Oreos are not just a cookie — they’re a versatile ingredient that will take your baking to the next level. I always try keep a pack or two stashed in the cupboard for those times when you need a little extra flavor and cuteness. Here are 10 genius ways that Oreo cookies can help make homemade treats even better.
1. Give bark some extra bite
Chocolate bark is such an easy holiday treat, and a few smashed Oreo cookies will add just the right amount of crunchiness. This 2-ingredient bark is the easiest treat you’ll ever make. Wrap it up in a cellophane bag with a big red ribbon, and you’ve got a simple and impressive holiday gift.

4. Frosting goals
Make a vanilla buttercream frosting extra special with some crushed Oreo crumbs mixed in. Or, if you’re stuck for a cupcake topper, perch a mini Oreo on top of your frosting for instant cuteness.
