Ingredients
Chocolate Base
- 12 oz (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 6 oz (170 g) white chocolate chips
Toppings
- ½ cup candy corn
- ¼ cup candy eyeballs
- ¼ cup Halloween sprinkles
- ¼ cup mini pretzels or M&M’s (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bark once it sets.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and fully melted. Pour and spread the melted chocolate into an even layer over the prepared baking sheet.
- Melt White Chocolate: Using the same method, melt the white chocolate chips. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer and use a toothpick or skewer to swirl it gently, creating a marbled effect.
- Add Toppings: While the chocolate is still warm, quickly sprinkle the candy corn, candy eyeballs, Halloween sprinkles, and optional mini pretzels or M&M’s evenly over the surface. Press the toppings lightly to help them adhere.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
- Break: Once set, remove the bark from the fridge and break it into irregular pieces. Serve immediately or store appropriately.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for a smoother melt and richer flavor.
- Work quickly to add toppings while the chocolate is still warm for best adhesion.
- Avoid spreading the chocolate too thickly to ensure the bark breaks easily.
- Store the bark in a cool place to prevent melting and maintain texture.
