Ingredients – Here’s What You’ll Need

• White Almond Bark: It melts beautifully and evenly, making it incredibly easy to work with. You can melt it in a microwave or double boiler, and it sets quickly, saving you precious time in the kitchen.

• Red filled Oreo’s: I had a package leftover from Christmas, so I thought I’d put them to use for Valentine’s Day. However, you can use regular double stuffed Oreo’s since you’re not likely to find them in stores at this time of year.

• Candy Melts: Use red, bright pink, and light pink for a rainbow of Valentine’s Day colors.

• Valentine’s Day Candy and Sprinkles: I used Plain M&M’s and Reese’s Peanut Butter Hearts.

Steps to Make Valentine’s Day Oreo Candy Bark

1. Line the bottom and sides of a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper, using oven-proof clips to secure it to the sides.

2. Place half of the almond bark in a microwave proof bowl and heat according to the package directions, until it’s smooth and creamy.

3. Pour the melted almond bark into the prepared pan and smooth it out into an even layer.

4. Place the Oreo’s in a single layer on top of the melted almond bark, pressing them slightly into the almond bark.

5. Place the rest of the white almond bark in the same bowl you melted the first half in, and melt it according to package directions, until it’s smooth and creamy. Then pour it over the Oreo’s and carefully spread it out so that it’s covering all of the Oreo’s.

6. Place the color candy melts into bowls and microwave each one for 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring after each heating, until the candy melts are smooth and creamy. It took me a total of three and a half minutes for each.

7. Using a spoon, drop globs of melted red candy on top of the white.

8. Next, using a spoon drop globs of melted bright pink.

9. Then, using a spoon drop globs of melted light pink.

10. Using a thin wooden skewer, gently swirl all the melted candy together. If the white has hardened, and you are unable to swirl, pop the pan in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes.

11. Unwrap the Reese’s Peanut Butter Hearts and place them in alternating directions in between where four Oreo’s meet, pressing them down slightly into the melted candy.

12. Place some Valentine’s Day M&M’s scattered around the top.

13. Then finish the bark off with some Valentine’s Day sprinkles. Remove the clips from the pan and place the pan in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden. After 30 minutes have passed, remove the pan from the refrigerator. Then allow the pan to sit out for a few hours to make sure the candy has completely hardened.

14. To cut it into pieces, lift the parchment out of the pan and place it on a cutting board. Then using a large kitchen knife cut the bark into pieces.

Valentine’s Day Oreo Candy Bark is more than just a treat – it’s a way to show your loved ones you care. It’s a celebration of love, creativity, and deliciousness, all in one bite. So, grab your ingredients, embrace your inner chocolatier, and whip up a batch of this Valentine’s Day magic. You won’t be disappointed!
