Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz white candy melts
  • 1/4 cup orange candy melts
  • 1/4 cup purple candy melts
  • 1/4 cup green candy melts
  • 1/4 cup black candy melts
  • 1/2 cup candy corns
  • 1/2 cup mini pretzels broken into pieces

Method
 

Prepare the Baking Sheet
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
Melt the White Candy Melts
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until completely smooth.
Spread the White Candy
  1. Pour the melted white candy onto your prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick.
Melt the Colored Candy Melts
  1. In separate bowls, melt the orange, purple, green, and black candy melts just like the white—30 seconds at a time, stirring until smooth.
Create the Swirls
  1. Drop spoonfuls of the colored candy melts randomly over the white layer. Then, use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the colors gently, creating a marbled effect that looks spooky and fun!
Add the Toppings
  1. While the candy is still melted, sprinkle on:
  2. Candy corn
  3. Broken mini pretzels
  4. Halloween sprinkles
  5. Gently press them into the surface so they stick as the bark cools.
Let It Set
  1. Allow the bark to set:
  2. At room temperature for 1–2 hours, or
  3. In the refrigerator for about 30 minutes for a quicker set.
Break and Serve
  1. Once hardened, break the bark into fun, jagged pieces us

Notes

Storage instructions: Store the Halloween candy bark in an airtight container at room temperature for 7 to 10 days.
