Ingredients
Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Baking Squares
8 (broken into squares)
Baker's White Chocolate Baking Squares
6 (broken into squares)
Peanut Butter
2 tablespoons (smooth and creamy)
Oreo Cookies
10 (crumbled)
Instructions
1
Begin by placing the semi-sweet chocolate squares in one medium microwave-safe bowl and the white chocolate squares in another medium microwave-safe bowl.
2
Microwave each bowl separately in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolates are completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
3
Once the white chocolate is melted, stir in the peanut butter until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
4
Crumble 5 Oreo cookies into the melted semi-sweet chocolate and mix well. Repeat the same process with the remaining 5 cookies in the white chocolate mixture.
5
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with wax paper. Using a spoon, drop alternating spoonfuls of the two chocolate mixtures onto the prepared sheet to create a beautiful swirled pattern.
6
With a sharp knife or a skewer, gently cut through the chocolate mixtures to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix.
7
Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap or foil and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is firm.
8
Once set, remove from the refrigerator, lift the bark off the wax paper, and break it into 14 pieces.
9
Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness.
