Cookies and Cream Bark
Description
The preparation for Cookies and Cream Bark starts with melting white candy coating or white chocolate chips gently in a microwave-safe bowl using short intervals to prevent seizing. Carefully stirring is key to achieve a smooth melted chocolate base.
The chopped Oreo cookies are folded in gently to avoid crushing them, preserving the recognizable cookie chunks throughout the bark. Once combined, the mixture is spread evenly on a parchment or wax paper-lined baking sheet to about a quarter inch thickness. The resulting bark doesn’t need to be perfectly smooth; the visible cookie bits create a characteristic textured look.
The bark is allowed to set at room temperature or chilled briefly in the refrigerator to firm up, making it easier to break into pieces for serving. This treat is quick to prepare and offers a sweet, creamy contrast with the crunch of cookies in a simple candy-style bark.
Ingredients
- 12 oz white candy coating or white chocolate chips
- Oreo cookies about 15, chopped into small pieces (cut into 4-6 pieces each
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper.
- If you are using a bar of candy coating, chop it in small pieces. Put the coating, or the chips, in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for one minute. Stir the chocolate and then microwave again in very short 15 second bursts to completely melt it. Stir in between and let the heat in the bowl do some of the work. Don't over do the microwave or the chocolate will seize up into a solid mass. Keep stirring until all the little lumps are melted.
- Gently mix in the chopped cookies. I like to do this with a large silicone 'spoonula' and I fold them in so they don't get crushed.
- Immediately turn the mixture out onto the cookie sheet and spread it out as evenly as you can to a layer approximately 1/4" thick. It doesn't have to be completely smooth, the nubbly appearance of the cookies poking through is fine!
- Let the bark set up at room temperature, or chill it in the refrigerator. It will be easier to cut if it is not cold.
- Cut it into squares, or irregular pieces.
Notes
- This recipe is adapted from Bakers Royale with minor adjustments.
