1 package of Oreo cookies
8 oz white chocolate, chopped
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies or candy canes

Instructions

Melt the White Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Be careful not to overheat.

Add Peppermint Extract

Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the peppermint extract until well combined.

Coat the Oreos

Dip each Oreo cookie into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out and tap off any excess chocolate.

Sprinkle with Crushed Peppermints

While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies on top of each coated Oreo.

Let them Set

Place the coated Oreos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow them to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens.

Your Peppermint Bark Oreos are now ready to enjoy!

For an extra touch, consider serving these Oreos with a warm cup of cocoa or peppermint tea. The combination of flavors will amplify the holiday spirit and provide a cozy experience, making your gathering even more enjoyable.

Healthier Alternatives

If you're looking for a healthier version of Peppermint Bark Oreos, consider using dark chocolate instead of white chocolate. Dark chocolate has lower sugar content and higher antioxidant properties, making it a more nutritious option. Additionally, you can use sugar-free Oreos for a guilt-free treat.

You can also reduce the amount of crushed peppermint candies or replace them with a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings for a different texture. These small tweaks can help you satisfy your sweet tooth without straying too far from your health goals.
