Instructions for Halloween Chocolate Bark

1. Prepare the Baking Dish:

   • Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper, making sure the paper extends over the sides for easy removal later.

2. Melt the Chocolate:

   • Place each type of candy melt or chocolate (Merckens chocolate, Wilton Candy Melts, or Sweet Tooth Fairy Melts) into separate microwave-safe bowls. (Avoid using glass bowls; silicone or plastic is recommended).
   • Microwave each bowl for 30 seconds at 50% power, then stir. Continue heating in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate and candy melts are fully melted.
   • You’ll need (select the color you want in your bark):
     • 12 ounces of milk chocolate
     • 1/3 cup orange candy melts or chocolate
     • 1/3 cup green candy melts or chocolate
     • 1/3 cup purple candy melts or chocolate

3. Create the Base Layer or pour into color sections if not creating a swirl on top:

   • Pour the melted milk chocolate into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly, about 1/4 inch thick.

4. Add the Swirls:

   • Randomly dollop the melted orange, green, and purple candy melts on top of the milk chocolate. Use a butter knife or toothpick to drag through the dollops, creating a swirl pattern.

5. Decorate the Bark:

   • While the chocolate is still wet, top it with:
     • 1/3 cup Ghoul Mix, sprinkles, or M&M’s, or Yum Crumbs
     • 3 tablespoons candy eyes, or gummy worms
     • 2 tablespoons Halloween sprinkles

6. Set the Bark:

   • Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate is completely set.

7. Break and Serve:

   • Once firm, remove the bark from the dish using the parchment paper and break it into serving-sized pieces.
   • Serve and enjoy your spooky Halloween bark!
