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.

candy corn and chocolate!! Yumm!!
My favorite is definitely Reese's Peanut Butter cups. I love them especially at Halloween and Easter.

When I'm really in the Halloween spirit, I especially enjoy gross out candies like gummy body parts or gummy brains. The taste may not be the best, but it just feels so right!
Favorite Halloween candy is candy corn. I only allow myself to buy it in the month of October because I am really addicted to mixing it with roasted peanuts. Tastes a lot like a Payday candy bar! I'm so proud of myself for not purchasing any yet this month since I'm trying to lose a few pounds. :-)
What is your favorite type of Halloween candy? My favorite is Halloween Popcorn Balls and Mini Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. MMMM!
Super cute blog. So glad I found you.
I love snickers minis for Halloween. I'm always sneaking them.
Great recipe, thanks for sharing!
I tweeted about this wonderful giveaway!!
I love the little mini Heath bars! Mmmm…
Your bark looks pretty tasty too!
Any fun size candy with chocolate! I'd always trade my Smarties and bubble gum for chocolate!

What a fun giveaway! I would have to say growing up I loved peanut m&m's, but these days I love the dark chocolates.
