HOW TO MAKE HALLOWEEN BARK

Line your baking tray. Put parchment paper on your baking tray to avoid sticking.

Melt dark chocolate. Grab the dark chocolate and add it to a microwave-safe bowl. You can then place it in the microwave and heat it in 15-second intervals until melted. Stir each time to help it melt quickly.

Divide the chocolate. Pour white chocolate and candy melts into different bowls.

Melt the chocolates. Melt white chocolate and all the colored chocolate that you are using. Make sure to melt them all in clean and different bowls.

Add coloring/cocoa butter (if using). Add in a few drops or so of coloring/cocoa butter to melted bowls of chocolate and stir.

Spread out the chocolate. Spread out the melted dark chocolate on the bottom of your baking sheet and then pour melted white and colored chocolates right on top in dollops with a spoon. 

Swirl in the colors. Using a toothpick or a butter knife swirl the candy bark lightly.

Put in the fridge. Once everything is mixed and ready, place the pan in the fridge for two hours to harden. Remove, break the bark into pieces, and eat!

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO BREAK APART THE BARK?

You have options on how to break apart the chocolate bark once it's hardened. The first option would be to carefully drop or tap the baking pan on the counter. This may work to break that bark into pieces that you can then put into a bowl.

The second option is to use a small mallet or even a butter knife to just hit into the bark. It won't take a ton of force to break so be careful as you don't want bark flying out of the pan and onto the floor.

CAN YOU FREEZE CHOCOLATE BARK?

You can. Once it's set and ready, just add the pieces to a storage bag that is freezer-safe. It'll keep in the freezer until you're ready to pull out a piece and enjoy.

QUICK TIPS FOR MAKING HALLOWEEN BARK

• Don't overmix the dyed chocolate into the white chocolate mixture. You want the colors to stand out, so just giving them a little swirl is all you'll need to do.
• If one hour in refrigerator isn't enough to have the bark set enough, just be patient and give it a little more time.

Notes

Storing Information:

• Chocolate bark stays good in a cool place (at room temperature) for 2 weeks, in refrigerator for up to 4 weeks, in an airtight container.
• For longer storage, you may freeze your bark for 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before enjoying.

Cocoa Butter: You may mix a few tsps of cocoa butter in melted white chocolate to color it and then swirl in the bark instead of candy melts.

Gel Food Coloring: Even gel food colorings can be mixed into melted white chocolate. Just remember not to use water based colorings here or your chocolate will harden.

In case using either gel food colorings or cocoa butter: You will need about ¾ cup more white chocolate to blend all these three colors in.
