Chocolate bark is primarily made of chocolate chips or chocolate wafers that are topped with a mixture of candy, nuts or sprinkles. It’s most commonly made by melting the chocolate in the microwave and lasts up to three months in the pantry.
It is called “bark” because once broken into pieces, it often has a craggy surface that resembles tree bark. This Halloween chocolate bark is seriously fun and makes a great addition to any festive party or gathering!
My boys love any kind of treats that have added eyeballs so this Halloween bark was especially great for them to make! Be sure to check out our Monster Cupcakes or Monster Cookie Pops to see what I’m talking about.

Ingredients:
- 12 oz Meltable orange chocolate candy melts
- 1 oz Meltable black chocolate candy melts
- 30+ candy eyeballs in various sized
- 2 Tbsp orange and black sprinkle mixture
Directions:
1. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave safe container. Melt in intervals of 15 to 30 seconds, checking and stirring each time so that the chocolate doesn’t burn.
2. Scoop the black chocolate into a freezer bag or piping bag to easily drizzle with.
3. Spread the melted orange chocolate out onto a sheet of parchment paper. The chocolate slab should be about 1/4″ thick.
4. Cut the tip of the black chocolate bag off and pipe black circles onto the orange chocolate. Use a toothpick to drag lines from the center, creating a spider web design.
5. Add sprinkles to the melted chocolate.
6. Finally, press candy eyes into the chocolate before it cools. Be sure to press the candy down firmly so that it really sticks.
7. Place the chocolate in the fridge and allow the chocolate to harden completely before breaking into “bark” sized pieces.
Tips for making chocolate bark:
- Use candy melts for best results, the wafer chocolate melts the best. Add one teaspoon of coconut oil to other chocolate to help it melt and pour better.
- Pour chocolate onto a parchment lined baking sheet for easy moving and transporting before the chocolate has hardened.
- Place the chocolate in the fridge or freezer to completely cool before breaking into pieces.
- Be sure to use a sharp knife or dry hands when breaking the bark otherwise the colour from the candy tends to rub off if there is any moisture present.
- Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three months. It can also be stored in the fridge to prevent the bark from melting.
How fun is this?! It’s seriously one of our favorite halloween candies and a great recipe for the kids to make.
