Halloween Candy Bark

Making Halloween Candy Bark is a super easy project and fun to eat. All you need is a baking sheet, some parchment paper, and a variety of Halloween candies. You’ll also need chocolate, of course. Just melt the chocolate, spread it on the baking sheet, sprinkle on your favorite candies, and let it set. It’s like creating your own little Halloween masterpiece.

One of the best things about making this candy recipe is that you can customize it to your liking, just like I did with different colored chocolate. Want a spooky black and orange bark? Use dark chocolate and black and orange M&Ms. Prefer a colorful and festive treat? Mix up white, milk, and dark chocolate with a variety of colorful candies. The possibilities are endless.

You can serve it as a snack, a dessert, or even as a party favor along with these Halloween Mickey and Minnie Oreo Pops. It’s the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth and get into the Halloween spirit.

Timesaving Tips and Variations

Using these tips will give you the best results and delicious candy to snack on with enough ways to change it up for any party theme.

• There are a variety of colored chocolate melting wafers sold in the craft stores. Get creative with your colors or use a blend of dark chocolate and white chocolate.
• It’s important to follow the chocolate package’s directions for melting so that your chocolate doesn’t seize.
• You can use white chocolate chips, and I recommend that if you do, you use a double boiler to melt the chips.
• This is also a wonderful way to use up some of that Halloween candy.
• Cut up candy bars into smaller pieces to use, add nuts, or add themed M&M candies.
• To speed up the setting up of the candy, you can refrigerate it until firm and then allow it to come to room temperature before cutting or breaking it into pieces.
• Use a knife or a pizza cutter for clean slices.
• You can double or triple it if you want to serve it at a party or share it with friends and family.

Making candy using almond bark or candy melting wafers is an easy way to make a last minute treat for an event or to give as gifts.

Directions to Make Halloween Candy Bark

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until smooth and fully melted. Pour the melted white candy onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer using a spatula. Aim for about 1/4 inch thickness.

In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the orange, purple, green, and black candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until smooth and fully melted. Fill piping bags or a ziplock bag, with the corner with each melted chocolate color.

Pipe each color onto the white candy layer in a swirl pattern, as shown in the photos.

Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the colors together, creating a marbled effect. Immediately sprinkle the candy corns, broken pretzels, and Halloween-themed sprinkles over the swirled candy. Press the toppings gently into the candy to ensure they stick.

Allow the bark to set at room temperature for about 1-2 hours, or place it in the refrigerator for quicker setting (about 30 minutes). Once fully set, break the bark into pieces using your hands or a knife.

Halloween Candy Bark is the ultimate party treat. It’s easy to make, fun to customize, and perfect for sharing (or not!).
