Halloween Monster Bark
Over the years I have made candy bark for several different holidays and occasions. It’s so easy to make and because of the variety of colors, it’s such a versatile treat. So for the ultimate candy holiday of Halloween, I wanted to make another batch for the kids to give to their friends. I used Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Pretzels and Fudge Brownie Graham Fish crackers along with candy corn, mini marshmallows, and sprinkles. If you use large pretzels and/or cookies be sure to break them up into small pieces because the large chunks make it hard to break up the bark into nice size pieces. For this recipe, I also added an additional color of candy melts on top for a gooey “monster” effect, this is what my daughter called it because she said the green looked gross like a monster. But the added green sure didn’t stop her from eating it!
Ingredients:
- 1 bag orange candy melts
- 1 c candy corn
- 1 c pretzels
- 1 c mini marshmallows
- 1 c chocolate cookies, broken up
- sprinkles
- 1/2 c green candy melts
- wax paper
Directions:
Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Melt the orange candy melts according to the package directions. I like to use a double boiler when I make the entire bag at once, it’s easier and they melt better.
Once the candies are melted pour onto your prepared cookie sheet and smooth with a spatula.
Next, sprinkle pretzels, candies and cookie bits on top and lightly press them into into the candy melt mixture. Place the cookie sheet in the freezer to cool.
Once the bark has cooled, melt the green candy melts according to the package then drizzle over the bark. Place back into the freeze once cooled.
Now all you need to do is break up the bark into pieces!
You can make a few batches of this bark and add the pieces to clear plastic bags to give as gifts to friends or neighbors. If you’re going to use them for Halloween treat bags at school be sure to hand them out at the end of the day if it’s still hot where you live. You don’t want them sitting in the kids’ backpacks all day because they will melt!
