Halloween is coming up again. I can’t believe how fast time flies! It feels like yesterday that I posted last year’s Halloween recipe (check out my cute shortbread and white chocolate ganache Ghosts here)… and soon we will start preparing for Christmas! Anyhow, this year I am going to share with you a tutorial on how to make a quick, yet spooky Ghastly Bark. My kids adore chocolate (how to blame them, right?), so you can imagine how quickly this bark disappeared in my house. I am going to make more so we can share it with the kids in the neighbourhood at the annual trick or treating event. And this time, I will make it with my children, as it is really easy and fun to make. Do you want to know how? Keep reading and have a fun, spooky Halloween! Ah… click here for more Halloween recipes!
Ghastly Bark
Ghastly Bark - a fun and spooky project to make with your kids for Halloween.
Ingredients
- 400 gms – 14 oz. dark chocolate
- 200 gms – 7 oz. white chocolate
- Chocolate pearls
Instructions
-
In a microwave safe bowl, melt 200 gms – 7 oz. of dark.
-
Line a 20 cm – 8" x 8" square baking dish with baking paper, and spread your melted dark chocolate over the surface. Refrigerate until hard.
-
In another microwave safe bowl, heat 135 gms – 4 ¾ oz. of white chocolate, and spread it over your first layer of chocolate. Refrigerate again until the white chocolate has hardened.
-
Melt the remaining dark chocolate and white chocolate in two separate bowls.
-
Spoon a little bit of the dark chocolate into a piping bag, and spread the rest over the hardened bark.
-
Spoon all of the white chocolate into a piping bag. While the final layer of chocolate is still warm, start creating ghosts by piping circles of white chocolate. Using a pointy object like a toothpick or a metal skewer, draw one end of each circle out to create a tail.
-
Using the dark chocolate in the piping bag, add eyes and mouths.
-
-
Cut into squares and serve.
