Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what you’ll need to make your new favorite treat:
• 1 package (14 oz) Oreo cookies (regular or mint)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 cups white chocolate chips
• 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
• Green food coloring (optional, but fun!)
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or crushed Andes mints (for topping)
Step-by-Step Instructions (So Simple, So Good)
1. Make the Oreo Base
Start by crushing the Oreos (cream and all) in a food processor or in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into a parchment-lined 8×8 or 9×9 inch pan. Pop it in the fridge while you prep the filling.
2. Make the Mint Chocolate Filling
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Once melted, stir in the peppermint extract and a drop or two of green food coloring.
Add in the sweetened condensed milk and mix until smooth. Pour this minty goodness over your chilled Oreo crust.
3. Add the Toppings
Sprinkle the top with mini chocolate chips or crushed Andes mints for extra flavor and texture.
4. Chill & Slice
Let the bars chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better). Once set, slice into squares or bars—and try not to eat them all in one sitting!
Tips to Make Your Mint Chocolate Oreo Bars Even Better
