How To Make Halloween Bark

STEP ONE – Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

STEP TWO – In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until smooth and fully melted.

STEP THREE – Pour the melted white candy onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer using a spatula. Aim for about 1/4 inch thickness.

STEP FOUR – In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the orange, purple, green, and black candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until smooth and fully melted.

STEP FIVE – Drop spoonfuls of each color of melted candy melts onto the white candy layer. Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the colors together, creating a marbled effect.

STEP SIX – Immediately sprinkle the candy corns, broken pretzels, and Halloween-themed sprinkles over the swirled candy. Press the toppings gently into the candy to ensure they stick.

STEP SEVEN – Allow the bark to set at room temperature for about 1-2 hours, or place it in the refrigerator for quicker setting (about 30 minutes).
