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 mixed with peanuts! Or really anything chocolate!
Can’t wait to try this bark! My most favorite candy, year round, is Reeses peanut butter cups! I totally agree with another comment: the holiday Reeses always seem better!
My favorite is m&m’s, candy corn and roasted peanuts. Can’t get enough of them. But they are only good with super fresh, soft candy corn.
I love candy corn and peanuts…looks so good in a candy jar together and taste like a PayDay=)
My dad’s birthday is Halloween, so growing up it was always a double hit day. As I got to be an adult and a mom it just stayed my favorite holiday…all the fun of being a kid allowed to stay out late and get candy, with none of the pomp and circumstance (not to mention dishes) of Thanksgiving and Christmas. I to am not interested in the freaky, scary side…but the cute, fun side is right up my alley. My favorite candy is actually candies, the cute little mini candy bars, so yummy, like their grown up originals, but so cute and small that you can almost convince yourself that it’s ok to eat just a few more.
What is your favorite Halloween Candy ? (Excellent idea btw I love it!)
