Description
All you need for todays chocolate bark recipe is good chocolate for the base along with your favourite Halloween candies to decorate on top! This delicious Halloween Chocolate Bark chocolate bark recipe can be made vegan and is definitely kid friendly.
Ingredients
Scale
- 500 grams semi-sweet baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 200g Swiss White chocolate, coarsely chopped
The rest is up to you to get creative! I used:
- Kit kat (1 kingsize or 2 regular bars)
- Peanut butter cups (1 regular bar)
- Monster candy eyes, 1 package
- M&Ms, 1 small package or ⅓ cup
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside
- Break chocolate into pieces and place in a microwave safe bowl
- Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring to make sure the chocolate doesn’t burn
- Remove when mostly melted, if there are a few unmelted chunks that is ok, the residual heat will continue to melt it and this is much better than burning the chocolate!
- Pour semi-sweet chocolate onto the pan. Spread out with a spatula or back of a spoon in a layer about ¼ inch thick. Drizzle the white chocolate overtop and use a toothpick to swirl the layers together
- Decorate the bark with your candies and place in the fridge (30-45 mins) or freezer (15 mins) to set.
- Store in an airtight container up to 1 week, in the fridge up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Make it Vegan: Check the label to make sure the chocolate and candy you are using is vegan. Look out for words such as dairy, gelatin, shellac, carmine, eggs
- Monster Candy Eyes: I found the monster candy eyes at our local Save On Foods, I have also seen them at the dollar store and on Amazon
- Other add ins: I meant to try with rice krispies and totally forgot but this would be delish! Candy corn, colored sprinkles and Reese’s Pieces would also be super festive!
- How to Gift it: Add a few pieces of chocolate bark to a cellophane bag or seasonal box lined. Tie with an orange ribbon. Optional, decorate with Halloween stickers. This would be fun to do with kids!
