Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 16 ounces vanilla candy bark (candy melts, or white chocolate)
Toppings
- 1 cup mini pretzel twists
- 10 chocolate sandwich cookies with orange filling, broken into pieces
- 1 cup candy corn
- ¼ cup assorted sprinkles
- 1 cup additional candies of your choice, chopped if large
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper and set it aside. Chop or break any larger candies, cookies, or pretzels and set them ready for topping.
- Melt Candy Bark: Melt the vanilla candy bark or white chocolate according to package instructions. If using a microwave, heat at 50% power to avoid overheating the chocolate.
- Spread First Layer: Pour about half of the melted chocolate onto the lined baking sheet and spread it to about a 1/4 inch thickness evenly.
- Add Toppings: Quickly scatter a single layer of mini pretzels, cookie pieces, candy corn, and any other chosen candies over the chocolate layer.
- Top with Remaining Chocolate and Sprinkles: Pour the rest of the melted chocolate over the toppings, then sprinkle the assorted sprinkles on top for added color and texture.
- Set the Bark: Allow the chocolate bark to cool and fully set. To speed this up, place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
- Break and Store: Once firm, break the bark into pieces and store in an airtight container for up to one week.
Notes
- This Halloween Bark is highly customizable—swap the candies to fit any holiday or occasion.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and make removal easy.
- Heating the chocolate at a lower power in the microwave helps prevent burning and ensures smooth melting.
- Store the bark in a cool, dry place to maintain its texture and freshness.
