Ingredients You’ll Need

Core Ingredients for the Base

• 12 OREO cookies
• 24 oz white almond bark (chopped into 1-inch pieces)
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Optional Toppings and Variations

• 1/3 cup red candy wafers
• 1/3 cup bright pink candy wafers
• 1/4 cup Valentine’s M&Ms or festive sprinkles

You can also try nuts, crushed candy canes, or even tiny heart sprinkles.

How to Make Valentine’s Oreo Bark Step by Step

Prep the Cookie Layer

Split each OREO and lay them in a 6-by-4 rectangle on wax paper or a Silpat-lined baking sheet. Keep the pattern loose and casual the bark will spread between the cookies.

Melt the Almond Bark Properly

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat almond bark for 1 minute. Stir, then keep heating in 30-second bursts until smooth. Stir between each interval to prevent overheating.

Add the Pink and Red Candy Drizzle

In two smaller bowls, melt each color of candy wafers with 1 tbsp oil. Heat for 30 seconds at a time, stirring until creamy. Once your almond bark is melted, pour it over the OREOs. Then drizzle the pink and red candy over the top using a spoon.

Chill, Break, and Serve

Sprinkle M&Ms on top before the candy sets. Chill the tray for 1 hour, then break into pieces. Irregular shapes look best and feel rustic.

Pro Tips for the Best Oreo Bark Texture and Look

How to Prevent Overheating and Seizing

Always melt in short intervals and stir. Overheating almond bark can cause clumping. Adding a teaspoon of oil helps smooth it out again.

Getting Smooth and Clean Drizzles

Add oil to the candy wafers before melting. This small step makes your drizzle silky, not stiff.

Cooling Tips for Crisp Breaks and Defined Layers

Let your bark cool at room temperature first for about an hour. Refrigerating too early can cause condensation or cloudy streaks.

Easy Ingredient Swaps and Substitutions

Almond Bark Alternatives

If almond bark isn’t available, use white chocolate chips or candy melts. Add 1 tsp oil per cup to help them melt evenly.

Cookie and Topping Substitutions

You can use any sandwich cookie instead of OREOs. Or, swap out the M&Ms for nuts, crushed pretzels, or even sprinkles.

Oil Options for Melting and Drizzling

Vegetable oil works best, but coconut oil or shortening will also do the trick.
