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 peppermint bark myself. That’s exactly what I did this week.
The result was an Oreo-filled peppermint bark recipe that was a hit with everyone who tried it. It only took about 5-10 minutes to make and turned out great. With all the white Chocolate goodness and Oreos, it is sure to be a favorite for anyone who loves those two key ingredients (LOL – ME!!!)
MY OTHER RECIPESI think it will also make a great neighbor gift in a cute jar or tin or if you’re looking for a quick and easy treat, this is definitely a recipe to keep!
Peppermint Bark recipe:
- 1 pound Vanilla Candy Coating
- 1 TB vegetable oil
- 1 TB butter, melted
- 15 Candy Cane Oreos crushed
- 2-4 TB crushed candy cane
- Put your cubes of vanilla candy coating in a pot and melt on low heat. Stir the entire time until it is all melted.
- Add oil and butter to your chocolate and stir well. Add in ⅔ of crushed oreos and mix well.
- Pour onto your cookie sheet with foil. Spread to the thickness you want it. Sprinkle reserve oreos and crushed candy cane on top.
- Refrigerate for half hour. Enjoy!

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?
Lil' Luna
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?
Lil' Luna
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?
Lil' Luna
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?
Lil' Luna
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. 🙂
Jess
Trader Joe’s sells peppermint Jo Jo’s during the holidays – their version of Oreos. Do you have that market in Canada?
Michelle
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…
Lil' Luna
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. : )
Sue
I’m making for a bake sale. Should I store in the refrigerator or would it be ok at room temperature for a few days?
K
I think if you kept it in in the refrigerator it will stay firm rather than leaving it out
K
Can I substitute with white chocolate?????? I
