Ingredients
  

  • 24 ounces white chocolate coating or candy melts
  • 1 cup candy corn
  • 1 cup mini pretzels or pretzel pieces
  • 1 cup chocolate sandwich cookies chopped (like Oreos)
  • 1/2 cup candy eyes
  • Halloween sprinkles to taste

Equipment

  • Rimmed baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

  1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Scatter about two-thirds of the chopped chocolate sandwich cookies and pretzel pieces across the parchment paper to create a crunchy base layer. Reserve the remaining cookies and pretzels for topping.
  3. Place white chocolate coating or candy melts in a dry, microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until about 85-90% melted.
  4. Remove from microwave and stir until completely smooth, allowing residual heat to finish melting the chocolate.
  5. Pour the melted chocolate over the cookie and pretzel base. Use an offset spatula to spread it into a rectangle about ¼-inch thick.
  6. Working quickly while the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the remaining cookies and pretzels over the surface.
  7. Distribute the candy corn, candy eyes, and Halloween sprinkles across the chocolate. Press toppings gently into the chocolate—just enough to make them stick without sinking completely.
  8. Allow the bark to set until firm, about 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator, 10-15 minutes in the freezer, or about an hour at cool room temperature.
  9. Once set, lift the bark out by the parchment paper and break it into irregular pieces, or cut into squares with a knife for a more uniform presentation.

Notes

For a more sophisticated flavor, sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt over the top before the chocolate sets. The salt enhances the sweet-salty contrast.
Store the bark in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. It will keep for up to a week at cool room temperature, or refrigerate if your kitchen is warm.
For a dramatic presentation, try reserving some white chocolate, tinting it orange with food coloring, and creating a marbled effect by swirling it into the white chocolate base with a toothpick.
