Recipe Notes
Candy Melts vs White Chocolate Chips: I prefer Wilton candy melts or Ghirardelli White Melting Wafers for making this chocolate bark. I love regular white chocolate chips, but they are manufactured with additives to hold their shape, so they don’t melt as easily and also once hardened, the bark can soften up at room temperature.
Variations: add in some crushed up pretzels or top with sprinkles. You can use different Oreo flavors, like golden or peppermint. Or even try a different type of cookie.
Breaking it up in to pieces: I simply break the bark up with my hands because I like the rustic look of uneven pieces, but you can also cut the bark into perfect squares with straight edges, if you prefer. To do this, place the blade of a sharp knife in hot water for 30 seconds, then dry the blade and place it against the bark to score the sections. Let the heat of the blade melt a line into the bark, then cut.
How to Store Oreo Bark
Store pieces in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 1 week, in the refrigerator for 2 weeks, or in the freezer for about 1 month.
Chocolate bark is not only delicious, but it’s so easy to make and can be a wonderful edible gift for family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and teachers. It’s so pretty stacked between pieces of parchment paper and tied with a festive bow.
