Gather Your Ingredients

• 200 grams of dark chocolate: whole bar for rich deep flavor choose good quality brand for smooth melting
• 200 grams of white chocolate: creamy sweetness creates a beautiful contrast pick a chocolate with at least 25 percent cocoa butter
• 150 grams of Oreo cookies: classic Oreo cookies add a familiar crunch and a hint of chocolate sandwich cookie taste gently crush if you want smaller pieces
• 50 grams of heart-shaped or red and pink sugar sprinkles: brings a festive valentines look pick sprinkles that will hold shape without melting

How to Make It

Prep Your Workspace:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to make removing the bark easy and to keep your surface clean Choosing good parchment paper can prevent sticking and breaking

Melt the Chocolate:

Melt dark and white chocolates separately using a double boiler or microwave at medium heat to avoid burning or seizing Stir frequently until smooth and shiny for best texture

Layer the Goodness:

Pour the melted dark chocolate evenly on the lined sheet Spread gently but evenly then press Oreo pieces lightly into the chocolate ensuring cookies are not too clustered to keep every bite balanced

Add the White Chocolate:

Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer Using a spatula gently swirl both chocolates together to form a marbled pattern without fully mixing so the contrast remains striking

Finish with Sprinkles:

Before the chocolate hardens sprinkle the sugar hearts evenly across the surface These add both texture and festive decoration Let the mixture set at room temperature for 4 to 5 hours or refrigerate to speed up firming

Break and Serve:

Once the bark is completely set and firm gently break it into irregular pieces of your desired size This creates a rustic homemade look perfect for sharing or gifting

My favorite part is the marbled effect between the white and dark chocolate which always feels like a little piece of edible art. One Valentine’s Day I made this for a family gathering and the kids couldn’t stop marveling at the colors before they even took a bite.

Flavor Boosters

Serve the bark broken into bite-sized pieces alongside hot beverages like coffee, tea, or even a warmed glass of milk. It also pairs wonderfully with fresh strawberries or raspberries for a fruity contrast.

Serving Suggestions

Chocolate bark has roots in chocolate confectionery traditions where toppings are layered for a customizable treat. The red and pink sprinkles especially tie this recipe to Valentine’s Day but you can tailor sprinkles to any holiday or party theme year-round.

Creative Twists

For winter holidays swap sprinkles for cinnamon or nutmeg dusting and add toasted nuts. In summer include freeze-dried berries or small tropical fruit bits. Adapting colors and additions lets you keep this base recipe fresh throughout the year.

This Valentines Oreo Bark is a perfect quick and beautiful treat that anyone can make and enjoy. Give it a try to impress your loved ones with minimal effort.
