The weather is FINALLY starting to warm up around here and I couldn’t be more ecstatic! When the spring starts to reveal itself I get this urge to organize, clean and freshen up anything and everything. . .including my pantry.

I had a ton of Oreos. Winter Oreos, Spring Oreos, Heads & Tails Oreos and Mint Oreos. Some of the packages were open, others were not. I needed a home for all of these bits and pieces and these Chocolate Fudge Mint Oreo Bars were the perfect and most delicious solution. Did I mention these bars are a perfect St. Patrick’s Day treat, too?

1. I used my food processor to crush the Oreos and make a crunchy Oreo crust.
2. Then I spread softened chocolate mint ice cream over the crust.
3. I heated some fudge topping in the microwave and swirled it into the ice cream.
4. After that, I mixed up some yummy whipped cream and spread that over the ice cream and fudge combo.
5. Lastly, I sprinkled chunks of Mint Oreos all over the top and placed it in the freezer.

When you’re ready to dig in, let the bars thaw a bit before cutting. You can see all of the delicious layers and the fudge just swirling around in the ice cream. If you’re not crazy about a crunchy crust you could easily swap it out with a chewy, brownie crust. Yum.

When the bars start to soften further, the fudge starts to ooze out, and all of the layers just start coming together. Even if you’re not a huge mint fan, these bars are oober delicious. I promise.

So, Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Happy Cleaning, Happy Spring and Early Easter. . .happy, happy, happy. Your days are going to get much brighter after you make these bars! Just sayin’!
