Kitchen Tools I Used for This Candy Bark Recipe

Chocolate candy bark really is perfect for all occasions — it’s as welcome as a Halloween treat as it is a part of your Shark Bark Week television binge.

Cookies and Cream Bark Ingredients

Premium white chocolate chips and vanilla Oreos give this sweet spring surprise a creamy, crunchy texture that will satisfy even the strongest sweet tooth!

While I used Golden Oreos, you can always use the chocolate ones. In fact, the very first time I made this recipe, I used original Oreos. However, I think the golden color of the vanilla cookies gives it a more spring-like look.

  • white chocolate chips – I prefer Ghirelldehi as it melts smoother
  • Golden Oreo cookies

Cookies and Cream Bark Recipe Instructions

Making this Easter bark candy is incredibly simple and takes just mere minutes. The hardest part of this entire recipe is waiting until you can eat it!

Note: This Cookies and Cream Bark candy has 3 layers: chocolate, a chocolate and cookie mixture, and then a final sprinkling of chopped cookies. The first chocolate layer has to have time to set before the chocolate and cookie mixture layer can go on top. And all of it has to set completely before you can remove the bark from the mold.

  • Chop Cookies – Coarsely chop cookies into small pieces. Don’t overdo it to where they turn into crumbs, you want them to have some texture and crunch in the final product.
  • Melt 1st Layer of Chocolate – Following the instructions on the bag, melt the first bag of chips in the microwave, double boiler, or candy melting pot until smooth and creamy.
  • Add First Layer to Mold – Pour a small amount of melted chocolate into the mold. Just enough to reach the top of the lines going around the individual wells. Spread it around evenly with a spatula.
  • Refrigerate – Place mold in the fridge for about 15 to 20 minutes to allow the first layer to set.
  • Melt Chocolate for Second Layer – Melt the next bag of chocolate until it’s smooth and creamy.
  • Fold in CookiesUsing a large spatula, gently fold about ¾ of the cookie pieces into the melted white chocolate.
  • Add Second Layer – Scrape the mixture out into the mold on top of the first layer. Spread evenly using a spatula.
  • Add Topping – Sprinkle the remaining cookies on top, gently pressing them to adhere to the chocolate.
  • Refrigerate – Refrigerate the cookies and cream bark candy for at least an hour or until it’s completely solid.

Note: Before attempting to remove the candy bark, make sure it has completely solidified. If you try to pull it out too early, the patterns may not turn out.

  • Remove From Mold – Carefully remove the bark from the mold. I simply carefully flipped mine over, and then peeled the mold from the bark.
  • Cut – Break or cut bark candy apart. The mold will leave lines to make cutting a cinch.

And that’s it. You’re Cookies and Cream Bark candy is ready to enjoy!

Tips for Making Cookies and Cream Bark A Success

Cookies and cream bark is made pretty much like all other candy bark recipes, except you will be chopping up cookies to combine with the melted white chocolate. Below are a few tips that will help make this recipe a success.

  • Take your time melting your white chocolate, don’t apply too much heat, let it melt slowly.
  • Instead of crumbling or crushing the cookies, use a knife to cut them. This helps maintain their integrity and crunch in the finished bark. I cut each cookie into 4-6 pieces.
  • If using original Oreo’s (chocolate), fold the cookie pieces into the melted chocolate very gently to preserve the black and white look. If you mix it up too thoroughly you’ll wind up with a greyish tint to the finished bark.

What Kind of Cookies Can I Use?

When it comes to making homemade bark with cookies, the sky’s the limit as far as what kind of cookies you use. The very first time I made this recipe, I used original chocolate Oreos. Yum! I’ve also tried chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, and even pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies.

Cookies and Cream Springtime Bark Candy Recipe

Here is a simple, yet delicious Cookies and Cream Springtime Bark Candy recipe using the incredibly cute Spring Bark Mold from Good Cook. Enjoy!

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Chocolate Setting Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 bags White Chocolate Chips
  • 15 to 18 Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, vanilla

Instructions

  1. Using a knife, coarsely chop up 15 to 18 chocolate sandwich cookies into small pieces. Don't chop them so much that they turn into fine crumbs - you want them to have some texture and crunch in the final product!
  2. Pour 1 bag of the white chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 25 second intervals, stirring after every 25 seconds so the chocolate doesn't overheat. You want to melt it until it is completely smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Pour a small amount into your Spring Bark Mold, just until it reaches the top of the mold shapes. You’ll need to use a silicone spatula to spread it around evenly.
  4. Allow it to set. I put mine in the refrigerator until it was completely set, about 20 minutes.
  5. Melt the second bag of white chocolate chips and stir in most of the chopped cookies into the melted chocolate.
  6. Scrape the candy out into the mold on top of the first layer, using the spatula to spread it out evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining cookies on top of the candy, and gently press them to adhere to the chocolate.
  8. Refrigerate the mold for half an hour or until it’s completely solid, then pop out of the pan and cut. Don’t be tempted to pull it out of the pan until it’s ready or the cute patterns won’t turn out!
