Ingredients List

• 400g (14 oz) white chocolate chips or bars
• 50g (1.75 oz) dark chocolate chips
• ¼ cup candy eyes
• 1/3 cup mini marshmallows
• 1/4 cup crushed Oreos (optional for texture)

Note: Feel free to add other toppings, like Halloween-themed sprinkles or edible glitter, to enhance the spooky vibes!

Detailed Method of Preparation

1. Melt the white chocolate:
   • Place the white chocolate chips or broken bars in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
2. Spread the white chocolate:
   • Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Pour the melted white chocolate onto the tray and spread it evenly with a spatula to about ¼-inch thickness.
3. Create ghostly swirls:
   • Melt the dark chocolate in the same way as the white chocolate. Drizzle it over the white chocolate in thin lines. Use a toothpick to swirl the dark chocolate, creating ghost-like shapes.
4. Decorate with toppings:
   • Place candy eyes on the “ghosts” to give them an eerie expression. Scatter mini marshmallows and crushed Oreos on top while the chocolate is still warm.
5. Chill and break the bark:
   • Transfer the tray to the refrigerator for 20 minutes or until the chocolate hardens. Once set, break the bark into irregular pieces.

Tips for Culinary Success

• Temperature control: Avoid overheating the chocolate, as it can seize and become grainy. If this happens, stir in a teaspoon of vegetable oil to smooth it out.
• Custom toppings: Switch out the candy eyes for Halloween sprinkles or gummy worms for a fun twist!
• Storage tip: Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can I use white chocolate bars instead of chips?

Yes! Just chop the bars into smaller pieces to ensure even melting.

2. Can I make this bark ahead of time?

Absolutely. Prepare the bark a few days in advance and store it in an airtight container for a stress-free treat on the big day.

3. What if I don’t have candy eyes?

You can pipe little chocolate dots as eyes using melted dark chocolate, or swap them with mini chocolate chips for an equally spooky effect.
