Ingredients
16 oz high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa recommended)
4 oz purple candy melts
4 oz bright green candy melts
1/2 cup candy eyeballs of various sizes
1/4 cup black and orange sprinkles
1 tsp edible silver luster dust (optional)
1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
Step 1: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to ensure your sinister sweets candy bark recipe doesn’t stick.
Step 2: Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces and melt using a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring until completely smooth.
Step 3: Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and use an offset spatula to spread it into an even layer about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 4: Melt the purple and green candy melts in separate bowls. Drop random spoonfuls of the colored melts onto the wet dark chocolate.
Step 5: Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the colors together, creating a marbled, haunting effect for your sinister sweets candy bark recipe.
Step 6: While the chocolate is still wet, press the candy eyeballs, sprinkles, and sea salt into the surface. Dust with silver luster dust if using.
Step 7: Refrigerate the bark for at least 45 minutes or until completely firm. Once set, break or cut into irregular, sharp shards and serve.
Notes
Store the bark in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks. Avoid the fridge for long-term storage to prevent the chocolate from blooming.
