Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate bars (two 4-ounce bars), coarsely chopped
- 8 ounces white chocolate bars (two 4-ounce bars), coarsely chopped
Toppings
- Festive Halloween candy such as eyeball sprinkles, Halloween sprinkles, and Halloween M&Ms
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside for easy chocolate removal and cleanup.
- Melt Semi-Sweet Chocolate: Melt the coarsely chopped semi-sweet chocolate using a double boiler or microwave. If microwaving, heat in 20 second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each until smooth and fully melted.
- Melt White Chocolate: Repeat the melting process for the white chocolate using the same method.
- Assemble Bark: Pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into a roughly 8×12 inch rectangle. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top, then use a knife or toothpick to swirl the two chocolates together creating a marbled effect.
- Add Decorations: Decorate the chocolate surface with your choice of Halloween-themed candy such as eyeball sprinkles, Halloween sprinkles, or Halloween M&Ms for a spooky, festive look.
- Set Chocolate: Allow the bark to set uncovered at room temperature or refrigerate for about 45 minutes until completely hardened.
- Serve and Store: Once hardened, break the bark into desired sized pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Freezing Instructions: Freeze the bark for up to 2 months in an airtight container and thaw overnight in the refrigerator for longer storage.
- Use pure chocolate bars, not chocolate chips, as they melt more smoothly and offer better flavor. Good brands include Ghirardelli, Baker’s, Lindt, or Trader Joe’s baking bars.
- Feel free to customize your toppings with any Halloween sprinkles or candies you prefer; candy corn is a great addition.
- Use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper on your baking sheet to prevent sticking and ease of removal.
