If you like fall for its pumpkin spice lattes then you are going to love this pumpkin spice caramel bark! The rich caramel flavour combined with pumpkin spice and white chocolate is to die for.

Chocolate bark is primarily made of chocolate chips or chocolate wafers that are topped with a mixture of candy, nuts or sprinkles. It’s most commonly made by melting the chocolate in the microwave and lasts up to three months in the pantry.


It is called “bark” because once broken into pieces, it often has a craggy surface that resembles tree bark.

Not only is this treat super yummy, it’s also fun to make. Let me show you!


How to make pumpkin spice bark:

Ingredients:


  • 12 oz Meltable pumpkin spice candy melts
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup soft caramels
  • 1 Tbsp milk or cream


I found the pumpkin spice candy melts at Michaels, where there are all sorts of fun chocolate flavours to experiment with.

Directions:

1. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 15 to 30 second intervals, checking and stirring each time so that the chocolate doesn’t burn.

2. Melt the soft caramels in a microwave safe container. Melt for 15 seconds, add milk, stir and continue to microwave in intervals until smooth.

3. Spread the melted pumpkin spice chocolate out onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. The chocolate slab should be about 1/4″ thick.

4. Drizzle the white chocolate and the caramel overtop of the pumpkin spice chocolate.

5. Use a toothpick to create swirls in the chocolate mixture, dragging it through the chocolate perpendicular to the drizzled toppings.

6. Place the chocolate in the fridge and allow the chocolate to harden completely before breaking into small pieces.

It’s important to give this caramel bark extra time to harden as the caramel layer takes longer to set than the chocolate. Tip: place it in the freezer for a quicker set time.

Tips for making chocolate bark:

  • Use candy melts for best results, the wafer chocolate melts the best. Add one teaspoon of coconut oil to other chocolate to help it melt and pour better.
  • Pour chocolate onto a parchment lined baking sheet for easy moving and transporting before the chocolate has hardened.
  • Place the chocolate in the fridge or freezer to completely cool before breaking into pieces.
  • Be sure to use a sharp knife or dry hands when breaking the bark otherwise the colour from the candy tends to rub off if there is any moisture present.
  • Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three months. It can also be stored in the fridge to prevent the bark from melting.

Some of my kitchen essentials:

  • I love using this non-stick bakeware for all of my baking.
  • These silicone mitts are perfect for grasping hot pans and baking dishes.
  • This Henckel Knife is my favorite for slicing and dicing in the kitchen.
  • These parchment paper bags are perfect for packaging and these large Rubbermaid food storage containers are great for storing baking in the freezer.

Doesn’t this caramel bark just look amazing?! It would make a lovely random act of kindness or neighbour gift for pumpkin spice latte loving friends!

Or pair it with these mini pumpkin pies and pumpkin cheesecake at your next fall gathering or event.
