Chocolate Cookie Bark

I gave this Chocolate Cookie Bark as gifts to a few people, wrapped in cellophane and curly ribbon, and got several requests for the recipe. Bark is a Christmas staple for many... adding Oreo cookies to it can only be a good thing.


Bonus (if you need one beyond the Oreos): it couldn't be easier to make and the marble effect looks so impressive.

I found this recipe on the Kraft Canada site and have made it two years in a row.

INGREDIENTS

1 pkg. (8 squares) semi-sweet chocolate
1 pkg. (6 squares) white chocolate
2 Tbsp smooth peanut butter
10 Oreo cookies

DIRECTIONS

Chop Oreos into small pieces, about the size of a dime (this is my preference).

Place semi-sweet and white chocolate in separate medium microwaveable bowls. Microwave until completely melted, in short intervals (30 seconds), and stirring frequently. (I like to use a water bath instead of a microwave to avoid burning the chocolate).

Add peanut butter to the white chocolate; stir until well blended.

Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate mixtures onto a baking sheet that is covered with wax paper, alternating the colours of the chocolates. Cut through the chocolate mixtures several times with a knife for the marble effect.
