Description
Halloween Bark is a delicious, sweet, and fun to make chocolate treat. This quick and easy no bake recipe is easy to make with a handful of ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chips or coarsely chopped
- 6 ounces white chocolate, chips or coarsely chopped
- ½ cup Halloween m&m’s
- ½ cup candy corn
- 2-3 tablespoons candy eyes
- Halloween sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a large half sheet baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate either on the stove or in the microwave:
- On the stove: Bring 2 inches of water to a low simmer in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Then turn the heat to low and place a large heatproof bowl of chocolate chips on the mouth of the pot. Make sure that there is a gap of a few inches in between the bottom of the bowl and the water (You can also place a bowl on a steamer attachment on top of your pot). Stir the chocolate constantly as it melts. Stir until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted. This should take a few minutes.
- In the microwave: The second way to melt chocolate (and an easier way) is in the microwave. Place the chocolate into a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals. Remove the bowl at each interval and stir well. Repeat until the chocolate has completely melted. Stir until completely smooth
- Melt the white chocolate by repeating the above process.
- Spread the melted semi-sweet chocolate in a thin layer onto the prepared baking sheet, forming an approximate 9x12-inch rectangle, about ⅓-inch thick. Dollop the melted white chocolate on top. Use a toothpick to swirl the semi-sweet and white chocolates together.
- Immediately arrange the m&m’s, candy corn, and candy eyes onto the swirled chocolate, pressing them lightly into the chocolate, if necessary. Sprinkle the remaining gaps in the surface with sprinkles.
- Transfer the pan to the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set, about 45 minutes. Transfer the parchment paper to a cutting board and cut the bark into pieces. Serve immediately.
Notes
How to store: Once the bark has completely cooled and set, you can break it up and transfer it to an airtight container or a sealed plastic bag and store at room temperature for 3-4 weeks. Keep it in a cool area to prevent it from melting. You can also store in the fridge.
How to freeze: Because this bark is specific to Halloween, you may not want to keep it around until Christmas, but if you’re making it ahead of the holiday, you can store it in a freezer-safe airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
Adapt to fit different holidays: This bark recipe can be adapted to fit almost any holiday — Christmas, Easter, the Fourth of July are all easy to emulate! Just change the colors and types of the candy you use to reflect whatever is seasonally appropriate.
