Halloween Bark Recipe
Description
The Halloween Bark starts with a single layer of graham crackers arranged on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Melted butter-coated marshmallows are spread over the crackers, creating a sticky, gooey layer that adheres well. Then a coating of melted semi-sweet chocolate is poured and smoothed over the marshmallows. While still soft, a variety of Halloween candies are pressed into the chocolate, adding texture, color, and additional sweetness.
This bark combines the crunch of graham crackers with the softness of marshmallow and the richness of chocolate, resulting in a multi-textured treat. No baking is required, making it an easy seasonal dessert to make at home. It can be cut into varied pieces and shared at parties or given as gifts.
To avoid sticky handling, non-stick spray on utensils and hands is recommended when working with marshmallow. The bark can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to one week or refrigerated if warm. It can also be frozen for up to three months, though appearance may slightly change. Variations with other seasonal candies or holidays can be made by swapping the toppings.
Ingredients
- 12 large graham crackers
- 40 large marshmallows (or 300 grams mini marshmallows)
- ¼ cup butter melted, unsalted
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate broken into small squares, Baker's brand
- Candy variety of Halloween
Instructions
- First line a 9.5″x 13″ baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place Graham crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a large microwave safe bowl add the marshmallows then pour the melted butter on top. Stir to coat the marshmallows in the butter. Microwave at 30 second increments until the marshmallows are completely melted.
- Pour the melted marshmallows over the graham crackers. Get it as close to the edges as possible.
- In another microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate in the microwave. Stir every 30 seconds, or until the chocolate is smooth and melted
- Pour the melted chocolate over the marshmallow then with a spatula spread it around evenly.
- Press the Halloween candy into the chocolate while it is still soft.
Notes
- Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerate if it's warm to prevent chocolate melting.
- Use non-stick cooking spray on spatulas and hands when handling melted marshmallows to prevent sticking and breaking the cracker base.
- Try different candies or holiday themes with the same basic graham cracker and marshmallow base for variety.
- The bark can be frozen up to three months; freeze cut pieces in an airtight bag though appearance may alter slightly.
- To melt chocolate smoothly, stir every 30 seconds in the microwave and add a small amount of oil if using chips for better spreading.
