How to Make the Perfect Halloween Chocolate Bark
Making Halloween chocolate bark couldn't be simpler. It all starts with melting chocolate—yes, you heard right. This Halloween treat is as easy as 'melt, mix, decorate.'
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to a low temperature. This will help the chocolate melt gently without burning.
2. Prepare the Chocolate Base:
Unwrap the chocolate bars and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Arrange the white and milk chocolate bars randomly on the tray.
3. Melt the Chocolate:
Place the tray in the oven for about 5 minutes or until the chocolate has softened but not fully melted.
4. Swirl the Chocolate:
Using a toothpick or knife tip, gently swirl the white and milk chocolate together to create a marbled effect. It doesn't have to be perfect—each swirl just adds to the charm!
5. Add Your Decorations:
Now comes the fun part! Decorate with Halloween treats like skulls, bones, sprinkles, and anything else you love. There's no wrong way to do this—go wild with the toppings!
6. Let it Harden:
Allow the bark to set at room temperature. Once it's firm, break it into pieces for serving.
Decorating Tips for a Spooky Twist
Looking to add an extra bit of fright to your bark? Here are a few decoration ideas that'll make your chocolate bark scream Halloween:

Black Licorice Spider Legs: Add pieces of black liquorice to look like spider legs poking out of the bark.
