Step 2: Melt the Almond Bark

Place the chopped almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 1 minute, stir, then continue microwaving in 30-second intervals until fully melted and smooth.

Step 3: Melt the Colored Candy

Divide the vegetable oil evenly between two small bowls. Add pink candy wafers to one bowl and red wafers to the other. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until glossy and pourable.

Step 4: Assemble the Bark

Pour the melted almond bark evenly over the Oreo base, covering all cookies completely. Drizzle the pink and red candy melts over the top in a decorative pattern. Sprinkle Valentine’s M&Ms over the surface while the bark is still warm.

Step 5: Set and Break

Let the bark set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or refrigerate for faster setting. Once firm, break into rustic pieces or cut with a knife.
