Halloween…the time of year for all things, spooky. I was never a fan of Halloween as a kid…now don’t get me wrong, I did love me some trick or treat candy, but all the ghouls, witches, and goblins truly freaked me out. I was never one to be particularly entertained by the Freddy Krueger, Jason or Halloween movies. To be honest, I would “watch” them through the cracks of my fingers or from the edge of my pillow, but never to the point that I could follow the plot or retell the story. I would walk through haunted houses in complete blindness latching myself onto the person in front of me as a guide. To this day, the scary aspects of Halloween do not appeal to me…I am as big of a scardy cat today as I was fifteen years ago. However, I do like the cute, fun, playful side of Halloween and definitely like creating treats based upon this time of the year. So I thought I would throw together something fun and host a giveaway just in time for the 31st! My first Halloween themed sweet treat is Candy Corn Bark. This stuff is sinfully sweet, but so cute and easy…I could not resist giving a whirl! I hope you enjoy this recipe…I hope it doesn’t hurt your teeth too much! 
adapted from allrecipes
Ingredients
10 Halloween-colored chocolate sandwich cookies, chopped (I used regular Oreos)
3/4 cup broken small pretzel sticks
12 ounce bag of white chocolate chips
1 cup candy corn
orange and brown sprinkles
Method
1. Line an 8×8 baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Spread the cookies and pretzels in the bottom of the pan.
3. Melt chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water, or in the microwave, stirring frequently until melted. Remove from the heat while there are still a few chunks, and stir until smooth. White chocolate burns easily.
4. Drizzle chocolate with a spoon over the goodies in the pan, spreading the top flat to coat evenly.
5. Top with candy corn and sprinkles. Let cool until firm. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

Hands down finding those Reeses Peanutbutter Cups in my pillow case I carry around while trick or treating is the best ever. I literally separate them from all the rest of the candy first before I eat anything. Mmm.. delicious!

Chocolate!
At Halloween, Christmas, Easter, Arbor Day. Doesn't matter. Dark chocolate first, milk chocolate second.
Never did like those Mary Jane bars though…

Love the old-fashioned Kraft caramels squares wrapped in clear wrappers. Sometimes, a chocolate caramel would show up in the bag and that was a treat!

It has to be ghost peeps – hands down. Ok – any kind of peeps, really but since we are talking halloween – then the ghosts.

My favorite Halloween candy are the sour apple lolly pops with caramel! I LOVE caramel apples, so this is an inexpensive way to get my fix

I have been wanting to try this Halloween bark for some time. Problem is, I know that I will be the only one who eats it. I LOVE Candy Corn. When it hits the shelves in late September, I am all over it! I seriously can't stop myself some times. Terrible. I shouldn't even buy it! Very generous giveaway, my friend!
[Reply]
Fun-size Snickers, hands down. I used to trade my sisters my Twix bars for them

Reeses peanut butter cups in the shape of a pumpkin and Dots.

I can't wait to make the bark. It looks amazing! My favorite halloween candy would have to be candy corn. I think it's the fact that you can only buy it this time of year that makes it so special.
[Reply]
This year I am obsessed with candy corn and the mellowcreme pumpkins…I used to hate them and now can't get enough!
[Reply]
Oh, boy…me and bark didn't get along last year, that was until I figured out I wasn't actually using white chocolate.
Thanks for the recipe. I'm gonna keep it in mind for the children's Halloween parties!
I'm not a chocolate person so my fave halloween candy is the small packs of sour patch kids. Love the tinier but so sour size!

What is your favorite type of Halloween candy? My favorite is Halloween Popcorn Balls and Mini Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. MMMM!
[Reply]
Favorite Halloween candy is candy corn. I only allow myself to buy it in the month of October because I am really addicted to mixing it with roasted peanuts. Tastes a lot like a Payday candy bar! I'm so proud of myself for not purchasing any yet this month since I'm trying to lose a few pounds.
[Reply]
When I'm really in the Halloween spirit, I especially enjoy gross out candies like gummy body parts or gummy brains. The taste may not be the best, but it just feels so right!
[Reply]
My favorite is definitely Reese's Peanut Butter cups. I love them especially at Halloween and Easter.
