No-Bake Halloween Bark
Halloween Bark is easy to scare up and a fun no-bake treat for all your ghouls and goblins!
Best of all, no cauldron required for this sweet treat, which is ready in 30 minutes, the time it takes for the candy coating to set.
In addition to your candy and sprinkles, you’ll need graham crackers and candy coating or almond bark. You can find almond bark on the baking aisle near the chocolate chips. Substitute white chocolate chips or candy melts for almond bark if you prefer. I like the CandiQuik brand for the convenience of the disposable, microwaveable tray, but any brand will work.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with wax or parchment paper so paper extends over the edges of the pan. Arrange the graham crackers so that they’re butted up against one another, piecing together as needed to fill the bottom of your pan. I used chocolate graham crackers but you can use regular graham crackers if you prefer. Melt almond bark according to package directions. Pour melted almond bark over the top of graham crackers, spreading it evenly over the surface.
More of a procedure than a recipe, you can adapt this sweet treat to your little ghouls and goblins’ taste, customizing the candy, sprinkles and ingredients. I used a combine of Halloween pretzels, candy corn, M&Ms and Halloween sprinkles.
When bark is set, use the edges of the paper to remove bark from sheet pan and transfer to cutting board. Use the tip of a knife to break/cut bark into 24 - 36 pieces.
