Corn Candy Bark

I dislike Candy Corn. Enough said.

While browsing Pinterest, an addictive website, I came across this recipe for Candy Corn Bark.

I'm trying to be a fun, holiday Mom, decorating the house for my 4 year old. Making footprint ghosts to hang on the wall and trash bag ghosts for the front lawn. You'd have to see photos to understand how cute these crafts are. And, since my little guy has been recently exposed to candy corn, I decided to give this recipe a try.

Ingredients

• 16 Halloween-colored chocolate sandwich cookies, chopped (Oreo brand)
  
• 1 1/2 cups broken small pretzels
• 1/3 cup raisins
• 1 1/2 pounds white chocolate, broken into squares
  
• 2 cups candy corn
• orange and brown sprinkles (optional)
  

Directions

1. Spread the cookies, pretzels and raisins evenly onto a lightly greased small baking sheet. Melt chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water, or in the microwave, stirring frequently until melted. Remove from the heat while there are still a few chunks, and stir until smooth. White chocolate burns easily.
2. Drizzle chocolate with a spoon over the goodies in the pan, spreading the top flat to coat evenly. Top with candy corn and sprinkles. Let cool until firm. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

I made a few changes to the recipe...

Ingredient change: I used white chocolate chips instead of chopping up bars.

Direction changes: I used parchment paper to line a 13x9 pan. It made it easy to pull out of the pan. I also do not have it stored in an air-tight container. I have it in a glass bowl (the one in the photo). After 4 days it's still fresh.

This recipe came out really well. The sweet of the raisins and the salty flavor of the pretzels combined nicely with the creamy flavor of the white chocolate. The taste of candy corn disappears and therefore you can have a fun, colorful Halloween treat that tastes really good.
