Birthday Cake White Chocolate Bark is another, and possibly my favorite, in my ever expanding bark family. Bark is one of those fun desserts that is super easy to make and always gets devoured. My whole family is obsessed with my Mint Oreo Bark. Next time you are hosting a gathering, make up a batch of this easy and delicious treat.
How to Make Birthday Cake Bark
This is a brief overview of how to make this delicious and fun no bake dessert. For the full recipe with all of the ingredients see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Break up the Oreos. These classic cookies put chocolate bark over the top. Read more about finding birthday cake Oreos below.
- Melt the chocolate. Read more about melting white chocolate below.
- Combine the ingredients. Whisk the cake mix into the melted chocolate. Then stir in the Oreos.
- Let it set. Pour the chocolate mixture into a prepared sheet pan and top with sprinkles. Once the chocolate sets, break up the chocolate.
Using Leftover Cake Mix
We are using 1/4 cup cake mix to bring in that great cake flavor. If you are looking to use up more of that box of cake mix, make this Cake Batter Dip or my Cheesecake Cups.
Melting White Chocolate
As you likely know, there really is no such thing as white chocolate. Chocolate comes from the cocoa plant and the universe just didn’t make that in a white flavor. So we are talking about white baking morsels here.
It is important to note that white chocolate is very particular in how it is handled. If it gets even a drop of moisture in it, it can seize up and go from smooth and delicious to really difficult to work with. Make sure the bowl you melt it in is very dry. You can definitely use a double boiler to melt it, but it increases the risk of moisture getting in. It tends to be best to follow the microwaving instructions on the package.
It is also important to not overheat it. You want to microwave it for as minimal amount of time as possible. A lot of stirring in between microwaving will help things a long and prevent overheating.
Birthday Cake Oreos
When this post was first written, birthday cake Oreos came in both chocolate and golden. The golden ones were frankly the greatest thing ever made. I haven’t been able to find them in some time. You can make these with chocolate birthday cake Oreos, though the results might not be as visually appealing. Or, you can make these with plain golden Oreos as it will get a lot of the birthday cake flavor from the cake mix.
Sheet Pans
Storing
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week. You can also freeze this recipe, chocolate bark freezes great. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months.

Husbands…I can’t get mine to stop eating my treats. I have to quickly photograph things before theyr’e gone! The bark looks amazing by the way :)
Lol Kathleen! My whole family knows they have to ask me before they try treats to see if it’s been photographed, if I’m happy with the photos, and if it is now fair game :)

Hi there! I haven’t tried this yet, but it looks amazing. I just wanted to confirm that the dry cake mix does not have to be baked first?
Correct, it is unbaked.

May I add mini Marshmallows to the bark without it causing a problem?
Yeah, that shouldn’t be a problem!
