Ingredients for Halloween Candy Bark

The ingredients are easy to find in a craft store or online on Amazon; I have links above for you to use.

Ingredients

Semisweet Chocolate – Choose your favorite brand. My choice is always 50% cacao or more.

White Chocolate – Any type would work! 

Orange and Purple Food Coloring – It is best to use fat-soluble food coloring in this recipe, but any gel or powder would work.

Halloween-themed candy – I found these edible sugar tombstones and witch hats, but add in any ones you love the most.

Mini Oreo Cookies – They look pretty and add a crunchy bite to the chocolate, which I love.

Halloween Sprinkles – The ones you have on hand will work just fine. The color pops out of the chocolate.

Edible Sugar Eyes – They’re another playful touch; replace them with any fun Halloween treats.

How to make Halloween Candy Bark

Chopping chocolate on a wooden board.
Chopping white chocolate in even pieces.

Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

Chop both chocolates separately. Then, place them in a microwave-safe bowl, such as ceramic or glass. Microwave on medium-high heat for 30-40 seconds, and stir it. Repeat until the chocolate is fully melted. Be careful not to overheat it, or it could burn and become grainy. This is called seizing.

Divide the melted white chocolate into three small bowls, add some of the powdered food coloring to two of them, leaving one white, and mix. Add extra food coloring as needed to achieve the desired color.

Pour melted semi-sweet chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and extend it to the sides. Then, while the chocolate is still melted, add teaspoons of purple, orange, and white chocolate around it. Using a toothpick or the tip of a knife, extend the colored and white chocolate around, making a swirl in your chocolate bark.

Finally, arrange your toppings over the chocolate while it is still wet so they stick. Let the chocolate harden to room temperature and refrigerate it for 20 minutes or until set.

FAQs and tips on making Halloween Candy Bark

Can I make Halloween Bark ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare this Halloween bark recipe a few days in advance. Just store it in a cool, dry place.

Can I use other candies in this recipe?

Absolutely! Use any Halloween candy you have on hand, like KitKats, Twix, or Snickers.

How do I melt chocolate without a microwave?

Then, place chopped chocolate in a metallic bowl over boiling water and let the chocolate melt until smooth; make sure there’s no water mixing with the chocolate. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is evenly melted.
