Servings: 24 servings
Ingredients
- 16 oz CandiQuik Candy Coating – Dark Chocolate Chocolate flavor or Milk Chocolate flavor
- 8 oz CandiQuik Vanilla Candy Coating about half a package
- Assorted Halloween candy such as Candy Corn, M&M’s, candy eyeballs, and Wicked Witch candy decorations (found at Target)
- Halloween sprinkles of choice
Instructions
- Line a rimmed baking sheet (I used two 11 x 15 pans) with parchment paper so the paper extends over the edges for easy removal later. Adjust the ingredient amounts for a larger or smaller sheet as needed.
- Melt the candy coating according to package directions; I used the microwave.
- Pour the melted dark chocolate coating onto the parchment paper and spread it evenly using an offset spatula until about ¼ inch thick.
- Spoon dollops of melted white candy coating over the dark chocolate and swirl gently with the tip of a knife, or bamboo skewer to create a marbled effect.
- While the candy coating is warm, sprinkle your candy toppings, candy eyeballs, and Halloween sprinkles evenly across the top.
- Allow the bark to cool and harden for about 30 minutes. Once set, lift the bark out of the pan using the parchment edges and transfer it to a cutting board. Cut into desired serving size pieces.
- Store Boo Bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
- When ready to gift or serve, wrap individual pieces in cellophane bags, pack them in mini treat pails, or fill a decorative tin for easy gifting.
Notes
- If you can’t find CandiQuik, look for almond bark or store-brand candy coating in the baking aisle near the chocolate chips. Substitute candy melts or chocolate chips for CandiQuik if desired. If using chocolate chips, bark will be soften and have a tendency to melt, so keep refrigerated.
- For a little crunch, try pouring your melted candy coating over a layer of graham crackers before adding toppings.
- Optional bark toppings: Pretzels, Oreo cookie pieces, Reese’s Pieces, chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, candy of choice.
