Ingredients
Ingredients
- 20-24 ounces white chocolate candy coating or almond bark
- 16 sandwich cookies
- 1-2 cups pretzels
- 1 cup candy corn
- Candy eyeballs
- Halloween sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Roughly chop the sandwich cookies into bite-sized pieces and spread them evenly on a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Sprinkle the pretzels over the cookies, ensuring the pieces touch but leave some gaps for the chocolate to flow around.
- Melt the chocolate coating: Melt the white chocolate candy coating following the package instructions until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the bark: Pour the melted white chocolate evenly over the cookies and pretzels. Gently tap the baking sheet several times to help the chocolate fill in the spaces between the mix-ins.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle the candy corn, candy eyeballs, and Halloween sprinkles over the melted white chocolate to decorate and add extra flavor and texture.
- Chill the bark: Place the assembled bark in the refrigerator and chill for at least two hours until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
- Serve and store: Remove the bark from the fridge, then break or cut it into approximately 16 pieces. Store the pieces covered in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.

- For a dairy-free version, select dairy-free white chocolate candy coating.
- Ensure the white chocolate is not overheated during melting to avoid burning or seizing.
- Store bark in an airtight container to maintain crispness and freshness.
- This candy bark can be customized with other Halloween-themed candies or nuts as desired.
