Halloween Candy Bark
1 lb bittersweet chocolate chips
1/2 c salted peanuts
3 Heath bars, cut into jagged pieces
1 1/2 c Reese’s Pieces (candy corn or M&M’s would work well too)
3.5 oz white chocolate (we used 1 bar of Lindt)
Line a 9x13 baking sheet or tray with wax paper. Fill a small pot approximately 1/3 full with water and bring to a simmer on medium-low heat. Find a large Pyrex or metal mixing bowl that will fit on top of the pot. Add the bittersweet chocolates to the bowl and stir over the heat until completely melted. Add the peanuts and pour onto the wax surface, spreading out 1/4-inch thick. Sprinkle the Heath Bar and Reese’s Pieces onto the melted chocolate. In a smaller pot, melt the white chocolate the same way as the bittersweet. Dip a fork into the melted white chocolate and wave it over the sheet of bark. Have fun creating various zigzags and lines. Chill the bark in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until firm. Break the bark into pieces and share.
This would also be a great activity to do with kids after Halloween with any kind of leftover candy.
