This is a fun Halloween Candy Bark that you can make in minutes and use whatever candy, kind of chocolate, and decorations you like!
This Halloween Bark is such a fun and easy treat to make when you want something special for Halloween. It is so customizable, it can work for just about anyone or any occasion! If you are carving pumpkins you can do it differently then if you are having a spooky party.
Why You’ll Love Halloween Candy Bars
- Simple – It only takes a few ingredients, and what those are are really up to you! Melting chocolate is about as complicated as it gets! So it can also be a great activity for the kids to do.
- Fast – Melting chocolate sets up rather quickly, which is the longest part. Actually making it, takes about 5 minutes!
- Easy – this doesn’t require an oven or the stovetop, just a microwave safe bowl and a baking sheet. Super easy to make in just minutes.
- Customizable – use whatever kind of chocolate you like (milk, dark, white) add in colors, use whatever candy you like. So many ways to mix it up and make it fit your party.
What You’ll Need
Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post for the FULL PRINTABLE recipe card.
- Melting Chocolate
- Candy
- Candy Eyes
You can find candy eyes at most grocery stores or any craft store or Amazon. Wilton makes them, but so do store brands and other cake decorating brands.
How To Make Halloween Bark
- Add your chocolate to a microwave safe bowl and heat for 1 minute. Stir and continue microwaving in 20 second intervals until completely melted.
- Pour chocolate onto a lined baking sheet. Spread into a thin even layer.
- Arrange your candy over the top as desired. Let set up for about an hour until it is solid.
- Cut or break into smaller pieces.
Candy Bark Topping Ideas
As you can see I used themed sprinkles, Kit Kats, Reese’s Pieces, and candy eyes on my bark, but the options are truly endless. And you don’t have to use just candy!
- Chopped Nuts
- Candy Corn
- M&M’s
- Peanut Butter Cups
- Pretzels
- Snickers
- Crushed Oreo Cookies
What Kind Of Chocolate To Use
You really can use whatever your favorite is. I like to use the chocolate almond bark because it melts so fast, is super smooth, and sets up quickly. But really any chocolate you like eating that melts will work for this.
Use white chocolate and drizzle orange and green candy melts over the top for a fun twist. Use dark chocolate and add white chocolate swirls. You could even use white chocolate to make it look like ghosts. You can get as creative as you like!
Storing Halloween Candy Bark
Once the bark has set up and you have cut into pieces, store in an airtight container. It should last 1-2 weeks at room temperature.
