Wondering what to do with all of your leftover Halloween Candy? Turn it into Easy Leftover Halloween Candy Bark! It’s a fun and easy treat both kids and adults will love!
Ingredients for Easy Leftover Halloween Candy Bark
Aside from your favorite Halloween Candy you will need a couple of other ingredients to make this bark:
- Chocolate chips– we used Ghiradelli white chocolate chips. Milk, dark or white chocolate chips can be used, whichever is your favorite!
- Pretzels- a little salt to balance out the sweetness! Plus the crunch of the pretzels makes it even better.
- Halloween sprinkles- these are optional but they make it look extra festive especially if you are making this for a Halloween party!
- Leftover Halloween Candy- pick your favorites! We used snickers, kit kat, candy corn and twix.
How to Make Candy Bark
This recipe is very simple to make. First, gather all of your ingredients and chop up the Halloween candy you plan to use. Then, line a pan with parchment paper. Then, melt your chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Do this in 15-30 second increments and stir well in between. Warm the chocolate slowly to avoid burning it. Spread chocolate onto the lined pan in a smooth even layer.
Next, top the chocolate with the pretzels, chopped candy and sprinkles (if using). Once all of your toppings are on the chocolate refrigerate to set. This should take no more than 20 minutes.
Once chocolate is set, remove from the refrigerator. Bark can be sliced or broken into pieces before serving. If slicing the bark, warm the knife under hot water and dry before cutting. This will make it easy to slice through the chocolate and prevents breakage. Then, enjoy your candy bark!
