What is cookies and cream bark made of?

  • White chocolate chips: Use regular white chocolate chips or dairy-free white chocolate chips. If you follow a vegan diet, make sure they are vegan friendly. I have listed several brands below in the FAQ.
  • Chocolate sandwich cookies: Use Oreo cookies, which are already naturally vegan and dairy-free, or any other brand. I love the Back to Nature brand and Newman-O’s brand. If you follow a gluten-free diet, you can use gluten-free Oreo cookies.

For the full ingredient measurements and step-by-step instructions, scroll down to view the recipe card at the bottom of the page.

First, line an 8×8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.

Next, add chocolate sandwich cookies to a sealed plastic bag. Using a rolling pin, crush them into chunks.

In a large bowl, add white chocolate chips or melting wafers. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until fully melted through. Alternatively, melt in a double boiler on the stovetop.

Next, pour the melted white chocolate into the baking dish and spread in an even layer. Top with the crushed cookies. Using a rubber spatula, press the crushed cookies into the melted white chocolate.

After, store in the freezer for 30 minutes or until set. Remove from the freezer. Gently lift parchment paper out of the dish to remove the bark. Using clean hands or a knife, break into pieces. Enjoy!

Why is my white chocolate not melting?

White chocolate can be finicky. Since it’s not real chocolate, it doesn’t melt as easily as dark or milk chocolate. If it overcooks or comes into contact with moisture while melting, it will seize up.

In order to prevent this, be patient and slowly melt the white chocolate. You can either use the microwave or a double boiler. If using a microwave, cook in 30-second intervals and stir between each one. If using a double boiler, do not to let any moisture in the pot.
