Another wonderful peppermint cookie recipe are these Copycat Girl Scout Thin Mints! It just requires 3 ingredients and is soooo easy and tasty! This Peppermint Brownie Brittle is also dynamite!
Ingredients
You only need 4 simple ingredients to make these Peppermint Bark Oreos:
- 1 package of chocolate creme sandwich cookies (Oreos)
- white chocolate melting wafers
- peppermint extract
- candy canes
Melting the Chocolate
You have two options to melt your chocolate wafers
- Microwave – put the wafers in a microwave safe bowl and pop in the microwave for 60 seconds. Stir and then continue in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until they are completely melted.
- Double Boiler- grab a pot with a heat safe bowl that will fit in the top without falling in. Fill the pot about ⅓ of the way with water (making sure the water doesn’t touch the top bowl). Put the pot over medium heat. Stir the wafers in the bowl until they are melted.
Variation
If white chocolate isn’t your jam and you can absolutely swap out dark chocolate melting wafers for the white chocolate!

Delicious! I made these last year and everyone loved them and asked for the recipe. I will definitely be making these this year and every year!

Just a quick question. The packages of melting chocolate come in 10oz and not 12oz like your recipe states. Did you use the 10oz packages or combine a few to get 24oz?

You are right, the Ghirardelli that I mention comes in 10 oz bags! I will make that change… however if you find another brand that comes in 12 oz, that will work too.
