Chocolate Mint Dream Bars

Print Recipe

A no-bake dessert featuring a mint Oreo crust topped with peppermint cheesecake filling, chocolate fudge pudding, and chopped Andes mints for a rich and refreshing chocolate mint treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 mint Oreos
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • a few drops green food gel (optional)
  • 1 cup Cool Whip, divided
  • 1 (3.4 oz) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1/2 cup chopped Andes mints
  • Additional crushed mint Oreos, chocolate shavings, and chopped Andes mints for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pulse the mint Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Combine crumbs with melted butter and press into the bottom of a square baking dish. Freeze while preparing other layers.
  2. Beat cream cheese with confectioners’ sugar, peppermint extract, and green food gel until smooth. Fold in 1 cup of Cool Whip until light and fluffy.
  3. Whisk instant chocolate pudding mix with cold milk until thickened. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
  4. Layer the dessert in this order on the Oreo crust: chopped Andes mints, peppermint cheesecake mixture, chocolate pudding, and remaining Cool Whip.
  5. Chill the assembled bars for at least 2 hours or overnight. For easier slicing, freeze for 30 minutes before serving.
  6. Garnish with crushed mint Oreos, chocolate shavings, and more chopped Andes mints if desired.

Notes

For neat slices, chill the bars thoroughly and freeze briefly before cutting. The combination of Andes mints and mint Oreos creates a perfect balance of mint and chocolate flavors. This dessert is best served chilled and can be made ahead of time.
