Halloween… the time of year for all things spooky. I was never a fan of Halloween as a kid. Now don’t get me wrong. I love copious amounts of Trick-o-Treat candy, but all the ghouls, witches, and goblins truly freaked me out.
I was never one to be particularly entertained by the Freddy Krueger, Jason or Halloween movies. To be honest, I would “watch” them through the cracks of my fingers or from the edge of my pillow, but never to the point that I could follow the plot or retell the story.
I would walk through haunted houses in complete blindness latching myself onto the person in front of me as a guide. To this day, the scary aspects of Halloween do not appeal to me. I am as big of a scardy cat today as I was fifteen years ago. However, I do like the cute, fun, playful side of Halloween and definitely like creating treats based upon this time of the year.
So I thought I would throw together something fun and host a giveaway just in time for the 31st! My first Halloween themed sweet treat is Candy Corn Bark. This stuff is sinfully sweet, but so cute and easy – I could not resist giving a whirl! I hope you enjoy this recipe, and I hope it doesn’t hurt your teeth too much!
Candy Corn Bark
Ingredients:
10 Halloween-colored chocolate sandwich cookies, chopped (I used regular Oreos)
3/4 cup broken small pretzel sticks
12 ounce bag of white chocolate chips
1 cup candy corn
orange and brown sprinkles
Directions:
1. Line an 8×8 baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Spread the cookies and pretzels in the bottom of the pan.
3. Melt chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water, or in the microwave, stirring frequently until melted. Remove from the heat while there are still a few chunks, and stir until smooth. White chocolate burns easily.
4. Drizzle chocolate with a spoon over the goodies in the pan, spreading the top flat to coat evenly.
5. Top with candy corn and sprinkles. Let cool until firm. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

not how this works, but I’d sure like a chance to win!!!! looks pretty neat !!!
my faviort halloween candy is CANDY CORN, I like to mix it with peanuts, and red hots, but snack ever!!
I love getting fun size Twix!
That Bark looks amazing, I can’t wait to make it! Even though candy corn also comes out in Christmas and Valentine colors, nothing beats the white, yellow and orange ones. I buy lots of bags so I have them all year long. Good thing Halloween is coming, I only have two bags left from last year!
My favorite of all time is SugarBabies :). My only gripe is the Halloween bags just don’t hold enough of them :-P
My favorite Halloween candy is a Reesees. There is nothing better than peanut butter and chocolate!!
I combine candy corn & salted peanuts for the very best Halloween treat available in the modern world today!!!!
Love almond joy miniatures
Reese Cups are always a favorite! I’ve never been a fan of Halloween, I always hated the witches and evil that seemed to surround it, so I always had a Fall celebration with my kids. We enjoyed all the fall decorations and candy without the scary ghouls :)
