Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Melt the White Chocolate
Place the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can seize up.
Step 2: Spread the Chocolate
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the melted white chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it evenly into a thin layer using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Step 3: Add the Toppings
Sprinkle the chopped Oreos, Reese’s Pieces, Halloween sprinkles, and Halloween eyeball candies evenly over the melted white chocolate. Gently press the toppings into the chocolate to ensure they adhere.
Step 4: Chill
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least one hour, or until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
Step 5: Break and Enjoy
Once the chocolate is set, remove the bark from the refrigerator. Break it into irregular pieces by hand or score it lightly with a knife for cleaner edges. Enjoy!
