Halloween Candy Bark

This Halloween Candy Bark is an easy and fun treat. Plus, you don't need any fancy dessert decorating skills! 

This post was created for #HalloweenTreatsWeek. I received some swag from our sponsor company. As always, all opinions are my own. 

Making candy bark is a fun way to get creative without too much pressure to be perfect. Just grab whatever treats you have on hand and scatter them across some melted chocolate or almond bark and gently press it in. 

If you're like me, you probably have chips, nuts, or candies that are leftover from a recipe where you didn't use the whole bag. There's not enough left for another recipe, but too much to throw away. It's definitely the perfect scenario to make candy bark. 

To counteract all of the sweetness, you can also add something salty. I added some pretzels, but you could add peanuts or cashews for the same effect. 

This bark has a graham cracker base, a tip I first saw on Pioneer Woman. The cookies add a nice crunch, and make it so much easier to break up the bark. Plus, you don't need to use a huge amount of chocolate. 

Ingredients I used to decorate this candy bark: 

• Stick pretzels, broken in half

• Reese's Pieces

• Mini Oreo cookies, cut in half

• Candy eyeballs, which I adore

• Butterscotch chips

• Funfetti vanilla cake-flavored chips (a total impulse buy)

Other ideas for decorating this Halloween candy bark include colored sprinkles M&Ms, candy corn, chopped Oreos with colored filling, chopped nuts, and other chopped Halloween candy. 

You can also adapt this bark to other holidays, such as Valentine's Day, Easter, or Christmas. 

To melt the chocolate, I used the Wilton Melting Pot because it's pretty foolproof. You can also use the double boiler method, with a Pyrex bowl over a pot of simmering water.
