Mint Oreo Cheesecake Bars - the perfect mint chocolate treat! | LoveGrowsWild.com

I don’t know about you, but I’ve had some serious mint dessert cravings lately! With St. Patrick’s Day just around the corner, I’ve been seeing all kinds of amazing mintlicious desserts floating around the blogosphere, and today I’m sharing my contribution to the mint craze: Mint Oreo Cheesecake Bars!

When I’m grocery shopping, I strategically plan to avoid the snack aisle at ALL costs. It’s a dangerous place to go, my friends. It is already hard enough trying to resist adding bags of Cool Ranch Doritos to the cart, and then I get to the end of the aisle and a glorious display of Oreos sits before me, begging to jump into my cart too. Have you seen how many varieties of Oreos they have now? It’s crazy! I definitely don’t remember having all those fun flavors as a kid. I spend the next 10 minutes staring at the bags of Oreos, trying to convince myself that I don’t NEED them, but gosh… they’re just so yummy. It’s better that I avoid that aisle all together so I don’t end up with a pantry stocked full of Oreos and nothing else!

BUT, in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, mint-chocolate desserts, and Oreo lovers everywhere, I broke down and bought a bag of beautiful, minty-green Oreos just so I could make these delicious cheesecake bars for you. I know… I totally earned a gold star today for this one! 😉

The recipe starts by separating the Oreo cookies and the mint filling into two bowls. The cookies get mixed with some butter and sugar to form an amazing Oreo crust, and the mint filling gets added to the cheesecake mixture that goes on top of the crust. A couple more Oreo pieces on top and about 15 minutes in the oven, and you have the perfect minty cheesecake to enjoy!

The cheesecake is sweet and creamy, and the Oreo-studded topping makes for a beautiful presentation. And that crust… OH, that crust! Let’s just say that I’m very happy that bag of Oreos ended up in my shopping cart. Mint Oreos for the win!

    I’m very disappointed with how this turned out. The cookies and cream Jell-o made it an awful color, not a pastel green like your pictures, which are lovely BTW, but a muddy grayish green. Also the texture was very gelatinous and not creamy like cheesecake.

      Hi Cecilia, I’m so sorry to hear that! I’ve made this recipe a handful of times using the Cookies and Cream Jell-o Instant Pudding, and the consistency came out the same each time. Did you add the mint filling from the Oreos into the pudding mix? At times when I couldn’t find the Cookies and Cream Pudding, I’ve used regular vanilla pudding, and that seems to help keep the color more green also. Just wanted to give a few suggestions on what might have happened! Again, I’m sorry this didn’t turn out for you!

        Yes, I used the mint filling. Thank you for your suggestions.

            ****mess up. I’m guessing “don’t add egg to instant pudding.

    Thanks,
