Description

This festive Halloween Candy Bark is a deliciously spooky treat combining rich bittersweet chocolate with an assortment of fun Halloween candies. Easy to make and perfect for parties or gifting, this recipe requires only a few simple steps and yields a delightful bark that is both visually appealing and satisfyingly sweet.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Base

  • 3 cups (525 g) Bittersweet Chocolate Chips

Toppings

  • 2 Kit Kats (two regular bars, 8 pieces), cut up
  • Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (10 minis or 4 full-size cups), cut up
  • ¼ cup Reese’s Pieces
  • Candy eyes
  • 2 Tablespoons Halloween sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a standard cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside. This prevents the chocolate from sticking and makes it easy to remove the bark once set.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Place the bittersweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Spread the Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly to about 1/4 inch thickness, creating a uniform base for the toppings.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the cut-up Kit Kats, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Reese’s Pieces, candy eyes, and Halloween sprinkles evenly over the melted chocolate while it’s still warm so they stick well.
  5. Chill and Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for about 45 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens and the candy toppings are firmly set.
  6. Break and Serve: Once set, break or cut the bark into irregular pieces. Serve immediately or store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Chocolate Variations: You can substitute bittersweet chocolate with semisweet, milk, or dark chocolate based on your preference.
  • Customize Toppings: Feel free to use any candies, nuts, pretzels, or mini marshmallows to create your own unique bark.
  • Storage Tips: Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Freezing: The bark can be frozen for up to one month. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap to avoid freezer burn.
