Equipment
- Sharp knife or pizza cutter
- small microwable bowls
Ingredients
- 12 ounces white candy melts
- ¼ cup orange candy melts
- ¼ cup purple candy melts
- ¼ cup green candy melts
- ¼ cup black candy melts
- ½ cup candy corn
- ½ cup mini pretzels, some broken into pieces
- Halloween-themed sprinkles
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- 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 if you do, use a double boiler to melt the chips. Nobody really owns a double boiler, so just use these instructions for how to make a double boiler with a pot and a bowl. It’s fool-proof.
- 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 the setting up of the candy, you can refrigerate until firm and then allow it to come to room temp 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.
