Candy bark is a fun and easy way to create a festive snack with just a few ingredients. It’s super customizable and kid-friendly, so if you’re looking for a simple treat that you can make along with little ones, we’ve got a recipe sure to satisfy time and time again!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of milk or white chocolate candy melts
  • Food coloring if using white chocolate (orange, purple, or green for Halloween)
  • Add-ins of choice, we suggest:
    • Halloween-themed sprinkles, orange M&Ms or Reese’s Pieces, crushed pretzels, crushed Oreo cookies

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside
  • Place the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds at a time on high, stirring between each round to prevent chocolate from burning
  • If using white chocolate, add 2-3 drops of food coloring and stir until incorporated
  • Pour melted chocolate onto the baking sheet and spread with a rubber spatula into one even layer
  • Evenly sprinkle toppings of choice. This is where children (or adults!) can really have fun and get creative
  • Place bark in the refrigerator for about 45 minutes or until hardened
  • Once hardened, remove from refrigerator and transfer bark to a cutting board
  • Chop into bite-sized pieces
  • Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy!
