Halloween Candy Bark Recipe
Post by Giulia, photographer and blogger at Giulia Doyle
During Halloween we receive a lot of candy and while the rush of gathering it is fun and exciting, we might get to a point where we don’t quite know what to do with it anymore. A fun activity is to make a batch of candy bark. It’s easy to whip up, you can involve the kids, and I think it just looks really cute.
Because candy at this time of the year is often colorful, I like to work with a white chocolate base so the colors can really pop. For it to be most pleasing to the eye, I also find it helpful to keep a rough color palette. Here I chose only to use purple and orange Smarties to play off the orange in the candy corn.
You’ll need:
- 2 cups of white chocolate chopped, or white chocolate disks
- Selection of candy and sprinkles
- Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Pretzels
Directions:
- Melt chocolate in 30 seconds intervals in the microwave, stir after each interval until smooth and melted.
- Spread melted chocolate over a parchment lined cookie sheet with a spatula. I use a silicon baking sheet, which works really well. You can spread the chocolate quite thin like I’ve done, or thicker, as you please.
- Immediately sprinkle with large pretzel pieces and larger candy. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and finish off with small sprinkles.
- Let it harden in the fridge and break into pieces. Enjoy!
