It features milk and dark chocolate with fun candy accents like fondant, pretzels, and candy eyeballs for a playful and delicious dessert.


Ingredients

Scale

Witch Hats

  • ½ 340 g package of milk chocolate candy melts
  • 12 chocolate cookies (such as Girl Guide or Oreos)
  • 12 bugles
  • yellow fondant

Witch Brooms

  • 4 oz semi sweet dark chocolate
  • 2 lbs milk chocolate melting chocolate (or milk chocolate chips)
  • 48 almond slivers (approximately)
  • 12 pretzel sticks

Chocolate Bark

  • ½ 340 g package of green candy melts
  • 18 white or small red candy eyeballs (approximately)


Instructions

  1. Melt Milk Chocolate for Witch Hats: Melt the milk chocolate candy melts on ½ power in 30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.
  2. Assemble Witch Hats: Dip each bugle into the melted chocolate, shake off excess gently, and immediately place one onto each chocolate cookie. Allow to harden completely.
  3. Add Fondant Decoration: Roll yellow fondant into snake shapes and fit around the rim of each cookie to resemble hatbands, trimming to fit perfectly.
  4. Prepare Witch Brooms – Melt Chocolate: Reheat remaining milk chocolate candy melts if needed.
  5. Assemble Brooms: Dip one end of each pretzel stick into melted chocolate and lay on parchment paper. Attach approximately 4 almond slivers at that end to resemble broom bristles. Spoon a bit of melted chocolate over the almond slivers to secure them, then let harden.
  6. Trim Broom Edges: Once hardened, carefully trim edges of almond slivers with a paring knife for a tidy broom shape.
  7. Prepare Chocolate Bark Base: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the milk chocolate (or milk chocolate chips) at 50% power in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  8. Create Bark Swirls: Pour melted milk chocolate onto the prepared pan. Melt semi sweet dark chocolate similarly and drop spoonfuls onto the milk chocolate. Swirl gently with a knife to create marbled effects.
  9. Add Green Candy Melt Puddles: Melt green candy melts in the microwave the same way. Drop spoonfuls onto the chocolate and partially swirl edges for a spooky look.
  10. Decorate Bark: Evenly place the prepared witch hats and brooms on top of the bark. Scatter candy eyeballs throughout to enhance the Halloween theme.
  11. Remove Air Bubbles and Set: Tap the bottom of the baking sheet on the counter 3-4 times to remove air bubbles. Set aside to harden for 1-2 hours at room temperature.
  12. Serve: Once fully hardened, cut into pieces and serve your festive Halloween bark.

Notes

  • Use a gentle hand when swirling chocolates to avoid mixing colors too much.
  • Fondant can be replaced with colored icing if preferred.
  • Make sure all dipped items are fully hardened before assembling final bark for best results.
  • This bark can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • Feel free to customize with additional Halloween-themed candies.
