Ingredients
- 12 ounces dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (60% cacao recommended)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 6 ounces white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
- Assorted Halloween candy spiders or candy eyes
- Optional: orange and black sprinkles, chopped pretzels, or crushed Oreos
Instructions
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, letting it extend slightly over the edges for easy lifting.
- Melt 12 ounces dark chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth (about 1.5-2 minutes).
- Pour melted dark chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even 1/4-inch thick layer (roughly 9×13 inches).
- In a separate bowl, melt 6 ounces white chocolate chips with 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring gently, until smooth and pourable.
- Spoon melted white chocolate into a small piping bag or zip-top bag; snip a tiny corner (about 1/8 inch wide).
- Pipe concentric circles of white chocolate over the dark chocolate base, starting from the center and spacing circles about 1 inch apart (4-5 circles total).
- Using a toothpick or skewer, gently drag from the center outward to the edge (like spokes), spacing about 1 inch apart. Then drag from the outer edge back toward the center between the spokes to create the web pattern. Wipe the toothpick clean between drags.
- While chocolate is still wet, press candy spiders or candy eyes into the bark. Add optional sprinkles or pretzels if desired.
- Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until completely firm and the bark lifts easily off the parchment.
- Lift parchment, then break the bark into irregular 2-3 inch pieces with your hands.
Notes
Work quickly with the web pattern—you have about 30-45 seconds before the white chocolate sets. If your kitchen is warm (above 75°F), the bark may need extra fridge time. For best results, let chocolate chips sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before melting. The bark tastes even better after a day or two as flavors meld.
