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 love love Indian Corn – like candy corn but the bottom is chocolate!
I like all the candy at halloween time or any other time. But today I went to my daughters school to help with PTA and in the teachers lounge they had some of your bark and when noone was there I snagged me a little corner piece of it. I have never said I like this more than another thing I like candy. When I tasted this bark I loved it and come home and told my husband that was my favorite candy and I’m makin this on pay day. This bark is the best thanks for the recipe.
My favorite Halloween candy would have to be the banana flavored Tootsie Roll.
Yummmmy!
Thanks for the bark recipe!
My favorite is Ginger Snap cookies. I know it's not a candy, but I always used to get these from my neighbor on Halloween.
I love candy corn! But my favorite treat to get when trick-or-treating as a kid was reeses pieces!
It's lame: candy corn. But who can resist the sugar pills that only come out once a year???! Definitely not I! :)
