An ad for Halloween bark recipe showing shards of chocolate bark decorated with candy, eyeballs, and sprinkles.

Halloween Candy Bark is an adorable dessert treat to make with sprinkles, chocolates, candy corn, and black licorice.

Grab things from the store you and your kids adore or have on hand. Decorate your Halloween chocolate bark with lots of sweets, colorful sprinkles, and spooky eyes...👀🎃

Halloween bark made from chocolate, candy, and sprinkles with candy eyeballs for a treat.

Halloween Bark Ingredients

  1. 4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  2. 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
  3. candy eyeballs
  4. black licorice - cut into pieces
  5. Reese's peanut butter cups (cut into bite size pieces, mini Reeses cut in half, or small peanut butter cups cut in half)
  6. Kit Kat Bars
  7. Halloween sprinkles
  8. candy corn
  1. Prepare all the toppings for your bark. Cut the licorice and chocolate candy ahead of time, as you need to work pretty quickly before the chocolate sets up.
  2. Set a heat proof safe bowl over a small saucepan of hot simmering water or use a double boiler. Make sure the water is not boiling. Add the chocolate chips and vegetable oil, they will slowly melt. Be sure to not let water splash into your chocolate or it might seize up. Keep the pan simmering but not to a fast boil.
  3. Stir until the chocolate is glossy, and add a little more vegetable oil to make it smooth.
  4. Set up a large baking sheet pan fitted with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Pour the melted chocolate and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Now it's time to decorate, add your eyeballs, chocolates, and sprinkles. Try different layers of chocolate like white chocolate, dark chocolate, or bittersweet chocolate. You can mix those or add Halloween colors to the white chocolate, try orange, purple or green!
  5. Set the sheet pan in the refrigerator to firm up. Then cut with a large Chef knife into shards. Store in an airtight container or on a paper plate in the fridge covered by a zip-top bag.

PRO TIP: Chocolate bark is great to snack on alone, but even better chopped into pieces with vanilla ice cream!!!

More Candy Bark Decorations and Toppings

You can also do different layers of melted white chocolate, dark chocolate swirled, or color the white chocolate orange, purple or green!

  • Brach's candy pumpkins (cut in half)
  • Reese's pieces
  • mini marshmallows
  • M&Ms (orange, yellow, purple, and green)
  • mini candy bars
  • pretzels
  • peanuts
  • crushed Oreos
  • gummy worms
  • salty potato chips
  • assorted chopped nuts

Chocolate Bark Decorating Tips

  • Plan out your toppings ahead, so they work together in your chocolate bark.
  • Cut the larger pieces of candy into smaller pieces.
  • Use things you have! I had this candy corn, licorice, and sprinkles on hand. And use up extra bits in some spooky Halloween cookies
  • Design your bark with a color theme! 🎃👀🍫 I went with orange, yellow and brown. You could do a purple and green one, or red and black?
  • I recommend the instructions to melt the chocolate on the stove, it's really easy, and not use the microwave. It's so hard to get it all melted at the correct temperature and in enough quantity to pour all at once for candy bark.
  • The spooky sugar eyes really make it look fun, you can order them online in different sizes.
  • Be careful to not splash water into your melting chocolate it can make it seize. Take a peek at my video in the recipe card, the water is simmering at 176 degrees (not 212 boiling) and it takes just a little longer to melt.
How do you store chocolate bark?


Cut the bark into large shards carefully with a large knife. Place the chocolate candy bark pieces in an airtight container or 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 candy bark can get melty at room temperature.
