Spread melted white chocolate over oreo crumbles. Feel free to mix them about until well combined.

This is where I pause to tell you guys about the wonders of my Magic Bullet blender. I’ve had mine since I was in college and it has been nothing short of amazing. I use it to grind herbs and coffee, to make smoothies and home made whipped cream. It’s inexpensive and almost all of the parts are replaceable. Okay… I’ll stop.

But for this project, I used my blender to get a fine powder with the sweet stripe candy canes. This will add another texture to the chocolate and give a rich peppermint flavor. If you don’t have a magic bullet, put the peppermint sticks into a gallon plastic bag and beat with a mallet until you have teeny tiny pieces. set aside. Save 2-3 Peppermint sticks and break them into bigger chunks. These will be your garnish.

Melt red chocolate the same way you did the white then mix in peppermint powder or chunks and spread over your white chocolate oreo mixture. While the red chocolate is still wet, finish the Oreo Peppermint Bark with the chunks of peppermint stick.

Chill for 20 minutes then cut or break into pieces and enjoy!
