Quick And Easy Making of Halloween Bark Recipe
Step 1: Familiarize Yourself
Read through the recipe multiple times to acquaint yourself with any equipment, tools, ingredients, and methods you might need to use.
Step 2: Pre-Assembly
Assemble all your ingredients before starting. This helps prevent leaving anything out, ensuring a smoother and quicker procedure.
Step 3: Chocolate Choice
Opt for good quality chocolate. Milk chocolate is my preference, but dark or white chocolate works too. Chocolate candy melts are also a great option.
Step 4: Prepare Toppings
Have your toppings ready before melting the chocolate. Use a mix of candy corn, candy pumpkins, candy googly eyes, broken or small cookies, M&M’s, candy-coated chocolate buttons, broken pretzels, miniature cookies, etc. Stick to autumn and Halloween colors and themes.
Step 5: Chocolate Melting Tips
Avoid overcooking the chocolate in the microwave to prevent it from seizing. Melt it in small segments, stirring well between each. Alternatively, use a heatproof bowl over simmering water, ensuring it doesn’t touch the water.
Step 6: Prepare Baking Sheet
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Consider spraying it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 7: Spread Melted Chocolate
Now spread it thinly using a flexible spatula or the back of a metal spoon.
Step 8: Sprinkle Toppings
While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle candy and other toppings randomly over the top for good adhesion.
Step 9: Special Touch with Googly Eyes
For a special touch, use candy googly eyes, spacing them in pairs strategically. When breaking the candy apart, they’ll create an attractively spooky effect.
Step 10: Chill in Refrigerator, set before breaking it apart.
Chill it in the refrigerator for an hour until it is completely set before breaking it apart.
