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.

I love Halloween and all the crazy movies! My favorite Halloween candy would be candy corn…only time of year that I really eat it!
my fave is Almond Joy – syrupy sweet, soft coconut topped with a crunchy almond or two, enveloped in thin milk chocolate. Hello!
I do love the little bite size chocolate bars and if I buy them early, there are none left to give to trick or treaters!
No international resident :(
I LOVE, LOVE, candy corn
My favorite candy bar is snickers. Of course, I am not too picky. Anything with chocolate is good.
By the way, that candy bark looks fabulous. I just found your blog last week and have already bookmarked several recipes to try. I made the cinnamon roll cake last week and it was awesome.
dark chocolate peanut M&Ms with the lovely halloween colors
as strange as it sounds…dots. something about those gum drops, especially the green ones. mmmm. i could eat them forever!
Its a tie between mounds bars or reeses peanut butter cups.
I wait for my favorite Halloween candy all year long! Mellowcreme Pumpkins and Candy Corn…I love mixing these two sweet treats with dry roasted peanuts. The sweet and the salty is a perfect combination
