Ingredients
Scale
Oreos
- 24 Oreo cookies, crushed
Chocolate Base
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
Candy Melts and Toppings
- 1 cup pink or red candy melts
- Heart-shaped sprinkles, for decoration
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies into a zip-top bag and use a rolling pin to crush them until you have a mix of chunks and fine crumbs. Set aside half for layering and keep half for sprinkling later.
- Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted.
- Prepare Base Layer: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the melted white chocolate onto the sheet and spread it evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle half of the crushed Oreos evenly over this white chocolate layer.
- Melt Candy Melts and Swirl: Melt the pink or red candy melts according to package instructions, typically in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted candy melts over the white chocolate layer, then use a toothpick to create swirled patterns for a marbled effect.
- Finish and Chill: Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos and heart-shaped sprinkles over the top. Refrigerate the bark for about 30 minutes or until it is fully set and firm enough to break into pieces.
- Serve: Once set, break or cut the bark into bite-size pieces and serve as a festive Valentine’s treat.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate for a smoother melt and better flavor.
- If you do not have candy melts, colored white chocolate or colored melting chocolate can be substituted.
- Make sure to spread the white chocolate evenly so the bark sets uniformly.
- This bark can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a darker contrast, try using dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate for the base layer.
