Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate bars, coarsely chopped
- 8 ounces white chocolate bars, coarsely chopped
Decorations
- Festive Halloween candy such as eyeball sprinkles, Halloween sprinkles, and Halloween M&Ms
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside to ensure the chocolate won’t stick.
- Melt Semi-Sweet Chocolate: Place the chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Melt it using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each until completely smooth.
- Melt White Chocolate: Repeat the same melting process with the white chocolate in a separate bowl until smooth and fully melted.
- Arrange Chocolate: Pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly into a large rectangle approximately 8 by 12 inches.
- Swirl White Chocolate: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the semi-sweet layer. Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the two chocolates together, creating a marbled effect.
- Decorate: Sprinkle your choice of Halloween candies, such as eyeball sprinkles, Halloween M&Ms, and themed sprinkles, evenly over the top of the swirled chocolate.
- Set Chocolate: Allow the bark to set at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator uncovered for about 45 minutes until completely hardened.
- Break Into Pieces: Once fully set, break the chocolate bark into pieces of desired size for serving or gifting.
- Storage: Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool, dry place for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- For longer storage, freeze the bark for up to 2 months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
- Do not use chocolate chips or morsels as they contain stabilizers that prevent proper melting; use pure chocolate bars instead for the best texture and flavor.
- I recommend brands like Ghirardelli, Baker’s, Lindt, or Trader Joe’s 4-ounce bars found in the baking aisle.
- Use any Halloween-themed sprinkles or candies you enjoy, such as candy corn, Wilton sprinkles, or specialty M&Ms for a personalized touch.
- Melting in a double boiler helps avoid burning the chocolate, but microwaving in short increments works well if stirred frequently.
