Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1 7 oz package mint M&Ms
- 8 red velvet sandwich cookies
Instructions
- Break Cookies: Place the red velvet cookies into a ziplock bag and use a heavy pot to break them into small pieces suitable for sprinkling.
- Melt Chocolate: Put the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30 second intervals, stirring after each until smooth and fully melted.
- Add Butter: Melt the butter or margarine separately and pour it into the melted chocolate, stirring thoroughly to combine.
- Spread Mixture: Pour the chocolate mixture onto a foil-lined cookie sheet. Using your hands or a spatula, press and spread the chocolate evenly across the sheet.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the broken red velvet cookie pieces and mint M&Ms evenly over the chocolate. Gently press them into the chocolate to ensure they stick.
- Chill: Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until the bark is firm.
- Serve and Store: After chilling, break the bark into pieces. Store leftovers in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For a smoother bark, use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly instead of hands.
- You can substitute the mint M&Ms with other candies like crushed peppermint or regular M&Ms for different flavors.
- Ensure the cookies are broken into small enough pieces so they adhere well to the chocolate.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute the chocolate chips and butter with suitable vegan alternatives.
