Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 pieces
Ingredients
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup candy corn
- 1/2 cup pretzels, crushed
- 1/4 cup Halloween sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring the surface is completely covered and smooth.
- Create a double boiler by placing a heat-safe glass bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Add dark chocolate chips to the glass bowl and stir gently with a silicone spatula until completely melted and smooth, avoiding any water contact.
- Remove melted chocolate from heat and quickly pour onto the prepared parchment paper, spreading evenly with an offset spatula to create a thin, uniform layer approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- While chocolate is still warm, immediately sprinkle crushed pretzels across the surface, creating a random, uneven pattern.
- Distribute candy corn pieces strategically across the chocolate, ensuring even coverage.
- Generously scatter Halloween sprinkles over the entire surface, allowing them to stick to the melted chocolate.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for approximately 15-20 minutes until chocolate is completely set and firm.
- Once hardened, break or cut the bark into irregular, jagged pieces to enhance the spooky Halloween aesthetic.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool place or refrigerate for up to one week.
