Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 24 ounces (680 grams) white morsels
- 1/2 of a 15.5 ounces (440 grams) package of regular Oreos (about 20 cookies)
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons mint extract
Coloring Ingredient:
- Green food coloring
Instructions
- Crush Oreo cookies into varying sizes, ranging from small chunks to larger pieces, ensuring a textured visual appeal and satisfying crunch.
- Select a microwave-safe bowl and gradually melt white chocolate morsels using 30-second intervals, stirring between each heating cycle to prevent scorching and achieve smooth consistency.
- Incorporate mint extract and green food coloring into melted chocolate, adding pigment gradually to reach desired mint-green hue, working swiftly to maintain chocolate’s liquid state.
- Gently fold Oreo chunks into mint-infused white chocolate, ensuring comprehensive coating of each cookie fragment for consistent flavor distribution.
- Transfer mixture onto wax paper-lined pan, spreading evenly with spatula while allowing natural, rustic texture to develop.
- Refrigerate or freeze at 0°F for approximately 120 minutes, enabling complete solidification of chocolate bark.
- Remove hardened bark from freezer, peel away wax paper, and fracture into irregular, artisanal-style pieces using hands, creating an organic, homemade appearance.
Notes
- Customize the mint intensity by adjusting extract quantity, starting with small amounts and tasting as you go for perfect flavor balance.
- Use high-quality white chocolate for smoother melting and richer taste, avoiding chocolate chips which can be harder to melt evenly.
- Create gluten-free version by substituting regular Oreos with gluten-free mint sandwich cookies, maintaining the recipe’s signature crunch and flavor profile.
