Ingredients

12 oz dark chocolate, chopped into small pieces

12 oz white chocolate, chopped into small pieces

1 cup candy corn

1 cup mini marshmallows

1/2 cup crushed Oreos (or any chocolate cookie)

1/2 cup Halloween-themed sprinkles

1/4 cup salted pumpkin seeds (or candy-coated pumpkin seeds)

Optional: edible glitter for decoration

Instructions

Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet (approximately 11x17 inches) with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This ensures your candy bark can be easily removed once set.

Melt the Dark Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and has a smooth consistency. Be vigilant to avoid overheating.

Spread the Dark Chocolate: Carefully pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the sheet, creating a thin layer. Once done, place it in the refrigerator to set while you melt the white chocolate.

Melt the White Chocolate: In another microwave-safe bowl, repeat the melting process with the white chocolate until completely smooth.

Layer the White Chocolate: After the dark chocolate has firmed up (about 15-20 minutes), pour the smooth melted white chocolate over the top. Gently use the spatula to spread it evenly across the dark layer.

Add Candy Toppings: While the white chocolate is still melty, evenly distribute the candy corn, mini marshmallows, crushed Oreos, Halloween-themed sprinkles, and salted pumpkin seeds across the surface. Lightly press down on the toppings to help them adhere to the chocolate.

Chill to Set: Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator and allow the candy bark to chill for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set and is firm to the touch.

Break Into Pieces: Once set, take the baking sheet out of the fridge. With your hands, break the candy bark into irregular, colorful pieces for a charming, rustic appearance.

Optional Glitz: For a magical touch, sprinkle a dash of edible glitter over the bark before serving to give it a spooky sparkle!

Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the candy bark on a festive platter and share this delightful treat with friends and family during your Halloween celebrations!
