Halloween Candy Bark is a quick and easy chocolate bark recipe and a fun and festive way to make the most of any leftover Halloween candy.

Halloween Candy Bark

I love this Halloween time of year with everything covered in black and orange and random objects shrieking at you as you walk down the shopping aisles of your favorite stores. Spooky treats, pumpkin desserts and unapologetic candy buying! Life is good!

What better way to put some of that extra candy to good use than throw it all together and make Halloween Candy Bark? I mean, this is so easy, all you need is a microwave and a sweet tooth and you have the necessary ingredients to make the most festive chocolate bark of the season.

Grab up the little goblins because they will love to help you with this easy chocolate bark recipe and besides, Halloween doesn’t always need to gross and terrifying to bring the holiday spirit out in people. You better believe a sheet pan of candy sure will though 🙂

To make this Halloween Candy Bark, you will need:

  • Graham crackers – these are the foundation of your candy bark and bring a pleasant crisp to each bite.
  • Chocolate chips – choose a good quality chocolate as the better the quality, the better the taste.
  • Pretzels – these are a great way to add a bit of salt to cut through the sweetness.
  • Assorted candies – grab your favorite Halloween candy and go to town!
  • Edible candy eyeballs – make this Halloween candy bark even more festive with assorted sizes of fun eyeballs.
  • Halloween colored sprinkles – optional but totally suggested!

HOW TO MAKE HALLOWEEN CANDY BARK

Start by lining a 9×13 baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out your graham crackers so that they are all touching.

Next, melt your chocolate chips in a double boiler over medium low heat.

Stir your chocolate until it is smooth and has melted completely.

Pour your chocolate over your graham crackers and spread it out in an even layer using a spatula or the back of spoon.

Decorate your candy bark by sprinkling the edible eyes, candies and pretzels on top of your chocolate then move your baking sheet in the refrigerator to chill for 30 to 45 minutes or until the chocolate has fully hardened.

Remove your Halloween bark from the refrigerator and cut the bark into irregularly shaped pieces. Serve immediately, package in small party gift bags or store in an air-tight container.

PRO TIPS FOR PERFECT CANDY BARK

  • I choose to use semi-sweet chocolate chips for this chocolate bark but you could use bittersweet, dark chocolate or white chocolate chips instead.
  • I grabbed my favorite candies to make this Halloween bark recipe but you can use any candy you like.  Try to grab candies that are colorful and have different flavors and textures.
  • This time of year it’s easy to find seasonal candy sprinkles and Halloween novelty items like edible bones and candy corn.  Have fun!
  • I have made this chocolate bark with pretzels, chopped pistachio nuts and peanuts.  The little bit of salt helps cut through all of the sweetness.
  • My kitchen nemesis is trying to melt chocolate in the microwave.  If you are a rockstar and it melts beautifully for you.. go for it.  If you are a mere mortal like myself, grab a medium sized baking pot, fill it with 2 inches of water, add a heat proof mixing bowl on top of your pot and melt your chocolate over medium-low heat. I’ve learned to accept my limitations 🙂
  • This is a fun treat for kids Halloween parties.  Make a batch up ahead of time and then package the pieces up in small party bags tied up with Halloween ribbons and spooky little toys.
