With Halloween coming up this Friday, I figured this D.I.Y. treat with goodie bags would be a perfect post! It’s a fun project to do both with and for the kids, as well as for the Halloween parties I’m sure everyone is going to have!

Halloween Bark

I found this recipe online on how to make the Halloween bark, and boy was it sugary delicious!! Not kidding when I say sugary either…you may or may not want to take each piece of bark in increments.

Ingredients needed:

• 1 lb. of vanilla candy melts (or color and flavor of choice)
• Oreos
• Kit-Kat candy bars
• Pretzels
• Candy corn
• Sprinkles

How to make your Halloween bark:
Step 1: Following instructions on the package, melt 1 lb. of candy melts.

Step 2: While candy melts are melting, place parchment paper onto cookie sheet and prep the Oreos/candies. I suggest breaking the Oreos into fourths, and Kit-Kat’s in halves so it’ll be easier to spread throughout the candy bark.

Step 3: Once candy melts have melted, spread about 1/4 inch thick of candy melt onto the parchment paper.

Step 4: Now you can add Oreos, pretzels, Kit-Kat bars, and candy corn onto your candy bark.

Step 5: Add an extra layer of left over candy melts on top of your assorted treats. As well as adding left over treats.

Step 6: Place into freezer for 10 minutes.

Step 7: After 10 minutes, take out and let cool off for a little before breaking bark into smaller pieces.

Step 8: Your Halloween bark is ready for it’s goodie bags!

Halloween Goodie Bags
These goodie bags are quick and easy to make and take very little supplies! They’re the perfect finishing touch for you to package the bark in and hand out.

What you need:

• Glassine bags
• Washi tape
• Stamps
• Pigment inkpad

How to make your Halloween Goodie Bags:
Step 1: Using stamps and pigment inkpad, stamp a fun Halloween phrase onto glassine bag. Be sure to let ink dry for about 5 minutes.

Step 2: Once ink is dry, place Halloween candy bark into bag and seal shut with washi tape.

Step 3: Your Halloween Goodie Bags are ready to be handed out! If you aren’t handing them out right away, place in the fridge in an airtight container to keep the Halloween bark fresh.

I hope everyone has a happy and safe halloween this weekend!
