    WHAT’S SO GOOD ABOUT THIS RECIPE?

    The magic of this Halloween Bark Candy Recipe Make in 60 Minutes is its perfect blend of sweetness and texture. The combination of black and white candy melts produces a harmonious taste that'll satiate any sweet tooth. The added candy corn and googly candy eyes not only give it that eerie Halloween vibe but also add a delightful crunch, making it one of those sweet treats you won't be able to resist.

    IS THIS RECIPE BUDGET-FRIENDLY?

    Mary's Two Cents: This Halloween candy bark recipe falls into the frugal category on ohthatsgood.com It's affordable, yet doesn’t compromise on taste or presentation. It could be thought of as frighteningly frugal. 🙂

    INGREDIENTS

    See recipe card.

    INGREDIENT NOTES

    • White Candy Melts: These provide a creamy base for our bark. When melted, they create a velvety texture that pairs wonderfully with the other ingredients.
    • Black Candy Melts: Offering a contrasting hue to the white, these melts bring a dark richness to our bark, making it visually appealing.
    • Candy Corn: A Halloween staple, adding a sweet, tri-colored punch to our bark.

    SUBSTITUTIONS

    • If you don't have black candy melts, dark chocolate or chocolate almond bark can be a worthy replacement, though it might slightly alter the taste.

    VARIATIONS

    • For a nutty twist, sprinkle some crushed Reese’s peanut butter cups or Reese’s pieces over the melted chocolate before it sets.
    • If you're aiming for a more vibrant color, substitute white candy melts with orange candy melts.

    EQUIPMENT

    Ensure you have a good-quality parchment paper to lay your bark on. This makes the removal process a breeze. A simple offset spatula or the back of a spoon will help you spread the candy melt in an even layer. To break the bark once it's set, a sharp knife will come in handy.

    STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

    STEP 1: Heat the candy melts as directed on the back of the bag. I heat mine on low mode for 1:30 and repeat this three times, then stir well. Place parchment paper on a small baking sheet. Pour out half of the white candy melts and spread with the back of a spoon.

    PRO COOKING TIPS

    • Always chop or break your ingredients like graham crackers into small pieces before you begin. It'll save you time and ensure you get even distribution.
    • To avoid burning the candy melts, always melt them in second increments in your microwave. Check frequently!

    FAQ’s

    Can I store this bark for later use?

    Yes! Once the bark has fully set, break it apart and store it in an airtight container at room temperature.

    What other types of candy can I add?

    This Halloween candy bark recipe is versatile. Leftover Halloween candy, milk chocolate, or even white chocolate bark pieces, or white chocolate chips can be sprinkled on. This time of year there are many other types of Halloween sprinkles to choose from.

    What's a festive treat I can make using leftover candy from Halloween?

    Try Halloween chocolate bark! It's a delightful way to use up those sweets. Just melt your favorite type of chocolate, spread it out, and sprinkle the leftover candy on top. It's as simple as that!

    I've seen candy eyeballs in the store. Can I use them in your Halloween recipes?

    Absolutely! Candy eyeballs can make any treat spooktacular. They're a fun addition to our Halloween chocolate bark, giving it an extra creepy-cute touch.

    What type of chocolate do you recommend for Halloween chocolate bark?

    For our recipes, any type of chocolate will do, but I personally love using a mix of dark and milk chocolate. It gives the bark a rich, balanced flavor. But go with whatever melts your heart.
