This Halloween Bark is soooo yummy. It's the easiest thing to make and only takes a few minutes. It looks great, but the taste makes it. Great to package up and give to friends and family.
Ingredients:
1 package
white Almond Bark (Find this in any grocery store by the baking chocolates.)
1/2 package
orange candy melts (You can find this in any craft store.)
4 to 8 cups
seasonal candies and treats—such as:
Oreos, broken into fourths Pretzels
Candy corn Saltine
crackers, broken in half
Mini marshmallows Kiss
candies
Reese’s Pieces Graham
crackers, broken in half
M&Ms
Peanut butter cups, chopped Peanuts
Use whatever
sounds good. I like a good mix of sweet and salty.
Directions:
Put all
candies and treats in a large bowl.
Melt the
Almond Bark in the microwave for 1 minute.
Stir, then melt for additional 20 seconds at a time, until the Almond
Bark is melted and smooth. Stir after
each 20 seconds. (Or melt it in a double boiler.)
Pour the
melted Almond Bark over the candies and stir well. Don’t stir too vigorously. You don’t want to break up the candies too
much.
Spread
mixture onto a foil lined cookie sheet. Place it in the fridge to cool for a few minutes--about 10 minutes.
Place the
candy melts in a quart size Ziploc bag.
Melt in 20 second intervals in the microwave, kneading after each 20 seconds,
until the candy is melted and smooth with NO lumps.
Use scissors and snip off one corner of the
bag. Squeeze the bag to drizzle the
candy melt over the mixture on the cookie sheet.
You can sprinkle on some cake decorating
candies, coconut, or chocolate chips if you want. Sprinkles look great!
Place the cookie
sheet in the refrigerator or freezer for 15 to 30 minutes to set up. Make sure it is hardened before you try to break it. Break into pieces and store in a covered
container. You can break it with your hands, rolling pin, or even a clean hammer.
(I like lots
of goodies in mine. I usually use about
8 cups of treats.)
Go make some now and share with your friends and family. They'll love it.
