Description

This Halloween Bark is a festive and fun treat perfect for celebrating the spooky season. Made with a rich semi-sweet chocolate base, it’s drizzled with caramel and topped with colorful candy corn, pretzels, Reese’s, M&M’s, candy eyeballs, and optional Halloween sprinkles. The bark is chilled until firm and then broken into irregular shapes for easy serving and sharing.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Base

  • 3¼ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3 tbsp caramel syrup

Toppings

  • ½ cup candy corn
  • ¼ cup pretzels, roughly chopped or left whole
  • ½ cup Reese’s, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup M&M’s
  • 2 tbsp candy eyeballs
  • Halloween sprinkles, optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside to ensure easy removal of the bark later.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-30 second increments, stirring between each interval until completely smooth and melted.
  3. Spread Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate onto the lined sheet pan, spreading it evenly to the edges to form a flat, consistent layer.
  4. Add Caramel Drizzle: Drizzle the caramel syrup evenly over the melted chocolate to add a sweet, sticky layer.
  5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the candy corn, pretzels, chopped Reese’s, M&M’s, candy eyeballs, and optionally Halloween sprinkles evenly over the chocolate and caramel while still soft.
  6. Chill: Place the sheet pan in the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour or until the chocolate is completely hardened and set.
  7. Remove and Slice: Carefully lift the parchment paper out from the sheet pan and gently peel the parchment off the back of the bark. Cut the bark into irregular pieces with a sharp knife.
  8. Serve: Serve the bark cold as a festive treat for Halloween celebrations.

Notes

  • Use good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don’t have caramel syrup, you can substitute with melted caramel candies or dulce de leche.
  • To avoid melting the candy eyeballs, add them last and press lightly into the chocolate.
  • Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and crisp.
  • Customize toppings based on your favorite Halloween candies or dietary restrictions.
