A quick and easy festive cookie bark featuring layers of white chocolate, Oreo cookies, and colorful red, white, and blue candies, perfect for patriotic celebrations and summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz (340 g) white chocolate chips
  • 3 tbsp (45 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 g) mini red, white, and blue M&M’s
  • 10 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup (15 g) freeze-dried strawberries, crushed (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • 2 tbsp (15 g) powdered sugar (optional, if using fresh berries)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace by lining a 9×13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Roughly chop the Oreo cookies and set aside.
  2. Melt the white chocolate chips and softened butter in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second bursts, stirring well between each until smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler on low heat, stirring gently.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness using an offset spatula or butter knife.
  5. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the chopped Oreos evenly over the surface, then add the mini red, white, and blue M&M’s, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and fresh blueberries.
  6. If using fresh berries, lightly dust the surface with powdered sugar to balance tartness.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour until the bark is fully set and firm.
  8. Remove from the fridge, peel off the parchment paper, and break the bark into irregular pieces for serving.

Notes

Use 30-second bursts when melting white chocolate to avoid seizing. Have toppings ready before spreading chocolate as it sets quickly. Chill fully for at least 1 hour for best results. For dairy-free version, substitute vegan white chocolate and coconut oil for butter. Can freeze for up to 3 months.
