Sometimes life demands a little sweetness, and Valentine Oreo Cookie Chocolate Bark is exactly what you need to satisfy that craving. Easy to prepare and next to no clean up; treat your Valentine to a homemade goody this year!
I cannot tell you how simple this recipe is to make! I know I say that in many of my posts, and it’s probably the result of me loving being in the kitchen so much. I find cooking and baking to be extremely therapeutic and relaxing. It’s my de-stress technique of choice.
Truth be told, for this recipe to come to life, all you need are the ingredients, a baking sheet, and parchment paper. No microwave or double boilers needed to melt the candy melts – just an oven set at 350 degrees and you’re all set!
So, there’s really no excuse not to present your loved one(s) with a homemade Valentine’s treat, rather than spending a small fortune on store-bought chocolates and confectioneries. We all know, Dear Reader, the Valentine’s Day mark-up for most retailers can be astronomical. Save your hard-earned money and make your own chocolates.
Valentine Oreo Cookie Chocolate Bark
Ingredients
- 2 cups red candy melts
- 1/2 cup white candy melts
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate candy melts
- 10 Oreo cookies, roughly broken into pieces
- 3 tablespoons sprinkles, I used 1 tablespoon of three different types including red and pink hearts
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Using only the red candy melts, line each melt up, one by one, in a single layer until the entire surface of the baking sheet has been covered.
- Randomly place the milk chocolate and white candy melts over the top of the red candy melts.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and turn the oven on to 350 degrees.
- Once the oven reaches 350 degrees, remove the baking sheet from the oven and using the back of a metal spoon, smooth out the melted candy melts.
- Sprinkle over the broken Oreo, pushing them slightly into the melted chocolate.
- Sprinkle over the candy sprinkles.
- Transfer to the baking sheet to your refrigerator for 1 hour to set.
- Break into bite sized pieces. To store, simply stack in a food safe container and freeze or refrigerate.

I make a ton of barks around Christmas because they are easy to prepare and super tasty. This Valentine’s Day themed bark looks like it is chock full of yummy stuff!

That’s the cool thing about bark, it’s totally adjustable to fit any occasion.
Daniela Anderson says
What would Valentine’s Day be without a sweet treat?! I agree that store-bought ones are just ridiculously expensive, l was looking for some posh(er) chocolates the other day and one tiny little box with only 4 chocolates was £5. What a rip off! So, yes, home-made all the way!
We are not too familiar with chocolate bark in the UK, at least not as l’m aware of, but your recipe looks like a dream, especially with those oreo cookies added. A real treat!
byronethomas@gmail.com says
I agree, Daniela! That’s why I make my own Valentine’s treats.
Julie | Bunsen Burner Bakery says
I love how easy this is – you don’t even have to melt the chocolate first! But I’m just a little concerned about the recipe. How are 10 oreos possibly enough?! Isn’t the answer to everything in life “more oreos!” 😉
byronethomas@gmail.com says
Hahaha – adjust to your liking, my dear! It’ll be out little secret. 🙂
Stephanie@ApplesforCJ says
I’m the same way about cooking. It is therapeutic to me as well. I kind of go into my own little world when cooking. This Valentine oreo bark would be great for Valentines day and I personally have a family member that I know would love for me to make them some 🙂
byronethomas@gmail.com says
Same here. And, I get totally annoyed when someone comes into the kitchen and interrupts my groove. 🙂
Amy Katz from Veggies Save The Day says
Oreo’s have always been my favorite! This is totally my kind of recipe, so easy and so festive!
Megan Marlowe says
Mmmm… this looks delectable. I saw earlier today somewhere was charging $2 for a chocolate covered strawberry! I can buy a whole pint for less than that and do it myself. So I’m all about the DIY Valentine treats! I’m loving this bark. It’s festive, has chocolate and sprinkles and OREOS! Can’t go wrong when those delicious cookies are included! Can’t wait to make this with my kids!

These insane prices are exactly why we do all of our treats the old fashioned way – at home!
Sarah @ Champagne Tastes says
I’ve banned Oreos from my house (along with Nutter Butters) because I CANNOT STOP EATING THEM! So I’m pretty sure I could eat this whole batch in one sitting. Lol. So yummmmmy
byronethomas@gmail.com says
Believe it or not, Oreos are not a common item in our pantry. I bought a bunch on sale at Christmas time for another recipe, and the left over bags made it all the way to February. Not bad!
Marlynn | UrbanBlissLife says
I love holiday bark! This looks like a delicious Valentine’s Day version, and I am always up for tasty recipes that are easy.

Thank you, Marlynn. 🙂
Gloria @ Homemade & Yummy says
Not only does this look awesome, it sounds totally addictive. I am one that thinks anything Valentine related should be made with love at home. Nothing beats homemade for any occasion.
byronethomas@gmail.com says
Homemade all the way, Gloria! I’m with you on that. 🙂
Ankit says
looks yummy!
Kathy McDaniel says
You got me at oreos! Not only this sound delicious but it is also soooooo pretty looking! Homemade beats anything you can buy. Definitely making this for my boys!
byronethomas@gmail.com says
LOL – I know, right!?
Hanady | Recipe Nomad says
This looks a absolutely perfect for Valentine’s Day! My hubby loves chocolate bark- well he loves anything chocolate. The Oreos on top is like the icing on the cake for him too! Can’t wait to make this!
byronethomas@gmail.com says
Thanks, Hanady. 🙂
Sandhya Ramakrishnan says
I find cooking and baking very relaxing as well and that;s the reason I am in kitchen so much. Love simple recipes that are quick to make with few ingredients. We only recently got to taste chocolate bark and got very addicted to them. My boys (including the husband) would love this oreo topped bark.

Being in the kitchen, preparing recipes for family provides such pleasure; does it not? 🙂
Anne Murphy says
I’ve never used candy melts, but that looks *so* easy! And I love the cute assortment of sprinkles!
byronethomas@gmail.com says
I’ve not used candy melts very often, but they are quite whimsical. Thanks!
Giselle Rochford says
Whoa this looks unreal. I usually just make regular chocolate bark but I’m loving the red. Need to source some vegan candy so I can give it a try! (Luckily, Oreos are accidentally vegan ? )
Kylee from Kylee Cooks says
If I told you I loved you, would you make this for me? Lol. Seriously – this looks perfect for Valentine’s Day – a lovely treat for the ones you love!

Haha! Yes!!
