The only thing more haunting than Halloween night festivities is the amount of candy that will sit on your counter for the following week. If the bags of goodies just get to be too much, consolidate your treats into this quick and simple Halloween bark. It only needs a microwave and a few spare minutes, and it’s tasty to “BOO”t.
1 bag (12 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 bag (12 oz.) white chocolate chips
1/4 cup mini marshmallows
1/4 cup pretzels, broken
1/4 cup candy corn
1 Snickers bar, chopped
Sprinkles (optional)
Orange food coloring (optional)
1) Line a 9″x9” baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
2) In a medium-sized microwavable bowl, melt semi-sweet chocolate chips for 30 seconds. Stir and continue microwaving in 30-second increments until chocolate is smooth.
3) Spoon the melted chocolate into a prepared pan and spread evenly until it’s about 1/8-inches thick. Chocolate does not have to cover entire pan. Place in refrigerator until hard, about 20 minutes.
4) Repeat step two with the white chocolate chips. If desired, stir in orange food color when chocolate is smooth. Once melted, pour over hardened semi-sweet chocolate and spread evenly. While the white chocolate is still wet, immediately sprinkle on the marshmallows, Snickers pieces, pretzels, candy corn and sprinkles.
5) Allow white chocolate to harden fully, break into large pieces and enjoy! Store bark in a tin or wrapped in foil.
