Halloween Chocolate Bark

This is hardly a recipe - just a good idea for a half term activity with the children with a spooky Halloween theme.

You can use absolutely any sweeties or other items, such as biscuits, pretzels or chocolate buttons, but the jelly sweets look and taste great. 

Halloween Chocolate  Bark

Here's how:

• 400g Milk chocolate (if making for adults, dark chocolate is nice too)
• Selection of Halloween jelly sweets (we had bones, brains, eyeballs, fingers and thumbs!)
• Selection of Halloween or chocolate sprinkles (we used both)
• Selection of chocolate treats (we used Orange Smarties and the Lidl version of M&M's)

Fill and boil a kettle then half fill a small saucepan and place on a low heat.

Break up the milk chocolate and place into a heat-proof bowl and place above the boiling water and allow to melt. Use a wooden spoon to help the chocolate to break down and stir.

Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and once fully melted pour the chocolate into the tray and move the tray around to evenly distribute the oozing chocolate.

Now simply place the sweet treats you have all around. My kids absolutely loved doing this bit and you can imagine how many sweets didn't make it to the bark! 

Once complete, leave to cool completely on the kitchen side and once cold, place into the fridge for at least an hour to set. 

Now remove from the tray, place onto a chopping board and cut with a sharp knife into shards of bark. Enjoy!
