Ingredients
- 1 package Oreos, crushed
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your workspace. Gather all your ingredients: 1 package of Oreos, 2 cups of dark chocolate chips, 1 cup of white chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup of crushed candy canes. Make sure you have a baking sheet lined with parchment paper ready for the chocolate bark.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the 2 cups of dark chocolate chips. Microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes total.
- Once the dark chocolate is melted, pour it onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly into a rectangle or your desired shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- While the dark chocolate is still warm, sprinkle the crushed Oreos evenly over the surface. Gently press them down into the chocolate so they adhere well.
- In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the 1 cup of white chocolate chips. Melt the white chocolate using the same microwave method, in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate and Oreos in a zigzag pattern. You can use a spoon or a piping bag for more control over the drizzle.
- Finally, sprinkle the 1/2 cup of crushed candy canes over the top of the chocolate bark while the white chocolate is still warm. This will help the candy canes stick to the bark.
- Allow the bark to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, or until it is set. You can also place it in the refrigerator for quicker setting if desired.
- Once the chocolate bark is fully set, break it into pieces of your desired size. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to one week.
Tips
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor and smoothest melting.
- Be patient when melting chocolate - use short intervals and stir frequently to prevent burning.
- For a more uniform look, use a spatula or offset knife to spread chocolate evenly.
- Work quickly when adding toppings to ensure they stick to the warm chocolate.
- For a cleaner break, let the bark set completely before cutting or breaking.
- Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- Experiment with different crush levels for Oreos and candy canes for varied texture.
- Consider using a silicone baking mat for even easier removal and cleanup.
