This Oreo Cookie Bark is a simple no bake treat that takes Oreo cookies to the next level! Two creamy layers of dark chocolate are loaded with crushed cookies and filled with homemade Oreo filling!
When I first posted this recipe back in January, 2013 (omg how is that 5 years ago?!) I knew it would be a hit. I hadn’t ever seen anything like this before, and of course, any chance I have to make homemade Oreo filling I am all in.
I mean, I am 100% a filling girl…is there even a point to eating a non-Double Stuf Oreo? I mean, unless you’re on a diet or something? I did create a whole recipe for Cookie Filling Dip…it’s really the best way to portion control your filling to cookie ratio.
Anyhow, this is really a next level Oreo treat. You have chocolate, Oreo cookies, AND a heavy-handed helping of cream filling. Plus, you don’t have to turn on your oven, and I actually keep mine in the freezer during the warm months for a sweet treat when I’m in the mood. Which, lets be real, is pretty much always.
I am all about bark. It’s like a lazy person’s candy. No molds necessary.
Start by chopping up some nice dark chocolate. I say “nice” because the better quality chocolate you use, the better this will be.
Then grab some Oreos. This will be one of the only times I say to use diet Oreos. You don’t need the extra filling in the crushed bits, because you’re going to take care of the filling situation on your own…
And chop them up very finely. You can use a food processor, a blender, or a knife and a cutting board, just make sure there aren’t large pieces.
Melt half the chocolate and stir in your crumbs.
Spread that on a lined baking sheet and place it in the freezer to set up.
While the chocolate is chilling, make the filling.
Oreo should really package their filling and sell it on its own…I mean…
When your chocolate is set, spread the filling on top…
All the way to the edges, and chill this while you prepare the remaining chocolate and cookies.
Now repeat the process again. Melt the remaining chocolate and crush up seven more Oreo cookies. Spread this on top of the filling…
Seriously.
Let that whole situation set up (I do place it in the freezer to speed up the process) and then cut it into pieces…
It might break up a bit, but that’s fine…it’s a messy, delicious excuse for dessert.
You can make this as thin or thick as you prefer, just don’t spread the chocolate too thin, as it won’t hold together very well.
Enjoy!

Description
This Oreo Cookie Bark is a simple no bake treat that takes Oreo cookies to the next level! Two creamy layers of dark chocolate are loaded with crushed cookies and filled with homemade Oreo filling!
Ingredients
- 16 ounces good quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate
- 14 Oreo Cookies
- 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Set aside.
- Finely crush or chop the Oreo cookies, divide in half and set aside.
- Chop the chocolate and divide in half. Place half the chocolate in a medium, heat safe bowl. Bring an inch of water in a medium pot to a simmer. Place the bowl on top of the simmering pot (making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water) and melt the chocolate, stirring frequently. Alternately, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30- second increments, stirring in between each until melted and smooth.
- When chocolate is melted stir in half of the crushed Oreos. Spread the mixture evenly in a thin layer on your prepared pan.
- Place in freezer to set, 10-15 minutes.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the butter and shortening until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add in the powdered sugar. Turn the mixer up to medium-high speed and mix for 1 more minute, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Set aside.
- Remove chocolate from freezer and spread the filling on top of the chocolate using an off-set spatula. Place back in freezer for another 15 minutes.
- Melt the remaining chocolate and stir in the remaining Oreo cookies using the same method as before. Spread this evenly on top of the chilling filling layer. Place back in the freezer for another 10-15 minutes until top layer of chocolate is set.
- Keep frozen or refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Cut into pieces.
Notes
Cut when chilled.
Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days

Oh dear.
I mean that in the best way possible.
Just because you read and look have doesn’t mean you have to eat. I will probably be eating but still…keep on the desserts!
Don’t worry, folks will be back by the end of the month 🙂 Plans to overhaul one’s life generally wane quickly when the cravings for chocolate set in 🙂
I love reading your posts almost as much as I love what you fix so you won’t be losing me! These look absolutely delish. Oreos are a big love of mine and I am one of the crazies that just started dieting (again) so I’m going to have to wait a wee bit to make these. Can’t wait to try them though!
It makes me sad when people diet and don’t think they can have dessert. Even if it is a very indulgent recipe, there are usually ways to lighten it up. And I could never unsubscribe dessert from my blog-reading diet. Absurd!
Here’s the thing, I give it two weeks tops. They’ll be back in hordes. Especially when they need a knockout recipe like Oreo bark to impress guests or take to a potluck.
xo
dump you… this? are you kidding me. Never!!!
You are too funny, real, and provide wonderful dessert, gift, and gluttony-fullfilling ideas!
I have no idea why they would leave you! They’re insane in the membrane! They’ll be back…and maybe we won’t let them in the cool club then.
Um…how the heck does getting emails from a hilarious, delicious baking blog make a person gain weight? Anyway, this looks great. I love reading your posts! I don’t know how widespread it is, but sometimes the Coldstone in my town has Oreo-filling-flavored ice cream. I think you’ve said you aren’t crazy about ice cream, but I thought I’d mention the flavor. 🙂
Oh wow! I have a major weakness for Oreos. Too bad for those folks who aren’t getting your updates because this recipe looks amaaaazing!
Preachin’ the truth! You keep on with your bad self girl! I love it!
