One of the main reasons I love this time of year so much is because of all the yummy treats that show up. Peppermint this and Egg Nog that – the list of goodies is endless! Wouldn’t you agree?
One of the treats I’ve always loved but only get to enjoy every few years is Bark. It’s one of my favorites! When I saw some Candy Cane Oreos at the store I knew they would be the perfection addition to bark and knew I had to make some myself. That’s exactly what I did this week.
The result: Candy Cane Oreo Peppermint Bark
I think it will also make a great neighbor gift in a cute jar or tin!
Here’s the recipe:

I was never a really big peppermint fan until this year and now I’m seeing it in all kinds of goodies. Your bark looks great!
Have a great weekend!
Hi. I hope this doesn’t sound stupid, but what is vanilla candy coating and where can you get it?
Not a dumb question at all. It’s either called Vanilla Candy Coating or White Chocolate Squares. It’s in the baking section usually right above the chocolate chips. I get mine at Wal-Mart and it’s a few bucks for a package which has about 12 squares (which is what this recipe takes). Hope that helps!
I’m going to have to add this to the candy tins that I”m making for friends!

Great recipe! I love peppermint bark, but want to look for something new as well. Just a question. I use the Plymouth Pantry almond bark, and it says not to use butter or oil to thin, rather shortening. What candy coating do you use?

This was one I got from Walmart.. I think it was caled Candy Quick. I think it would be fine without the oil and butter, but I thought I’d try it out and it tasted and worked great.
I picked up some peppermint Oreos a few weeks ago and was wondering what to do with them…now I know! And I love the Candy Cane font you used….where did you get it?

It is listed on this Christmas font list I made: http://lilluna.com/favorite-christmas-fonts-and-graphics/ It’s called Candy Stripe
I love the look of this recipe, and went off to the grocery store to get all of the ingredients this morning. I am disappointed to see that I am having a hard time finding the peppermint oreos. I have been to two grocey stores already. i live in Toronto – does anyone know if they sell them here?
Do you have a Target in Toronto? That is where I found them here. Sorry you haven’t been able to find them.
I would also consider using the Red Holiday Oreos and just added more candy cane pieces to make it more Peppermint-y. 
Where did you find the Candy Cane Oreos? I have looked a few stores and haven’t been able to track them down… I don’t even see them listed on Oreo’s website…
I found mine at Target, but have only seen them there. Have you checked there?
I can’t wait to try this recipe. Definitely on my list of goodies to bake for Christmas. I picked up the candy cane oreos last night. : )
