Halloween Candy Bark
Halloween Candy Bark is, hands down, the easiest homemade candy recipe ever. This no-bake dessert can be made with your favorite sweet and salty toppings.
Need a last minute Halloween treat? Or maybe a way to use up that leftover candy corn? Maybe you just want a sweet n’ salty treat to snack on when you’re watching your favorite Halloween movie. Either way you can whip up this Halloween Candy Bark in a flash!
Barks are great that way. Candy it self always seems so daunting. But not barks. Barks are incredibly easy. And so versatile! Let’s talk about this one.
What ingredients do you need?
- WHITE CHOCOLATE MELTS: I really like Ghiradelli white chocolate melts but you can use or any white chocolate candy melts you can find.
- CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUMBS: I removed the white stuf from Oreos and crushed them.
- PRETZELS: Mini pretzel twists work perfect for this. But since you’re breaking them up you can use pretzel sticks too.
- M&Ms: Use milk or dark chocolate or even peanut butter!
- CANDY CORN
- SPRINKLES
How do you make candy bark?
One of the great things about this dessert, is that aside from some microwaving to melt the chocolate, there is no cooking. That makes it great for last minute and also makes it a really great easy dish for the kiddos to tackle all by themselves.
STEP #1: Melt the chocolate according to package directions and spread in a thin layer on 10×15 inch cookie sheet.
STEP #2: Sprinkle the remaining ingredients over the chocolate and then press so they adhere. Chill until hardened, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
STEP #3: Break into pieces and serve.
Storing:
Keep this in an air tight container in the refrigerator to keep the chocolate hard. It’ll last for several days.
