Melting Witches Bark (Printable)

Swirled chocolate bark with colorful melts, candy eyes, and sprinkles for spooky Halloween fun

# What You’ll Need:

→ Chocolate Base

01 - 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
02 - 1 cup white chocolate chips

→ Decorations

03 - 1/2 cup assorted colorful candy melts
04 - 1/2 cup mini candy-coated chocolates
05 - 1/4 cup candy eyes
06 - 1/4 cup Halloween sprinkles

# Directions:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - Place semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until completely smooth and fully melted.
03 - Pour the melted semisweet chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread evenly using an offset spatula to form a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick.
04 - In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the white chocolate chips and colorful candy melts. Microwave each in 20-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until smooth and fully melted.
05 - Drop spoonfuls of the melted white chocolate and colorful candy melts randomly over the dark chocolate base. Insert a toothpick or skewer into the chocolate and drag it through the colors in swirling motions to create a marbled effect.
06 - Immediately sprinkle the candy-coated chocolates, candy eyes, and Halloween sprinkles over the warm chocolate surface, pressing gently to ensure they adhere.
07 - Allow the bark to cool completely at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes, or refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes until firm to the touch.
08 - Once fully set, break the bark into irregular shards by hand. Arrange on a serving platter or store in an airtight container.
