Ingredients

• White chocolate chips: Look for a premium quality brand since they melt smoother and taste less waxy A creamy white chocolate gives the best results
• Mint Oreo cookies: Crush them gently so you keep some big chunks for crunch Use fresh cookies and save a handful for topping
• Peppermint extract: Just a little goes a long way adding clean bright mintiness Make sure to use pure extract not imitation for best flavor
• Green food coloring: Adds a festive touch totally optional but makes the bark extra eye catching Use a gel or natural food dye for vibrant color
• Sea salt flakes: Sprinkle a little on top to make the sweetness pop and balance the richness Choose flaky sea salt for the best texture

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Baking Tray:

Line a nine by nine inch baking dish with parchment paper Let some paper hang over the edges so you can easily lift out the bark once set

Melt the Chocolate:

Place white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl Heat in thirty second bursts stirring well between each round Continue until the chocolate is melted and perfectly smooth Be patient and do not overheat or the chocolate may seize

Flavor the Chocolate:

Mix in the peppermint extract which infuses the chocolate with cool mint Stir in a few drops of green food coloring if using blending until the color is uniform

Add Oreo Crumbs:

Gently fold in half a cup of the crushed Mint Oreo cookies Mix thoroughly so every bite has pieces of cookie distributed throughout

Spread the Mixture:

Pour the minty white chocolate mixture into your prepared dish Use a spatula to coax it into an even layer that reaches all the corners

Top with Oreos:

Scatter the remaining crushed Mint Oreo pieces evenly over the soft chocolate pressing lightly so they stick

Garnish with Sea Salt:

Lightly sprinkle sea salt flakes over the top This adds a lovely crunch and a unique contrast to the sweet chocolate

Chill:

Transfer the tray to your refrigerator Leave it for at least one hour until the bark is completely firm and set

Cut and Serve:

Lift the bark out of the pan using the parchment overhang Place on a cutting board and slice into bars or shards Share and enjoy while fresh
