Ingredients
- 12 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup white chocolate melts
- ⅓ cup Halloween M&M's
- 3 tablespoons Halloween sprinkles
- 2 tablespoons candy eyes
Instructions
- Place the semi sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 30-second bursts in the microwave until completely melted.
- Pour the melted chocolate into a lined springform pan or baking dish and tap to release bubbles.
- Melt white chocolate melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 30-second bursts in the microwave until completely melted.
- Spread with an offset spatula until ¼ inch thick. (This will make for a thinner bark. You may make yours thicker, but you will have less pieces and it will also take longer to solidify.)
- While the chocolate is still wet, drizzle half the melted white chocolate over the semi sweet chocolate.
- Then sprinkle m&m's and sprinkles on top.
- Drizzle the remaining melted white chocolate and finish with the candy eyeballs.
- Allow to cool and set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about an hour.
- Once set, chop with a sharp knife into 1-2” irregularly sized pieces.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
Notes
Top tips for making this chocolate bark
- Here are top tips for making Halloween candy bark with semi-sweet chocolate:
- Use high-quality chocolate – better chocolate melts smoothly and gives a glossy finish.
- Chop evenly – cut the chocolate into similar-size pieces so it melts at the same rate.
- Melt gently – use a double boiler or short microwave bursts, stirring often, to avoid scorching.
- Line the pan – parchment paper makes it easy to lift and break the bark once set.
- Spread thinly and evenly – about ¼ inch thick for easy breaking and perfect snap.
- Add toppings quickly – sprinkle M&M’s, candy eyes, or sprinkles while the chocolate is still warm so they stick.
- Cool at room temp – let the bark set naturally to maintain shine; refrigerate only if your kitchen is very warm.
Storage instructions for Halloween chocolate bark
- Room Temperature: Store broken bark pieces in an airtight container at cool room temp for up to 1 week. Keep away from heat or direct sunlight to prevent melting.
- Refrigerator: If your kitchen is warm, refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks. Place parchment between layers to prevent sticking and blooming (white streaks).
