Halloween Candy Bark S’mores

If you’ve been reading my blog since last October, you may remember my Halloween Candy Bark and if you’ve still been reading since December may remember my Christmas Candy Bark, Easter Candy Bark and Banana Nut Candy Bark. Just in case you haven’t noticed or you’ve been living in la la land, I have a serious fascination with candy. You all probably think I’m married to Willy Wonka and we have Oompa Loompas for children. Although I’d prefer if Willy Wonka was Johnny Depp…
And I’m totally into swirling chocolate so of course I’m obsessed with all kinds of candy bark. But as much as I love candy bark (and swirling chocolate, it’s all about swirling the chocolate), I really wanted to make a sweet treat using the candy bark as an ingredient. Ok my real reason was because I wanted to toast some marshmallows under the broiler and burn one. I’m all about the burnt marshmallows.

First you’ll need to make the Halloween Candy Bark. This time I decided to do swirls of orange because I wanted to be super festive and I’m cheesy like that. I’m so tempted to make a joke about the color orange and cheese but I’ll stop.
Place a large piece of parchment paper down on the counter.

Now get your Halloween candy and cookies ready. This obviously is only a small part of my ever growing supply. You’ll need 1/2 cup Halloween Oreos (chopped into chunks), 1/4 cup Halloween Kit Kats (that you’ve chopped into pieces), 1/4 cup Fall colored M&Ms and 1/4 cup candy corn. Set the candy aside while you work on the chocolate.

In a microwavable bowl, melt 8 ounces of semi sweet chocolate chips and 8 ounces of milk chocolate chips. I like using Guittard or Ghiradelli. I really don’t recommend using Nestle. It doesn’t firm up at all. If you use Nestle, your candy bark won’t even be hard the next day. Trust me…I’m candy obsessed so I know these things.

Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper and spread it out into a rectangle. If your rectangle looks messed up, don’t you worry. It’s going to be used for s’mores and the Oompa Loompa won’t come after you if your rectangle looks like a big circle. :)

Melt 4 ounces of orange candy melts.

Place drops of the orange candy melts on top of the chocolate. It’s almost time to swirl the chocolates, I’m super excited.

Using a knife, swirl it down and up.

Then back and forth.

Go back and fix the places where there aren’t many swirls or go ahead and fix it if your swirls look messed up. Or if you’re having way too much fun like me and just like to keep swirling it.

Place the candy and cookies on top of the melted chocolate.

Let the candy bark dry for at least 4 hours. (it may take longer. If it’s not drying fast enough it’s because your chocolate is too thick)

Once the candy bark has dried, cut it into pieces. I cut it into about 20 pieces. Set the pieces of candy bark aside.

Place graham cracker squares down. I’m doing 6 s’mores at a time because…I have no reason other than my birthday is May 6th and I felt like doing 6. I’m so weird.

Top the graham cracker squares with the candy bark pieces. Now moving along…

Put a piece of foil on a baking sheet. Spray it with non stick spray. Place the marshmallows down on the foil.

Now pay attention! Toast the marshmallows under the broiler and please don’t walk away while they’re toasting. It only takes a couple of minutes.

Put the toasted marshmallows on top of the chocolate.

Top the marshmallow with the other graham cracker square.

Mmmm Halloween Candy Bark S’mores. Pure sugar bliss (high?!)

Enjoy!

Halloween Candy Bark S’mores

1/2 cup Halloween Oreos, chopped
1/4 cup candy corn
1/4 cup Halloween Kit Kats, chopped
1/4 cup Fall colored Peanut Butter M&Ms
8 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips (I recommend Guittard or Ghirardelli semi sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips. I don’t recommend Nestle, it doesn’t dry very well and will still be soft the next day.)
8 ounces milk chocolate chips
4 ounces orange candy melts

20 graham cracker sheets
20 marshmallows

First make the candy bark:
Chop the Halloween Oreos and measure out 1/2 cup. Chop the Halloween Kit Kats and measure out 1/4 cup. Measure out the candy corn and the M&Ms. Set the candy aside.

Place a large piece of parchment paper down on the counter.

In a large microwavable bowl, melt the semi sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips together.
Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper. Spread it out into a 9 by 12 inch rectangle with a spatula.

Melt the orange candy melts in a small microwavable bowl.
Place drops of the melted candy in rows of three.
Using a knife, swirl the chocolate down and up and then back and forth.
I always go back and swirl the chocolate in different places where there aren’t many swirls.

Place the candy and cookies on top of the melted chocolate. Let the candy bark dry for at least 4 hours.

Once the candy bark has dried, chop it into about 20 pieces. Set the candy bark pieces aside.

For the s’mores:
These are the directions to make 20 s’mores at a time. Feel free to do however many you want at a time.

Break the 20 graham cracker sheets in half.
Place a piece of candy bark on 20 of the graham cracker pieces.

Take a baking sheet and line it with foil. Spray the foil with non stick spray.
Place the marshmallows on top of the foil. Put the baking sheet under the broiler until the marshmallows are toasted.

Put a toasted marshmallow on top of each candy bark piece.
Take the other graham cracker pieces and press them on top of the toasted marshmallows.

Enjoy!

  1. This is completely brilliant! I never would’ve thought to use bark instead of a chocolate bar.

    Also…interesting what you said about Nestle chocolate not firming up. I made chocolate chip cookies recently and decided to dip half of each cookie in melted chocolate. I used melted Nestle chips and they never completely solidified. Now I know why!

  2. You always have fun and amazingly tasty recipes..and this one is totally one of them..My kids would go bananas over these..Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day!!!!

  3. I now have this need to swirl chocolate. Oh and also eat an entire bag of candy corn. Yeah, the latter will probably actually happen when I get home from work tonight…

  13. Let bark dry for 4 hours? Sheesh, I’m not sure if I could wait 4 hours before trying to sneak a piece or two…so three but you cant leave it at an odd number so it has to be four pieces.
    Great job, now I want to go on a bark making frenzy with crazy colors and flavors…

    Your Halloween bark looks so good. And I love the combination of dark chocolate/black with orange. So Halloweeny, I love it! I plan on making chocolate bark before the year is over, hopefully I wont run out of time.

  24. Alyssa says:

    That would be a great treat for a halloween party! Just the bark alone would wow guests I’m sure, but making it into a s’more really puts it over the top! Also, a great way to use up all the halloween candy I’m sure to be stuck with in a few weeks!

  25. Omg these look dangerous! But such a great treat for Halloween! I love how you made the halloween candy bak instead of just using hershey bars… great way to blend together halloween with a campfire treat!

  26. Emily says:

    Are you serious with this?!

    I think I’m going to leave my husband for you.

  29. Oh my goodness! I wish I had had this idea when I was a Girl Scout leader, the girls would have LOVED this and they would have had a blast putting it all together.
    So sorry I going to miss you at the Festival… so many people are coming and I’m really bummer. However, I think I’ll get over it as my husband surprised me with an anniversary trip to Italy instead!! We leave in a few days. Super excited! I will miss meeting you though…
