PEPPERMINT OREO BARK 

White Chocolate Candy Cane Oreo Bark is sweet, crunchy, and rich. It also keeps really well and can be wrapped in colorful wax paper to make the perfect DIY holiday gift.  This combination makes so much sense that Oreo actually came out with a Peppermint Bark Oreo flavor!

It’s that time of year again: time to start making yummy treats for Christmas. One of the most classic desserts you can make is White Chocolate Candy Cane Oreo Bark. It’s the perfect, crunchy mixture of rich melted white chocolate and crushed candy canes with chunks of tasty Oreos mixed in, and you can serve it up at a Christmas party or hand it out as a DIY holiday treat at the office.

This Peppermint Bark recipe is incredibly easy to follow, and it’s a no-bake dessert so you can make it as a family project with the little chefs in your life. I like making this dessert with my kids because it doesn’t take forever and I don’t have to worry about any one getting their fingers singed by accident.

Here are a couple of tips for perfecting your White Chocolate Candy Cane Oreo Bark. Don’t be tempted to skip the step where you line a baking pan with parchment paper. This makes getting the bark out once it has hardened much easier. When you pour the dark chocolate mixture in the pan, use a rubber spatula to smooth the batter out from the center of the cookie sheet to get it very flat and smooth.

VARIATIONS ON WHITE CHOCOLATE CANDY CANE OREO BARK

  • Mix ins: Try mixing in crushed pretzels, white chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, or thinly sliced nuts. You can customize your Oreo Bark with a variety of different candies or nuts to fit the occasion or your own personal cravings.
  • Chocolate: You don’t just have to use white chocolate and dark chocolate for this recipe. You can experiment milk chocolate or semi sweet chocolate as well, just keep in mind that the darker the chocolate, the more brittle it is.

WHITE CHOCOLATE CANDY CANE OREO BARK FAQS

  • Why is my peppermint bark separating? The bark is separating because it wasn’t allowed to completely cool to room temperature before breaking it up.
  • Where did peppermint bark originate? No one knows for sure, but it started being served commercially in the 1960’s in Florida.
  • Will peppermint extract seize chocolate? Be careful with the amount of extract you use, since it can make the chocolate seize.

HOW LONG IS WHITE CHOCOLATE CANDY CANE OREO BARK GOOD?

  • Serve: You can keep White Chocolate Candy Cane Oreo Bark at room temperature for up to 10 days, as long as you keep it sealed up in an airtight container.
  • Store: While you can keep your Oreo Bark at room temperature, I suggest keeping it in the fridge to keep it from getting too warm and melting. Keep it wrapped up and it will stay good for up to 3 weeks. I would definitely recommend eating it when it’s fresher rather than waiting the full 3 weeks.
  • Freeze: White Chocolate Candy Cane Oreo Bark will stay good frozen for up to a year as long as it is stored in something completely sealable. I recommend layering sheets of parchment paper between the pieces of bark to keep them from fusing together.

  4. Sabrina,
    Because of health issues I have not cooked or baked in quite a while. I came across your website a few weeks ago, and I have started cooking again. Your recipes are fun and easy to follow. I have even started cooking for company. I began reviewing your cookie recipes and am going to bring my first cookie tray in twenty-five years to my sister’s house this Christmas. Thank you, Sabrina for your wonderful website and all the delicious recipes you share with us. You have helped one senior citizen renew her interest in cooking.

  5. Hi!
    Yummy candy. What a great work and idea. Children’s like most this wonderful recipe “peppermint Oreo bark candy”. Can’t wait to try. Like your idea of adding Oreo as a topping.
    If i add vanilla extract instead of peppermint flavor than what happen?
    Thanks, for this great recipe.
