ingredients needed to make Halloween Bark

HOW TO MAKE HALLOWEEN BARK:

Line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
Break up the candy melts and place them in separate bowls.
Microwave until melted according to the package directions.
Place dollops of the chocolate and white chocolate candy on the lined sheet tray. I like to make a random pattern.
Lift up the sheet tray while securing the parchment paper with your fingers so it doesn’t move and tip the melted chocolate so it will run a little but still keep the pattern. We are looking for the chocolate to be about 1/4th inch thick.
Take a toothpick and make a swirl pattern through the chocolate.
Sprinkle the M&M’s on top.
Add the sprinkles on top.
Place the candy eyeballs around the bark randomly, use as many as you’d like.
Let the bark sit at room temperature for 2 hours or until set.
Cut or break it up with your hands producing randomly shaped pieces and serve.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECIPE:

WHAT KIND OF CHOCOLATE SHOULD I USE?

You can use any type of chocolate that you prefer, such as milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate.

Chocolate candy melts are ideal for this recipe because they melt smoothly and set up nicely.

If you prefer, you can also use chocolate chips or chocolate bars, but you may need to melt them using a double boiler or in a microwave-safe bowl.

CAN I USE OTHER CANDY?

Absolutely! This is one of the best parts of making this Halloween Bark recipe.

You can use any leftover Halloween candy, such as Reese’s Pieces, candy corn, or mini pretzels.

The more colorful and festive, the better! Feel free to mix and match your favorite candies to create a bark that’s uniquely yours.

DANA’S TIPS AND TRICKS:

Use Room Temperature Candy: Make sure your candies are at room temperature before adding them to the melted chocolate to prevent them from melting.
Spread Evenly: Use an offset spatula to spread the chocolate evenly on the parchment paper for a smooth, even layer.
Get Creative: Don’t be afraid to mix and match different candies and colors to create a unique and festive look.
Work Quickly: After melting the chocolate, work quickly to add the toppings before it sets.
Chill for Best Results: If your kitchen is warm, place the bark in the refrigerator to set more quickly.
Break into Smaller Pieces: Once the bark is set, use a sharp knife to cut it into smaller pieces for easy serving.
