Head to your favorite bulk food/candy store and get ready to make a delicious treat your kids can help out with.

Delicious and easy to make – this Halloween Bark is the perfect snack, party food or school treat. 

Halloween Bark

Ingredients:

1/2 bag Wilton White Candy Melts
1/2 bag Wilton Orange Candy Melts
Halloween Smarties
Pretzel Sticks
3 Chocolate cookies (Fudgee-Os)
Candy Corn

Directions:

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (or a Silpat).
Place bag of Wilton candy melts in a microwave-safe dish (I used a Pyrex measuring cup) and heat on 50% power for 1.5 mins, stir, then microwave at 50% power for 1 min or until fully melted and smooth upon stirring.
Pour melted chocolate onto a cookie sheet and spread out with an offset spatula until evenly distributed.  (Note: your bark can be as thick or thin as you would like just depends on how thin you spread the chocolate).
Sprinkle candy toppings in layers.  Start with pretzel sticks, then add candy corn, smarties and finally chocolate cookies.
Once all toppings have been added press down with your flat hand to ensure the pieces are stuck in the chocolate.
Place in the fridge for 30 minutes or until set.
Take out, break into pieces and serve immediately, or place in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

Halloween Bark is perfect for leftover candy or for a sweet treat at a Halloween party. Make a nut-free version for school lunches and parties. Your ghosts and goblins will love it!
