Rich and decadent layers of cookies, creamy peppermint filling and semi sweet chocolate make these Peppermint Patty Bars a mint lovers dream!
If you love Peppermint, you’ve gotta try these Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha Cookie Cups
If I’m being honest, York Peppermint Patties are my all time favorite candy and have been since I was as little girl.
Peppermint is one of my favorite flavors and I look forward to this time of year all year-long.
From the candles in my home, to the flavor in my coffee, everything in December screams Peppermint.
So when it was time to come up with recipes for #ChristmasCookie week, making these Peppermint Patty Bars was a no brainer.
These Peppermint Patty Bars might be my all time favorite dessert on the blog.
No I’m biased because I love peppermint but these are freaking something special.
The crust is Oreo cookies so you know it’s going to be good.
Also, have you tried the Peppermint Bark OREOs?! ZOMG! Heaven.
I substituted half a package of peppermint bark OREOs for the regular pack but when you read the recipe, I didn’t specify that because I want this recipe to stand the test of time and I’m not sure if the Peppermint Bark OREOs will be around forever.
However, there is plenty of peppermint flavor in just the middle white layer so it is NOT necessary to use peppermint OREOS in the cookie layer.
But if you’re feeling extra like I was, DO IT!
These Peppermint Patty Bars are rich, decadent and a Peppermint Lovers Dream.
