Pro Tips
A list of at least two tips.
- Crush the Oreos evenly: Use a food processor or place the Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they are finely crushed. Make sure to crush them as evenly as possible so that your bark has a uniform texture.
- Melt the chocolate slowly: Use a double boiler or microwave the chocolate in short bursts, stirring frequently, to prevent it from burning. Be patient and melt the chocolate slowly to keep it smooth and silky.
- Add your toppings quickly: Once you’ve spread the melted chocolate on your baking sheet, sprinkle your toppings on right away before the chocolate starts to harden. This will ensure that everything sticks together nicely.
- Chill thoroughly: After adding your toppings, pop your baking sheet in the fridge for at least an hour (or overnight) until the chocolate has hardened completely. This will make it easier to break into pieces without any mess.
