Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz dark chocolate chips or bar (preferably Ghirardelli or Lindt)
- 6 oz white chocolate chips or bar
- 1 small pack candy eyes
- 1 tbsp butter (optional, for smoothing chocolate)
- Optional toppings: crushed pretzels, chopped nuts, Halloween sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth (about 3-4 minutes). Stir in butter if desired.
- Pour and spread the melted dark chocolate evenly on the parchment-lined baking sheet to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Melt the white chocolate using the same method in a separate bowl.
- Transfer the white chocolate to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small corner cut off.
- Pipe concentric circles of white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer, starting from the center.
- Drag a toothpick or skewer from the center outward through the circles several times to create a spider web effect.
- Scatter candy eyes and any optional toppings over the bark, pressing lightly to stick.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until fully set and firm.
- Break into irregular pieces and serve or store in an airtight container.
Notes
Use gentle heat and frequent stirring to avoid burning chocolate. Keep white chocolate slightly warm while piping to prevent it from setting too quickly. Candy melts can be used but may harden faster and be less smooth. Store bark in airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days or refrigerated for 1-2 weeks. For dairy-free, use vegan chocolates and coconut oil instead of butter.
