Spooky Bark
Halloween Bark Recipe and other Last-Minute Halloween Ideas! If you are anything like me, your day (life) whizzes by at entirely too fast of a pace. Decisions are made in an instant, although you’d rather ponder over them for days, and events come and go in a hot flash.
Sometimes these decisions change on a dime… a few times.
You are, are not, are, are not, are, are NOT, Are, ARE NOT, ARRRRRRE having a Halloween Party this year!
Good for you. When this sort of decision is made at the last-minute, QUICK and EASY are our two favorite words. And let’s throw in “cute” for good measure.
Candy Bark is one of my favorite go-to treats for any holiday because it takes only moments to make and disappears faster than a flying banshee.
This particular Bark Recipe is a festive way to celebrate the witching hour… or a resourceful method of using up your Halloween loot!
Simply melt and pour the chocolate onto wax paper, then drop your favorite Halloween candies, and candy bar pieces over the top. Allow it to dry and break into pieces. See? Quick and easy, perfect for you last-minute party animals!

Halloween Bark Recipe
Ingredients:
2 - 11 oz. bags milk chocolate chips
1 - 11 oz. bag white chocolate chips
3 large (or 12 mini) candy bars, roughly chopped
1 cup candy corns
1 cup "spooky" candy (eyeballs, bones, bugs...)
Directions:
Line a cookie sheet with wax paper.
Pour the milk chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 60 seconds, then stir. Continue heating in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth.
Pour the chocolate onto the prepared cookie sheet and smooth to the edges.
Repeat with the white chocolate. Then pour it on top of the milk chocolate. Swirl with a spatula.
Sprinkle the chopped candy bar over the chocolate. Then sprinkle the candy corns and the "spooky" candy on top.
Place in the fridge for 20 minutes--until hard. Then break into pieces and store in an air-tight container. *Don't keep this is the fridge because chilling the chocolate too long causes it to get cloudy.

I love the shot with the skeleton laying on the table! Maybe he ate too much candy
Love this idea – makes me wish for little kids again. We always had a Halloween theme birthday party for my son (birthday 10/21) but he just turned 25 so I don’t think he wants a dress up party anymore. Makes me sad

Good thing I could just shove handfuls of this bark in my face to forget it!

I think this is the best and most creative Halloween spread I’ve ever seen. I’m working from home today, and I think I can squeeze in some time to make the Halloween Bark. Thanks for sharing your site via Stumble Upon. Keep the great posts coming! I’m a new fan.

This bark would make a kid out of anyone – such fun and so clever. The centerpiece ideas are similarly grand – they just celebrate Halloween and autumn.
