5-Minute Monster Party Bark for Halloween

Googly eyes will be watching you in this monster of a snack! Chocolate bark is an ideal treat for serving at a party because it can be made so quickly with so little prep work and almost anything goes!

This creepy, crunchy treat starts by melting HERSHEY’S Milk Chocolate Baking Chips and spreading them over a sheet of parchment paper. Then the fun begins by breaking up Halloween themed chocolates, pretzels, candy eyes, and colorful sprinkles and tossing them haphazardly over the melted chocolate. Chocolate caramels and salty pretzels are a match made in monster heaven!

This chocolate bark makes a great gift for anyone you have your “eye” on when placed in a cellophane bag and tied with your favorite spooky string!
