How to Make Halloween Bark
Halloween chocolate bark is super easy to make, simply melt chocolate and coconut oil together, use an angled spatula to easily spread on a lined baking sheet, and top with your favorite Halloween toppings! I’ve done a tasty salty ‘n sweet combo of crunchy pretzels, sweet candy corn, and super cute googly eyes.
Issues with Melting the Chocolate?
- Try adding in coconut oil. It creates a smoother, move even melt.
- Stir in between heating increments in the microwave, spreading the melted bits and coconut oil around.
- Or, try adding in a little peanut butter—a few teaspoons will do. It’s a great alternative for helping to melt the chocolate smoothly.
Tools You Need
- Googly eyes – an essential ingredient in making Halloween chocolate bark extra spooky.
- Gummy eyeballs – a little creepy, a lot yummy… 👀
- Angled spatula – for an easier time spreading the chocolate!
