Halloween Monster Bark
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1 10 oz. bag of chocolate chips (milk or dark)
- ¾ cup of green candy melts
- ½ cup of colorful chocolate candies
- ¼ cup of sprinkles
- ¼ cup of candy eyes
Instructions
- Grease a sheet pan. (I use cooking spray)
- Pour melted (see melting methods in notes) chocolate chips over the sheet pan and use a spatula to smooth out and form an even layer about ¼ inch thick.
- Spoon 4 small clumps of the melted candy melts in the four corners of the chocolate layer.
- Use a toothpick to swirl the green candy melts around.
- Place your colorful candies and candy eyes around the chocolate in any pattern you prefer. Then top with your sprinkles.
- Place your sheet pan in the freezer for 1 hour. Remove the bark from freezer. Then you can either karate chop it or use your hands to break apart. Your choice :)
- Store in the refrigerator until ready to eat. Enjoy!
Notes
There are a couple methods to melt chocolate (or your candy melts):
Microwave - In a microwave safe container, microwave using your defrost setting. Melt for 30, then stop and stir. Then continue to microwave for 30 second intervals until smooth and completely melted.
Double Boiler - Fill lower pan with water to below level of top pan. Bring water to a gentle simmer. Place your chocolate in the top pan and stir occasionally until smooth and melted. (If you don't have a double-boiler, you can makeshift one by placing a heat-safe bowl on top of a pot)
I find candy melts easy to manage using the microwave method. But for the chocolate chips, I enjoy using the double-boiler method.
For this recipe you can use any color of candy melts you want (green, orange, white, red...). You just want a color that pops against the chocolate.
