Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoon butter or margarine
- 1 7 oz package mint M&Ms
- 8 red velvet sandwich cookies
Instructions
- Prepare Cookies: Place red velvet sandwich cookies into a ziplock bag and gently break them into small pieces using a heavy pot or rolling pin.
- Melt Chocolate: Place milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir well, then continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Add Butter: Melt the butter or margarine separately, then pour it into the melted chocolate. Stir thoroughly to combine and achieve a glossy consistency.
- Spread Chocolate: Line a cookie sheet with foil. Pour the chocolate mixture onto the sheet and use your hands or a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the broken red velvet cookie pieces and mint M&Ms over the melted chocolate. Gently press them down to ensure they stick to the chocolate.
- Chill: Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour, allowing the chocolate to harden completely.
- Serve and Store: Once chilled, break the bark into pieces. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
Notes
- You can substitute white or dark chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
- Press toppings gently to avoid fully embedding them; it keeps texture contrast.
- Use fresh cookies for the best crunch and flavor.
- Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- For extra decoration, drizzle some melted white chocolate over the bark before chilling.
