Yes, I know it’s only a week until Christmas, and yes, I’m pretty sure you all have your cookies and sweets picked out or already made for your holiday parties and family events.
But trust me when I say making this easy Peppermint Oreo Bark needs to be added to your plans! It only has a few ingredients, and it can be done in about 15 minutes. In just a few minutes you can be snacking on peppermint goodness!
Plus, I’m still in love with all things peppermint, so here we go with another easy peppermint treat for the season.
Believe me, believe me my jeans are so mad at my snacking habits this month. It’s not pretty. But oh, it tastes so good!!!
A few years ago I made this Candy Cane Pretzel Bark, and then promptly ate half the batch. True story!
So this year, I thought I would try something different. Turns out putting Oreo Thins in the center of chocolate and topping it with peppermint bits doesn’t stop you from munching. My sweet tooth needs a rehab from this easy four ingredient chocolate bark!
Using those same cookies and making Peppermint Bark Oreo Thins is another reason I need to rehab that pesky tooth.
Swirls of dark and white chocolate, crunchy cookies, and sweet peppermint bits is never a bad idea. Well, that is if you have willpower and can resist that kind of holiday goodness.
My plan is to work on finding my willpower in January. Until then, you can find me hiding in the closet with chocolate smears on my face.
How to make Peppermint Oreo Bark:
- Use a good quality chocolate for the bark. Not only will it melt smooth and creamy, but it will taste good too.
- Line your pan with foil or parchment paper. This will help you get all the chocolate goodness out after it sets.
- Dip the bottoms of the cookies in melted white chocolate before putting them on the foil. This keeps them from moving all over the place when you spread the rest of the white chocolate on top.
- Drop the melted dark chocolate in puddles over the top and then swirl gently. You want to keep the chocolate on the top, so that when you cut it you have layers of white and chocolate.
- Sprinkle the peppermint bits on top before the chocolate sets up.
- Use a knife to cut the bark into triangles. It doesn’t break right just using your hands.
- Give away most of the bark away before you eat it all!
Thank goodness I was able to send most of this Oreo peppermint bark to our church. I didn’t want to be the only one who couldn’t fit in their jeans. I mean I wanted to share the peppermint happiness with everyone. Wink, wink!

This bark looks unreal! Such deliciousness 🙂
Chels+R. says
Looks so delish! I have quite a few oreo lovers in my family who would love this!
Mir says
I’ve given up on sweet tooth rehab. It’s not worth the gray, cold thing that life becomes!
This looks worthy of being completely devoured!
Cherlyn says
Oreo Peppermint Bark – the ingredient lists chocolate melting wafers, but then the tip said to use a good quality chocolate. I’m only familiar with Wilton melts… is there another brand you recommend? And, could you use chocolate chips instead?
Jocelyn says
I personally prefer using Ghirardelli melting wafers. They taste so much better, and most grocery stores and Walmart have them in their baking aisle. You could use chocolate chips, but the bark would melt in your hands so much quicker.
Barbara H says
I made this this year instead of my regular peppermint bark. I will never go back to the other. These are so delicious and easy to make. My family loves the crunch of the Oreos. Thanks for this terrific recipe.
Jocelyn says
Awe, thank you so much for the sweetest comment! You totally made my day! I am so glad your family loved this bark 🙂
Liz says
Hi–could you tell me what 2 1/2 cups of white chocolate melts would be in ounces or pounds? Trying to get an idea of how much chocolate I’ll need for a large quantity. Thanks!
Jocelyn says
I just pulled a 10 ounce bag of white melts out of my pantry and measure it. It was about 1 1/2 cups, so you would need 2 of these bags. Or you can buy a big bag of melts at Sam’s Club and have plenty. I hope that helps, and that you enjoy the bark.
Krystal says
Made this last year – got rave reviews (and my jeans hated me too!! ;). I had to come back to this recipe first thing when someone mentioned a cookie exchange next week. I know, not a cookie. Seriously though, who needs 12 different kinds of holiday COOKIES when you can have a little piece of heaven instead!! I made this so many times last year that I decided to just double it on the front end this time. At least I’m pregnant this year… a bit of jean expansion is ok, right?! THANK YOU (I think :)!!!!
Jocelyn says
I understand the dilemma. My jeans hated me after I made this too! It’s just so good!!!
Lorna A. says
I made this for a cookie exchange. It was the hit! I put the little broken pieces in a bowl and they were gone within 2 minutes.
I took your advice and sent all of it home with the ladies except 3 pieces for me. They are gone and now I wish I had more.
Thank you for a fantastic recipe.
Gina says
I had trouble with my white chocolate splitting and had to add cream to bring it back. Hoping that it will still taste ok..? I used actual chocolate rather than melts so perhaps that was the problem?
Jocelyn says
I would agree that the reason is didn’t work as well was due to the chocolate. I like to use Ghirardelli chocolate melts for treats like this. The chocolate melts so well, and tastes amazing.
Mkr625 says
What does the underside of this bark look like? You said spread a little white chocolate to hold in place. Are you spreading across the entire cookie?
Jocelyn says
The chocolate on the bottom is optional. I just like to spread a little bit of chocolate on the cookies to hold them in place on the parchment. It keeps them from moving around as the chocolate is being poured over it. The chocolate will go down and under the cookies and the bottom will still look pretty. I hope you enjoy the bark!
Beth says
I made these this morning. It only took Me a few minutes. I spread a thin layer of Ghiradelli white chocolate on the parchment and laid the cookies in the chocolate. Then I poured the rest of the white chocolate on top of the cookies. I topped the white chocolate with the Ghiradelli dark chocolate and sprinkled It with crushed candy canes. Done. So easy and so delicious! Packing these up for my neighbors immediately before I eat the whole batch!
Payla says
Do you have yo let the white chocolate set before adding the dark?
Jocelyn says
No you do not. Drop the dark chocolate right on top of the melted white chocolate and swirl. I hope you enjoy the bark.
