Method
- Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate. This can be done using a double boiler or in the microwave. For microwave melting, place the chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.
- Melt the white chocolate using the same method described in step 2.
- Pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into a large rectangle, approximately 8x12 inches. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top. Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the two chocolates together. Immediately sprinkle the top with your chosen Halloween candies.
- Let the chocolate bark set completely at room temperature, uncovered, or in the refrigerator. This will take about 45 minutes. Once hardened, break the bark into pieces of your desired size.
- Store the finished bark in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool, dry place for up to one week, or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
💡 Tips
- Ensure your chocolate is pure and not chocolate chips, as chips contain stabilizers that can prevent smooth melting.
- Work quickly once the chocolates are melted to achieve good swirls before they set.
