Equipment

  • large baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone mat
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Spatula
  • toothpick or knife for swirling

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz white chocolate chips or melting wafers (about 2½ cups)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • orange and purple gel food coloring (optional for swirling)
  • 2 cups mini pretzel twists (broken into pieces)
  • 1 cup pretzel sticks (optional)
  • M&Ms in fall colors
  • Reese’s Pieces or candy corn
  • Halloween sprinkles or candy eyeballs
  • mini chocolate chips or crushed Oreos (optional)
  • flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Ensure it's smooth and wrinkle-free for clean bark.
  • Melt white chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second bursts, stirring each time, until smooth. Let cool 2 minutes.
  • For color swirls, divide melted chocolate into bowls. Tint with orange and purple gel coloring. Pour onto pan in dollops and swirl with a toothpick.
  • While chocolate is wet, sprinkle broken pretzels over the surface. Gently press them in so they stick.
  • Add chosen toppings like M&Ms, Reese’s Pieces, candy corn, sprinkles, or candy eyes. Lightly press them in so they set into the chocolate.
  • Refrigerate the tray for 30 minutes until chocolate is firm. Or leave at room temp for 1–2 hours until fully set.
  • Lift bark from pan and place on a cutting board. Break into irregular pieces or cut into squares. Store in airtight container.

Notes

Use parchment for easy removal and cleanup. Don’t over-swarm the food coloring or it’ll go muddy. Press toppings gently into the chocolate before it sets. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Great for gifting in clear bags!
