Throw the Oreos in a large plastic resealable bag. All the Oreos. Trust me. Now seal it up with little to no air in there and beat the blazes out of it with a meat mallet or rolling pin until you have cookie pieces. Not all crumbs, you want some chunks in there, but not whole cookies either.

Place a sheet of wax paper on a small cookie sheet and dump the cookie pieces on it. Spread them out so the wax paper is evenly covered from end to end, then sprinkle your pretzel pieces on top of the cookie pieces.

Now, melt your chocolate. Verrrrry carefully, because you do not want to burn it. You can either melt it in the microwave – I do 30 seconds at time, removing and stirring after each round, until it’s almost all melted. Then I stir until it is all melted. Or you can do it in double boiler (bowl on top of a pot of water on the stove, stir until it’s melted) but that takes longer and I don’t have the patience.

Once your delicious white chocolate is perfectly melted, spoon it over the cookie and pretzel pieces. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to carefully spread it out over the entire pan of goodies. If pieces of cookie or pretzel stick to the chocolate and spoon and wind up on top, that is a-ok!

Now you sprinkle all of of that candy deliciousness on top. Then place another sheet of wax paper on top of all of it and press down to compact all of the mixture together. Leave the wax paper there and put it in the fridge for an hour or more to firm up.

Once it’s firm, remove the top wax paper (it should just peel right off, with no sticking), and use your hands (or a knife if you prefer) to break the bark into pieces…big or small, however you want them.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve. And remember to share!!
