Equipment
- Parchment Paper
- baking sheet
- 2 microwave safe bowls
Ingredients
- 1 bag Wilton Orange Candy Melts
- 1 bag Wilton Purple or Lavender Candy Melts
- Candy Corn
- Halloween Sprinkles
- Candy Eye Balls
Instructions
- Place each bag of candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl or container. Make sure both will fit in the microwave at the same time!
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use binder clips to hold it in place.
- Get the rest of the ingredients ready so they are within your reach as soon as the candy melts are melted. You want to work FAST at getting all the toppings on before the candy cools and hardens. Place candies in bowls, open the sprinkles, unwrap, cut, chop, etc if you are using additional ingredients.
- Microwave both bowls simultaneously at 30-second intervals. Between heating, stir the melts using a rubber spatula. Repeat until the candy melts are almost melted when you remove them from the microwave - stirring will cause the final ones to melt. ** Mine took exactly 2 minutes in the large-sized glass bowls I used.
- Drop big blobs of each of the candy melts into alternating circles along the parchment paper. Work in rows so you drop some purple then orange and repeat across the parchment until you reach the end - then repeat for the next row.... work fast!
- Once all the candy melt is dropped in sections on the parchment, use a rubber spatula to spread, swirl, & twirl to colors to create designs. While doing so try and get the candy melts as even as possible. It does not need to be smooth - the bumps & crevices hold the candy & are fun.
- As soon as the candy melt is spread out, start adding the toppings quickly. Add the candy eyes, candy corn, & sprinkles so they are evenly distributed.
- Let the candy bark cool so it sets and hardens. Keep it in a cool dry place away from heat or the sun. It will be ready in about 30 minutes.
- Once it is hard, time to break it into pieces. Using your hands or a sharp knife break or cut the bark into small to medium-sized pieces. Try and make sure every piece has some of all the toppings.
- Enjoy! Place the Halloween candy bark in a container with a tight-fitting lid. Store in a cool dry place for up to a week.
