Halloween Bark is an adorable dessert treat to make with Halloween candy, sprinkles, cute candy eyeballs, licorice, and chocolates.
Grab things you have and use them up. I had some leftover candy corn and black licorice and they look so cute next to the colorful sprinkles and those eyeballs 👀🎃 ...

Halloween Bark Ingredients
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- vegetable oil
Decorations and Toppings
- black licorice - cut into pieces
- small Reeses - cut in half
- Kit Kat bars
- eyeballs
- sprinkles
- candy corn
- mini marshmallows
- M&Ms
- mini candy bars
- pretzels
- peanuts
- crushed Oreos
- gummy worms
- salty potato chips
- assorted chopped nuts
Top Decorating Tips
- Plan out your toppings ahead, so they work together in your chocolate bark.
- Cut the larger pieces in smaller pieces.
- Use things you have! I had this candy corn, licorice, and sprinkles on hand.
- Design your bark with a color theme! 🎃👀🍫
- The spooky sugar eyes really make it look fun, you can order them online. They come in different sizes.
- Be careful to not splash water into your melting chocolate (it can make it seize), take a peek at my video, the water is simmering at 176 degrees (not 212 boiling) and it takes just a little longer to melt.
Storing
Cut the bark into large shards carefully with a large knife. I found putting the pieces on a paper plate covered with a large zip lock bag in the fridge worked best until ready to eat. Otherwise, on hotter days the chocolate can get melty...

- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- candy eyeballs
- black licorice

Instructions
- Prepare all the toppings for your bark. Cut the licorice or chocolate ahead of time, as you need to work pretty quickly.
