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 absolutely love the pumpkin shaped candy-corn. I don't know why but they seem so much better than the traditional candycorn!

kitkat for sure! good idea on the candy corn bark! hope i win!
Milky Way candy bars!
I eat Candy Corn every day starting in October until I reach my max and can't eat anymore until next October :)
Candy corn was my favorite as a little kid – I ate way too much of it. These days, I can't handle the sweetness as much, but I still like a handful every now and then.
By the way – I totally do haunted houses with my eyes closed holding on to the person in front of me too!
I'm a sucker for anything chocolate, but I'd have to say my favorite is Milky Way… plus I don't feel SO guilty!
My favorite is Reese's pieces which reminds me that I need to buy some. :)
My favorite candy is Almond Joy!
Well.. it used to be those Brach's pumpkins (similar to the candy corns) but for some reason I have gotten really into Peeps. Terrible, I know! What a great give-a-way!
