when I was young. I don't even think that I even had it until I was about 25 years old and walked in to a store in the mall and they were giving out samples. From then on, I was hooked!

The problem is, if you have ever bought peppermint bark in the past, you know how expensive it is! Sure, in many cases, it comes in a nice giftable tin, but you can usually get some inexpensive cookie tins online or even in your local craft store.

So I have been making my own peppermint bark recipe for quite some time, but since we are all about the Oreos in this house (at least, my children are – have you tried my Oreo Truffles recipe yet?), I thought it might be fun to add some Oreos in to the peppermint bark….and let me tell you – it was a good call!

There are a few options that you can use when it comes to the chocolate that you use for this. When I first started making peppermint bark, I would just use semisweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips (the kind you use for cookies)…but I quickly learned that kind of chocolate can make a mess of your hands unless it is kept chilled.

For years, the only other alternative was to either temper the chocolate yourself or use those candy melts that are found in the craft stores that don't really taste the best. In the past few years, some of the “better chocolates” have come out with their own version of melting wafers and the taste is so much better! I like the Ghirardelli melting chocolate (you can also find it in your grocery store) as well as the Bakers Microwave Cups (perfect for dipping things like my Cherry Chocolate Christmas Mice!)

  • Sprinkle the crushed Oreos over the chocolate.
  • Place in refrigerator for 15 minutes to set.
