Oreo Crack Squares are a dreamy mixture of milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate and peanut butter. Oh my! Oreo’s chunks are also incorporated into the candy, adding a satisfying crunch and complimentary flavor.
One of the best confectionery parts of the Christmas season is homemade candy. Making it, giving it, and receiving it, I love it all! Each December I only wish there were more time to test out recipes, but I try out as many as I can with the time I am allotted.
Oreo Crack Squares were one of the treats I was able to test out this year. They just may be a new favorite! You can never go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter, but add white chocolate and Oreo’s to the mix and you have yourself candy perfection.
Christmas is well on it’s way! Every December, I find myself wondering where the month has gone. I am definitely thinking the same thing today. Time is something that can be difficult to find this time of year. There is always a Christmas party, shopping, family gathering or other commitments that tend to load up the month.
I love all of these festivities special to this time of year, but also believe we can easily spread ourselves so thin we forget to enjoy the season and reflect on it’s true significance and meaning. With that in mind, as I search for recipe ideas, I usually revert to the ones that are simple and take the least amount of time. Oreo Crack Squares are just that. They are easy as can be and ready in a time crunch.
Last Friday, as I prepared some Christmas goodies, including these bad boys, I teetered back and forth on which candy to make. Oreo Crack Squares won out, because I thought they would be delicious and especially because I knew they would be quick to whip up!
I sincerely hope you all have the Merriest of Christmases. Find the time to do what matters most to you. You won’t regret it. I love this season and all that it means for each and every one of us.
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 24 Oreo's, coarsely chunked
- 1. Line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment paper. Place milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and peanut butter in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave in increments of 60 seconds on a power level of 50-60% until fully melted. Stir in between each increment.
- 2. Coarsely crush the Oreo's. Place them in a gallon Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Do not crush too much, the larger chunks add a lot of texture to the squares. Reserve about 1/3 cup of crushed Oreo's for the topping, particularly the finer bits.
- 3. Stir Oreo chunks into the chocolate/peanut butter mixture. Pour into the parchment lined pan and refrigerate until firm. To hasten this process, place in the freezer for about thirty minutes. Cut into small squares. Enjoy!
