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.

My Favorite type of Halloween candy is 100,000 grand chocolate bars. I don't see them that often in the stores and they are just so good. It just brings back memories of childhood. Isn't it interesting how a food can take you back to your childhood memories

Heath bars!! I don't know if that counts as halloween candy…but they are always my favorite type. I want to make a bark with heath bars and pretzels…yum.

That candy corn bark looks amazing! This is my first time to your blog, but I am really not a fan of Halloween candy, unless its Ghiradelli or Godiva, etc. I'm too much of a chocolate snob.

I wait for my favorite Halloween candy all year long! Mellowcreme Pumpkins and Candy Corn…I love mixing these two sweet treats with dry roasted peanuts. The sweet and the salty is a perfect combination

My favorite candy bar is snickers. Of course, I am not too picky. Anything with chocolate is good.
By the way, that candy bark looks fabulous. I just found your blog last week and have already bookmarked several recipes to try. I made the cinnamon roll cake last week and it was awesome.

I do love the little bite size chocolate bars and if I buy them early, there are none left to give to trick or treaters!
[Reply]
my fave is Almond Joy – syrupy sweet, soft coconut topped with a crunchy almond or two, enveloped in thin milk chocolate. Hello!

I love Halloween and all the crazy movies! My favorite Halloween candy would be candy corn…only time of year that I really eat it!
[Reply]
I love Halloween because it is the beginning of all things candy. I love the candy corn pumpkin guys. Oh, and peppermint patties seem to taste even better in the shape of a bat.

I hate all the scarey aspects of Halloween so you and I have a lot in common. But I do love the candy – especially the mini chocolates that we all eat more of than if we stuck to the full-sized versions. Hmmm, I smell a mini Snickers in my futrue. haha
[Reply]
Ah you said pick one and I am getting all panicky over here…geesh, just one, I pick butterfinger, no, no, heath, well then there's the Reese's…oh crap, I like a lot of halloween candy =o)
[Reply]
I love Reeses and Snickers. The Snickers I use in a salad with chopped apples and cool whip so easy but so delicious.
[Reply]
I love the mini pumpkins that are like the candy corn!
[Reply]
My favorite halloween candy is anything chocolate and miniature…that way you don't feel like you are eating too much!!

I must love tootsie rolls because that is what I always pick out of my kids piles.
[Reply]
My favorite Halloween candy has to be Sugar Daddies. It's the only time of year I ever ate them.

I love caramel candy pops! Actually, I have one in my mouth right now! Those and candy pumpkins- so much better than candy corn!

Since I can remember I love sour candy. But nothing too too sour!! lol. My favorite candy that gives me the sour but not to sour kick is Sweet~tarts!~ YUM!
[Reply]
Snickers bars are my absolutely favorite.
[Reply]
I am a fan of candy corn or the mellowcreme pumpkins. I hoard them when they appear in the stores because they are always sold out by Sept. 1!!
[Reply]
wish you weren't so popular, so i'd have a real shot at this!
Candy corn is my favorite…classic Halloween!
[Reply]
tootsie rolls! loved them for some odd reason. They are just a classic candy as well, and nothing else really tastes like a tootsie roll!
[Reply]
Definitely candy corn! So I'm really excited to make this bark! It looks scrumptious!
[Reply]
I love those sugary pumpkin candies, but candy corn will do in a pinch
[Reply]
I love mini crunch bars.
[Reply]
I'm a lady of tradition, candy corn wins it for me.
[Reply]
I always loved the flavored tootsie rolls. They were the best, and still are.

Growing up, my favorite Halloween candy was the fruit flavored tootsie rolls, or anything chocolate. But, now that I'm older, I can't get enough of Carmel apples rolled in chopped nuts! – @dalyn
