Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s the lineup for your bark masterpiece:

• 16 oz white chocolate chips (or candy melts if you want those neon Halloween vibes)
• 16 oz dark or milk chocolate chips
• 10–12 Oreos, roughly chopped (bonus points if you leave some chunks for dramatic effect)
• Halloween sprinkles – think orange, black, purple, green, eyeballs… go wild
• Optional: candy corn, crushed pretzels, or any mini candies you love

Keep it simple. Don’t overthink it. Bark is not the time to stress.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep your workspace – Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This is where all the magic will happen. Trust me, your counter will thank you.
2. Melt the chocolates – In separate bowls, melt white chocolate and dark/milk chocolate in the microwave (30-second intervals, stir in between) until smooth. Or go old-school with a double boiler. Whichever floats your spooky boat.
3. Layer the chocolate – Pour the dark/milk chocolate onto the parchment sheet, spreading it with a spatula. Then drizzle or dollop the white chocolate on top. Swirl gently with a knife for a cool marble effect.
4. Add Oreos – Sprinkle chopped Oreos over the chocolate while it’s still warm. Don’t stir—let the chocolate do its own thing.
5. Top it off – Sprinkle your Halloween confetti: candy eyes, sprinkles, candy corn, or whatever else screams “spooky season.”
6. Chill – Pop the tray in the fridge for about 1 hour or until fully set. Patience, my friend.
7. Break & serve – Crack the bark into random pieces. Imperfection is part of the charm!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overheating chocolate – You want it smooth, not burnt. Nobody likes gritty, sad chocolate.
• Swirling too much – Calm down, Picasso. A little swirl goes a long way.
• Skipping the chill – Bark that melts in your hands before it hits the plate = sad.
• Neglecting the sprinkles – You might think it looks fine plain… but it doesn’t. Halloween is for drama.

Alternatives & Substitutions

• Chocolates: Don’t have white chocolate? Use colored candy melts. No dark chocolate? Go all white or milk.
• Oreos: Substitute with any sandwich cookie, crushed graham crackers, or even pretzels for a salty-sweet twist.
• Sprinkles: Mini chocolate chips, crushed candies, or even freeze-dried fruit for extra flair.

Honestly, the only rule is: have fun with it.

FAQs

Can I make this dairy-free?

Can I store it at room temperature?

Sure, if it’s cool enough, but fridge storage keeps it crisp. Melted chocolate nightmares are real.

Go for it! Just melt in batches or your chocolate will start plotting against you.

Up to 2 weeks in an airtight container. But let’s be real… it won’t last that long.
