Halloween Bark!

Really simply and easy to make Halloween Chocolate Bark – Perfect Idea for a home-made trick-or-treat Idea, or even just for the family!
Halloween 2015 is quickly approaching so I thought it was important that I start posting my delicious recipes for this years celebrations! (Even though this is my first Halloween on the blog!)
I posted my recipe for my Chocolate Bark early in July and it was a massive hit – even though its so simple! However, this didn’t stop me wanting to jazz up the recipe a bit for Halloween – and with the rise of coloured sweets & chocolates this seemed ideal! A mix of White Chocolate, Orange Candy Melts, and oodles of sweets = heaven!
Chocolate Bark is one of those little treats that is super fun to make with children or your friends, and makes a super cute idea for presents if you want to make something home-made that everyone will love! My boyfriend absolutely adores it when I make Chocolate Bark as its so simple, but so so yummy! I always make him his own personal ones with his favourite sweets!
Another idea you could do for Halloween is to use my Easter Fudge recipe, just use the same Halloweeny Sweets, or even try to dye the fudge a different colour! SO many Halloween Treats its endless! Enjoy!
This makes a 9x13Inch Tray – 20 shards approx.
Ingredients
– 350g White Chocolate
– 340g Orange Candy Melts/Orange Coloured Chocolate
– 50g Dark Chocolate
– 200g Spooky Peanut M&Ms
– Halloween Sweets – I used Halloween Faces!
– Cadburys Fingers
– Halloween Sprinkles
Method
1) Line a 9x13Inch Tray with parchment paper – leave to the side.
2) Prep what sweets/Chocolate’s are going on your Bark – I crushed some of my M&Ms & Finger Biscuits’s – be careful if using a knife to crush them though, don’t cut yourself!
3) Melt the White Chocolate, and the Candy Melts either in a Glass bowl over a pan of Boiling Water (Double Boiler), or in the Microwave on short bursts!
4) Pour the White Chocolate into the tray and spread evenly, drizzle the Orange Candy Melts over the top and using the end of a Cake Tester (or whatever you want) swirl together to make a Marble Pattern!
5) Sprinkle over your decorations and then Melt the Dark Chocolate – Drizzle over the top of everything and leave to set – sometimes this is easier in the fridge but it might discolour the sweets slightly!
6) Cut/Break into shards and enjoy!
Tips and Ideas
This lovely little treat will last for weeks if kept in the right conditions – Mine never lasts this long but I give it a 1 month date from making depending on what you use as Chocolate Use-by-dates are so long!
You can obviously use whatever sweets & chocolates that you fancy, especially anything Halloweeny, or the colours of Halloween are perfect!
Enjoy!!

Where did you get your Halloween sweets from?
Mixture of hobby craft and supermarkets around Halloween time.
What is the easiest way to break up the slab? I don’t want it to shatter in to tiny pieces and not sure how easy cutting it will be! X
You just have to go with it and cut it as best you can 🙂 part of the charm is it’ll break parts itself hence why its ‘bark’ so it’ll be fine!! X
[…] Jane always comes up with somethng tasty: bark is so easy to make yet looks so effective, whether just as a treat or to be wrapped as a gift. This Halloween version is no different! http://janespatisserie.com/2015/10/14/halloween-bark/comment-page-1/ […]
