What ingredients do I need to make Mint Oreo Bars?
Most of the ingredients you probably have on hand. Just add the mint Oreos to your grocery list and these bars will be an Oreo lover’s dream come true.
- Devil’s Food Cake Mix – 15.25 size
- Vegetable Oil – or canola oil, but definitely a neutral oil
- Water
- Large Egg
- Mint Oreos – not the mint Oreo thins
- Confectioner’s Sugar
- Milk – you can substitute water if you prefer
- Cooking Spray with Flour – I like Pam for Baking or Baker’s Joy. You’ll need it to spray the square baking pan for easy removal from the pan.
What’s the best way to crush Oreos for a recipe?
There are a few ways to make chopped Oreos. It also depends on how finely crushed you need the Oreos. For this Mint Oreo Bars recipe, I put the Oreos in a ziploc bag and used a rolling pin to break up the cookies into chunks. If you need crumbs, use a food processor. This ice cream torte uses Oreo crumbs.

Can I use other Oreo flavors in this bar recipe?
Absolutely! Oreo makes a lot of flavors and colors for that matter. The mint is perfect for the holidays or St. Patrick’s Day but you could also use the red holiday Oreos, orange Halloween ones, or any other fun flavors you can find that would pair with chocolate.
How do you store chocolate mint bar cookies?
I store them in the pan, covered with aluminum foil, on the counter at room temperature. It’s not necessary to refrigerate them. You could also cut them up and put them in an airtight container.
