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 looovvveee those mini twizzlers. I love Halloween, just makes me want to be a kid again. At least I get to go now with my two little monsters.
I love the cheesy Halloween movies – they are so much fun to watch. And candy corn has to be my favorite candy – other than that, it's Peanut M&M's.
I tweeted! :D

Great recipe! My favorite Halloween candy has to be candy apples, although I guess they are as much a fruit as they are candy :)
I love the chocolate candy corn! This was a great find when I first seen it in the store. Of course I love frosted cookies too. Especially spooky halloween ones!
ahh! my favorite for sure is mini twix bars. they are delicious frozen and just the right size! ( mailckim@gmail.com )
My favorite halloween candy is the special halloween Reeses. The peanut butter to chocolate ratio is just a little higher in those and i love it!
My favorite candy for Halloween or anytime of year is Snickers.
I love candy corn. It's definitely my favorite Halloween candy. Thanks for the giveaway.
