How to Make Peppermint Bark Oreos

Making Peppermint Bark Oreos is an enjoyable and straightforward process. You’ll melt the white chocolate and dip the Oreos for a sweet coating. A sprinkle of crushed candy canes adds a colorful twist to each cookie. It’s easy, fun, and totally delicious!

What You Need

16 Oreos
8 ounces Ghirardelli white chocolate wafers
1-2 candy canes, crushed up

Step-by-Step

Select Oreos that don’t have any cracks or broken pieces. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt the white chocolate wafers in a double boiler on low heat. Once the wafers are halfway melted, take them off the heat and continue stirring until smooth. The chocolate is ready when it can freely flow off your spatula. If it seizes up, just wait 5 minutes for it to cool down (it got too hot).
Dip each Oreo in the white chocolate. Turn it over and use a spatula to cover the sides and top. Use a fork to scoop the Oreo out of the bowl, tapping it gently on the side to release excess chocolate.
Set the Oreo on the parchment paper, then immediately sprinkle with crushed candy cane pieces. Repeat until all Oreos are covered.
Transfer to the fridge to chill for 10 minutes.

To keep your Oreos fresh, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They can last up to one week this way. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them. Just place them in a freezer-safe container. When you’re ready to eat them, let them thaw in the fridge.

Recipe Tips
