This Halloween Bark Recipe is a festive and easy-to-make treat perfect for celebrating the spooky season. Layers of graham crackers, melted marshmallows, and creamy semi-sweet chocolate combine to create a delightful base that’s topped with a variety of colorful Halloween candies. It’s a no-bake dessert that’s fun for kids and adults alike, making it an ideal addition to your Halloween party spread or seasonal dessert table.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 12 large graham crackers

Marshmallow Mixture

  • 40 large marshmallows (or 300 grams mini marshmallows)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)

Chocolate Topping

  • 8 ounces Baker’s semi-sweet chocolate (broken into small squares)

Decorations

  • Variety of Halloween candy (such as candy corn, M&M’s, gummy spiders, mini chocolate bars)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking sheet: Line a 9.5″x 13″ baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Arrange graham crackers: Place the 12 large graham crackers in a single even layer on the prepared baking sheet, covering as much of the surface as possible.
  3. Melt marshmallows: In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the marshmallows and pour the melted butter on top. Stir well to coat all the marshmallows. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the marshmallows have fully melted and formed a smooth, sticky mixture.
  4. Spread marshmallow layer: Pour the melted marshmallow mixture evenly over the graham crackers, spreading it carefully to the edges of the pan for full coverage.
  5. Melt chocolate: In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  6. Add chocolate layer: Pour the melted chocolate over the marshmallow layer. Using a spatula, spread the chocolate gently and evenly over the surface to create a smooth top layer.
  7. Decorate with candy: While the chocolate is still soft, press your chosen variety of Halloween candies into the chocolate surface, distributing them evenly and creatively for a festive look.
  8. Chill to set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate and marshmallow layers to set firmly.
  9. Serve: Once set, break or cut the Halloween bark into pieces and serve as a festive treat to your guests.

Notes

  • For easier melting, use mini marshmallows instead of large marshmallows.
  • You can customize the toppings with any seasonal candy or nuts you prefer.
  • Store leftover bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • If you prefer a different chocolate flavor, white or milk chocolate works just as well.
  • Be careful not to overheat the chocolate when melting to avoid burning or seizing.
