  • 7 Cool Mint Oreos 79 grams, broken into pieces
  • cups stick pretzels 60 grams
  • ½ cup peppermint baking chips 85 grams -- Andes recommended
  • ½ cup mint M&M's 85 grams. divided
  • ½ cup peanut M&M's 85 grams, divided
  • 1 pound white chocolate baking bars 454 grams -- Ghirardelli recommended
  • 2 tablespoons red and green sprinkles 24 grams

Instructions

  • Cover a large baking sheet with wax paper (I recommend wax paper, but parchment sprayed with nonstick spray will work in a pinch!)
  • Spread the broken cookies, pretzels, peppermint chips, and about ¾ of the M&M's onto the baking sheet.

  • Place the white chocolate in a microwave-safe container and microwave for 1½ minutes on medium power. Stir and then microwave for another minute until melted and smooth. Watch it carefully to make sure it doesn't burn
    1 pound white chocolate baking bars
  • Pour the melted chocolate over the cookie/candy mixture, spreading with a spatula if needed to coat completely.
  • Sprinkle the rest of the M&M's and red and green sprinkles over the still-wet chocolate. This wont work if it has hardened.
    2 tablespoons red and green sprinkles
  • Chill the tray of bark until set and firm, about 1 hour. Remove and gently break bark into small pieces.

Notes

  • Make space in your fridge for a full baking sheet. Christmas bark will need at least an hour in the fridge to set!
  • Wax paper works best for this recipe, but if you don’t have any, spray parchment paper with non-stick spray for best results.
  • You can use any variety of Oreos or M&M's you like!
  • Keep Christmas bark in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • This makes a great holiday gift! Whip up a batch, break the bark into pieces, and separate into tins or containers lined with wax paper. Perfect to bring to work or Christmas parties.
Storage: Store Christmas bark in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
