Chocolate Bark Recipe
Chocolate bark is a classic treat that is incredibly easy to make and lots of fun to decorate. This Salted Caramel & Pretzel Chocolate Bark is a personal favorite of mine!
For Halloween we added some cute ghosts to the bark along with candy corns, sprinkles and candy eyeballs to make it a fun and cute recipe the kids will love helping with.
What do I need to make chocolate bark?
This easy Halloween Bark only requires 5 simple ingredients. Collect the following ingredients and supplies to get started.
Dark chocolate chips
White chocolate chips
Candy eyeballs
Sprinkles
Candy corns
Candy dye (optional)
Sheet pan
How to make chocolate bark
To get started line your sheet pan with parchment paper. Dump the melted dark chocolate onto the parchment paper and using an icing spatula, spread the chocolate into a 1/4 inch thick layer.
You can make all of the Halloween bark in one base color, or use a few different ones on the same sheet pan. If you really want to make it fun and colorful, you can add some small dollops of different colored chocolate on the base color. Swirl the colors around with a butter knife or toothpick for a swirly design.
How to make chocolate ghosts
Add 1/2 cup melted chocolate to a quality plastic bag and cut a small piece of the corner out. Be sure to use a quality bag or a cheap bag may melt.
Use the bag of chocolate to pipe out designs over the chocolate such as spider webs and ghosts.
Alternately, to make ghosts you can add a medium dollop of white chocolate. Using a butter knife pull one side of the circle down into a ghost shape. Quickly add two sprinkles or candy eyeballs to the ghost.
To the remaining bark, add any sprinkles, candy, or decorations while the chocolate is still wet. It is important to work quickly as the chocolate will start to harden immediately.
If you mess up and don’t work quick enough and your chocolate has melted before you are able to add all of your decorations, pop the pan in a warm oven for just a couple minutes. This will melt the top of hte bark just enough to adhere any sprinkles and candy to the Halloween Bark.
What should I add to Halloween bark?
While candy corns are the obvious choice for Halloween bark, there are lots of great options you can add to the chocolate for tasty and colorful additions.
These are a few of my favorite chocolate bark additions
Pretzels
Reese’s pieces
M&Ms
Oreos (crushed
Kit Kats
Marshmallows
How to break Halloween bark
After you have decorated your bark, let it set in the refrigerator or freezer.
When the chocolate bark is completely set, use a sharp knife to roughly cut 2 to 3 inch size pieces. A knife works better than your hands because your warm fingers can melt the designs and you have less control over the size of the pieces.
How to store chocolate bark
If you won’t be enjoying your chocolate bark the same day, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
If you are wanting to gift the Halloween bark, add a few pieces to small cellophane bags and tie with a ribbon.
This Halloween Ghost Bark is a thoughtful gift any neighbor or coworker would appreciate for the holiday!

Notes
To make designs, transfer 1/4 cup of melted white chocolate to a qualityplastic bag or piping bag. Cut the very corner tip of the bag off and use the chocolate topipe the ghost or spider web designs. If your chocolate or candy wafers start to separate or clump, add 1 tablespoonof coconut oil or shortening. Microwave for 30 seconds and then whisk itvigorously. If your chocolate bark hardens too quickly to decorate it all with sprinkles and candy, pop it in a warm oven for a couple minutes just until the top is softened.
