Oreo Cookie Bark

Leave a reply

A co-worker passed this recipe along to me just after the holidays and I completely forgot about it until this weekend.  When I found it attached to my fridge, I knew I had to make up a batch.  With only four ingredients, this is super easy to make.  It’s also a great recipe for the kids to help with since the chocolate can be melted in the microwave!

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp peanut butter
1 package (6 squares) white chocolate, melted
1 package (8 squares) semi-sweet chocolate, melted

Add peanut butter to white chocolate and stir until well blended.  Stir 1/2 of cookie crumbles into each bowl of chocolate.  Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate mixtures onto a waxed paper covered baking sheet, alternating colors of chocolates.  Swirl with a knife.  Refrigerate until firm (about 1 hour).  Break into pieces and enjoy!

This is one of those old stand-by recipes that everyone seems to have but I never knew how to make them until my mother-in-law gave me the recipe. They also just happen to be my husband’s favorite cookies. However, I think when I actually make them I end up eating most of the batch before he gets to them!
