OREO Bark AKA Christmas Crack Ingredients
Here’s what you need to make this easy holiday candy. The measurements are in the printable recipe card below.
- Meltable white chocolate
- OREO cookies
- Red and green M&Ms
Holiday Bark Candy Directions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Break up OREO cookies into quarters and thirds. Use about 25 OREOS depending on your preference. Place the pieces into a bowl and set aside.
Place 8 ounces of white candy melts or another meltable white chocolate in a small, microwave-safe bowl.
Add the rest of the white chocolate to a large, microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second intervals. Stir the chocolate after each round until it’s fully melted and smooth.
Add the OREO pieces to the large bowl of melted chocolate and stir gently to coat.
Scoop the melted chocolate with coated OREOS onto the baking sheet and spread evenly.
Melt the 8 ounces of chocolate that you previously set aside in 30-second intervals until smooth.
Break up about 4-5 more OREOS into coarse pieces for the topping.
Pour about 7 ounces of the melted chocolate over the top of the mixture that’s on the baking sheet. Spread evenly.
Add the broken OREO pieces to the top of the bark and sprinkle on the M&Ms.
Drizzle the remaining amount of melted chocolate on top of the cookies and candies.
Set the baking sheet into the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to harden.
Remove the sheet and break the bark candy with your hands or cut it into pieces.
Serve at room temperature or chilled.
Christmas OREO Bark Candy Recipe Notes and FAQ
I don’t want to use a microwave.
