Double Chocolate Oreo Bark

There is nothing quite like chocolate. No other food evokes such intense reactions as does cacao-derived fare. Whether we are talking dark chocolate, milk chocolate, semisweet or white, and whether it ends up as a cookie, cake, candy, brownie, pie or drink, the passion for this incredible food extends beyond its flavor. For me, it is a way of life and I have to have at least a little bit everyday.

While perusing my usual food blogs, I came upon a recipe for "Triple Chocolate Oreo Bark." It was a layer of dark chocolate, a layer of milk chocolate, a layer of white chocolate, and a final layer of chopped up Oreo cookie pieces. I cannot believe I am saying this, but I felt like that was just a tad bit too much. So I made a slightly different variation, by eliminating the middle layer. Who needs milk chocolate anyway? Its just plain boring.

Here is what you will need:

  • Heavy sauce pan with boiling water
  • Glass bowl
  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • 1 package dark chocolate chips
  • 1 package white chocolate chips
  • 1 package Oreo cookies

Here is what to do:
  • Lightly grease 9x13 inch pan
  • Melt dark chocolate chips in double boiler, stirring constantly
  • Pour melted dark chocolate into pan, place in freezer for 15 minutes
  • Melt white chocolate chips in double boiler, stirring constantly
  • Pour melted white chocolate over dark chocolate layer
  • Chop Oreo cookies, and generously sprinkle them on top of white chocolate layer
  • Place in freezer until set




This is a dangerously delicious treat. The dark and white chocolates pair nicely with the cookies and cream Oreos, and I love the crunchy and creamy combo! Try it, you will love it! Break up the pieces, place in a decorated bag, and you have a great little gift!
