Melted Witch Halloween Bark Recipe

I must have watched that scene a hundred times; it was just that satisfying. I had wanted that witch dead so badly and when she actually melted, it was epic! And that was the inspiration for this sweet and savory Melted Witch Halloween Bark Recipe. This recipe is popular during Halloween season, great for a Halloween party, and such an easy Halloween dessert that everyone will love!

In the movies, they made ridding the world of evil look so easy. And when I grew up I was sorely disappointed that it wasn't quite as simple as throwing water in evil's general direction and watching it melt away. But eventually, I came to realize that perhaps the universe rids the world of evil in other ways; ways we cannot necessarily understand or explain... 

🥘 Ingredients

This Halloween bark is a sweet savory combination of dark chocolate swirled into milk chocolate, green candy melts, chocolate-covered bugle cookie witch hats, candy eyeballs and chocolate almond pretzel witch brooms. This is a really easy-to-make and delicious chocolate bark that makes a fun and tasty Halloween treat! 

For this recipe, you'll need:

• chocolate candy melts (affiliate link)
• chocolate cookies * Oreo cookies, Girl Guide Cookies (any kind)

This Wizard of Oz is a classic and still one of my all-time favorite movies. And if you have never seen this movie, it's a must. Not only were the life lessons powerful, but the gratification I experienced watching evil melt into a puddle was like nothing else I had ever experienced in my short 8 years on this earth. And there's been nothing like it since. You can watch the melting witch scene from "The Wizard of Oz" by clicking on the blue button!

In fact, I love this melted witch theme so much that I also created this Melting Witch Halloween Punch (non-alcoholic)!

🔪 Instructions

This Chocolate bark is a fun and easy treat to make and kids can even help! And the best part is that it's the edible version of evil melting away.... And it's easier to make than the individual melting witch puddles.

1. Melt the milk chocolate candy melts on ½ power in 30-second intervals. Keep checking, removing, and stirring.  Dip each bugle in the melted chocolate candy melts and gently shake off excess.
2. Immediately place bugles onto cookies and allow them to harden.
3. Once hardened, make a snake out of fondant and fit around the rim of each cookie hat, trimming to fit.
4. Reheat the remaining milk chocolate candy melts if necessary. Dip one end of each pretzel stick into milk chocolate and lay it on parchment paper. Add 4 almond slivers to each pretzel. Then spoon a little chocolate over the top of the almond sliver and let harden. Once hardened, trim the edges of the brooms.
5. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Melt melting chocolate (or milk chocolate chips) at 50% (½ power) in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until melted (alternatively, you could use the double boiler method). Pour onto the prepared pan (lined with parchment paper). Melt semi-sweet chocolate in the microwave the same as above. Drop by spoonfuls onto melted milk chocolate then swirl with a knife to get the desired effect.
6. Melt green candy melts in microwave same as chocolate, then drop by spoonfuls (to make puddles) Take a knife and only swirl at some of the edges to get the desired effect.  Place cookie witch hats evenly (you can make more and add more if you like). Then place the brooms evenly throughout (you can also make additional brooms). Add the eyeball candies evenly throughout. Bang the bottom of the cookie sheet down on the counter 3-4 times to remove air bubbles. Set aside and allow to harden for 1-2 hours. Cut and serve.

🍽Equipment

You'll need baking sheets or you can use one large baking sheet, if you're doubling this Halloween candy bark recipe. You will also need a sharp knife (I use a paring knife).

👪 Serving Size

This melted witch bark can be broken into about 18 good-sized pieces, but you can break it into small pieces if you wish. However, you can half, double, or triple the recipe by clicking on the blue serving number and selecting the number of servings you'd like. The ingredient quantities will automatically adjust. You will just need additional baking sheets.

🌡️Storing

How to Store Halloween Bark

You can store this Halloween bark recipe at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, once the chocolate is set completely and broken into pieces. It's best to store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, such as your pantry (ideally less than 70ºF).  I prefer to keep it in the freezer (it will keep there for up to 2 months), if I'm hanging onto it any longer than a few days, although it usually doesn't last that long!

Karma

I try really hard to not wish ill will upon anyone - that's bad karma in and of itself. Instead, I just wish that they get exactly what they deserve. And that's not up to me to decide. I'm generally pretty confident that karma will come through.

In my humble experience, karma (like water) has done a pretty darn good job of melting witches and ridding the world of evil, even if it's just a little bit at a time. 

So, if you're looking for a fun treat that's perfect for the spooky season, you'll love this chocolate bark! Eating melting witches is just as gratifying as watching a witch melt, so dig in, get into the Halloween spirit, and enjoy this delicious Melted Witch Halloween Bark!
