Day two of Magic Cookie Bar Week and after going a little peppermint crazy with yesterday’s Peppermint Bites From Other Blogs, I simply had to bring some peppermint goodness to a magic cookie bar.
These are loaded with just about every candy cane flavored treat I had in my house, including Candy Cane Oreos, White Chocolate Peppermint M&M’s and Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Bits.
As my philosophy always goes, if you can’t find these items, just substitute and use something else. No Candy Cane Oreos? Use regular and add a bit of crushed up candy canes to the mix, or use another brand such at Trader Joe’s Peppermint JoJos. No Peppermint M&M’s? Use plain, or white chocolate ones or a totally different candy. No Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Bits? Any sort of chopped up peppermint bark will do. Seriously, get creative!
I used about ten Candy Cane Oreos chopped up to use on top of the bars, and about 1 1/2 cups of Candy Cane Oreo Crumbs (ran the cookies through my food processor to create the crumbs) for the crust.
Then topped with sweetened condensed milk, coconut, the chopped up Candy Cane Oreos, Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Bits, White Chocolate Peppermint M&M’s (I found at Target) and chocolate chips.
And baked for 25-30 minutes.
