Description

This Melted Witch Bark recipe is a fun and festive Halloween treat that combines vibrant green candy melts with an assortment of mini candies and pretzel sticks to create adorable witch-themed snacks. Perfect for parties, these easy-to-make melted candy circles are decorated with mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Halloween Oreos, Hershey’s Hugs, and chocolate chips, making a delicious and visually striking dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 bag Wilton Candy Melts (vibrant green)

Add-ins and Decorations

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (divided)
  • 8 pretzel sticks
  • 8 mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
  • 8 Halloween Oreos
  • 8 Hershey’s Hugs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the workspace: Begin by laying out parchment paper on a cookie sheet to prevent the melted candy from sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Organize ingredients: Get pretzel sticks, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Halloween Oreos, Hershey’s Hugs, and mini chocolate chips out and ready so they are easy to grab during assembly.
  3. Melt the Candy Melts: Place 1 cup of green candy melts in a small pot and melt on low heat while stirring constantly to avoid burning. Once fully melted, spoon the candy onto the parchment paper and spread into circles approximately 4 inches in diameter.
  4. Melt remaining mini chocolate chips: Quickly add the remaining mini chocolate chips to a small pot and melt on low heat, stirring constantly. Spoon a small amount of the melted mini chips onto the green candy circles and use a toothpick to swirl them around, creating decorative patterns.
  5. Add decorations: Place one Halloween Oreo to represent a witch’s hat in the corner of each melted candy circle. Dip a Hershey’s Hug into excess melted chocolate and place it on top of the Oreo. Use mini chocolate chips to make eyes next to the hat.
  6. Assemble the witch handle: Stick a pretzel stick into each mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. Then, place these on the opposite side of the Oreo to represent the witch’s broomstick.
  7. Set and serve: Let the assembled melted witch barks set completely until firm. Once set, they are ready to eat or can be packaged for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Simple sweet Melted Witch Bark is SO cute and festive, making it perfect for a party activity.
  • Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
  • Work quickly when swirling designs and adding decorations to prevent the candy from hardening too soon.
  • You can customize decorations with other Halloween-themed candies if desired.
