I like to think of this Halloween Bark as adult Halloween candy. Probably because I’ve brought it to family Halloween parties the last few years and more of it gets eaten by adults than kids (maybe that’s because we keep it out of reach of the kids?). Plus at Halloween you’d never give kids candy that’s not wrapped, right?
Use your imagination here – any of your favorite candy will work. If you’re using large pieces or bars, cut them into smaller pieces. Freezing the candy for about 10 minutes ensures that it doesn’t melt when it meets the melted chocolate. Speaking of chocolate, I use a mix of dark chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate but feel free to use whatever you prefer. Be creative – I’m sure whatever you come up with will be delicious and well received (should you decide to share).
