Recipe: Chocolate Cookie Bark

How can I describe how good this bark is? Like most holiday treats is terrible for you but oh so good! It has a bit of a crunch from the Oreo cookies and is wonderfully sweet and tastey with white and dark chocolate and peanut butter.. need I say more :)

My husband said 5 people approached him at work this week asking him when he'd be bringing some in. I was very flattered and laughed as the recipe takes less than 10 minutes to prepare with no oven or anything! I've made this a number of times and it's great for bake sales as it sells fast.

The original recipe is from the Kraft Canada Foods website here which even includes a downloadable gift tag. There's even a YouTube video from Kraft Canada to show you exactly how to do it here!

Below is my slightly modified version. In lieu of the Oreo's you could really use any type of cookies or nuts. I've made it with sliced almonds and it worked well.

CHOCOLATE COOKIE BARK

1 bag of dark chocolate chips

1 box of white chocolate

10 crumbled Oreo cookies

2 Tbsp. peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

~ Break up Oreo cookies into a bowl and set aside.

~ Place dark chocolate chips into a bowl and microwave 45 seconds, stir, microwave for another 45 seconds and carefully remove hot bowl from microwave. Stir. Mix in half of the crumbled Oreo cookies.

~ Place white chocolate squares into a bowl and microwave 45 steconds, stir, microwave for another 45 seconds and carefully remove hot bowl from microwave. Stir. Add to melted chocolate 2 Tbsp. of peanut butter and stir. Mix in the last half of the crumbled Oreo cookies.

~ Drop each bowl of chocolate by spoonfuls onto parchment (not wax) paper covered cookie sheet. Take knife and glide it through the chocolate to create the marble effect and spread out the chocolate a bit.

~ Put into fridge for at least and hour then break into bite sized pieces and place in wax lined, air-tight container.
