An easy peppermint bark recipe with dark and white chocolate, peppermint oil, and Oreo cookies. The best Christmas peppermint bark recipe for using up leftover candy canes!

Ingredients

Scale

300 grams white chocolate (10 1/2 ounces)
300 grams dark chocolate (10 1/2 ounces)
8 Oreo cookies, crushed
6 candy canes, crushed
12 drops natural peppermint oil

Instructions

Line a baking tray with parchment or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.

Add dark chocolate to a bain marie or double boiler. Melt over low heat, stirring gently, until completely melted. Remove from heat.

With a flexible rubber spatula, spread melted chocolate on prepared tray. Allow to set.*

Add white chocolate to a bain marie or double boiler. Melt over low heat, stirring gently, until completely melted. Stir in the peppermint oil.

With a flexible rubber spatula, spread white chocolate on top of dark chocolate, distributing evenly across the entire surface.

Immediately sprinkle with crushed the Oreo cookies and candy canes.

Allow tray sit at room temperature until the chocolate sets. (Depending on the temperature in your kitchen, this may take a few hours.) I don’t recommend refrigerating the finished bark unless absolutely necessary.

Once set, peel the slab away from the silicone mat. Transfer to a large cutting board.

Use a sharp chef’s knife to cut the slab into smaller pieces.

Allow peppermint bark to set thoroughly, break or cut into pieces, and enjoy!

Store peppermint bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

*I chose to temper my chocolate so it would set quickly. If you skip the tempering, it might take 30-60 minutes for the chocolate to set at room temperature. You can refrigerate briefly to speed up the process.
