This spooky White Chocolate Ghost Bark is an easy Halloween treat made with creamy white chocolate, dark chocolate ghost faces, and colorful Halloween sprinkles. It takes only a few simple ingredients and makes a fun dessert for Halloween parties, movie nights, or a festive treat table.
🛒 Ingredients
- 1 (12 oz) bag white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Halloween sprinkles — orange, black, and purple
- Parchment paper
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1 — Prepare the Baking Sheet
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Make sure the parchment lies flat so the chocolate will spread evenly.
Step 2 — Melt the White Chocolate
Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds. Remove and stir well.
Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
Step 3 — Spread the Chocolate
Pour the melted white chocolate into the center of the prepared baking sheet.
Using a spatula, gently spread the chocolate into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Try to keep the surface relatively even.
Step 4 — Melt the Dark Chocolate
Place the dark chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave at 50% power in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until melted and smooth.
Step 5 — Create the Ghost Faces
While the white chocolate is still soft, use a small spoon to place small, widely spaced circles of melted dark chocolate across the surface.
Leave enough space between each circle for the ghost shapes and decorations.
Step 6 — Make the Ghosts
Immediately take a toothpick and place it near the top center of each dark chocolate circle.
Drag the toothpick straight downward through the circle and slightly into the surrounding white chocolate.
This creates a stretched, spooky ghost-face effect.
Repeat with all of the chocolate circles.
Step 7 — Add Halloween Sprinkles
Immediately scatter the orange, black, and purple Halloween sprinkles into the empty spaces between the ghost faces.
Gently press any larger sprinkles into the chocolate if necessary so they stick.
Step 8 — Let the Bark Set
Leave the bark at room temperature for about 1 hour, or until completely firm.
For faster setting, you can place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 20–30 minutes.
Step 9 — Break Into Pieces
Once completely set, carefully lift the bark from the parchment paper.
Break it into irregular pieces or shards using your hands.
🎃 Serving
Arrange the ghost bark on a Halloween serving platter and serve as a festive sweet treat. It’s also perfect for Halloween parties, school treats, dessert tables, or packaging into small treat bags.
💡 Tips for Perfect Ghost Bark
- Use microwave-safe bowls and avoid getting water into the chocolate.
- Stir the chocolate frequently while melting to prevent scorching.
- Don’t overheat the chocolate; gentle heating produces a smoother texture.
- Create the ghost faces while the white chocolate is still wet.
- Work fairly quickly when adding the sprinkles so they stick.
- Store the finished bark in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
👻 Storage
Store the finished White Chocolate Ghost Bark in an airtight container for up to 1–2 weeks. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight or heat.
