Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz white chocolate chopped or in chips
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds raw or roasted
  • 1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes lightly toasted for flavor
  • 4 cups marshmallows puffy and white
  • 1 tsp cinnamon ground
  • optional dark chocolate drizzle for decoration
  • a pinch sea salt brightens flavors

Equipment

  • Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
  • Baking sheet with parchment paper
  • Toasting pan or oven-safe dish
  • Spatula
  • Sharp knife or breaker

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and have all your toppings ready nearby.
  2. Heat the white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until completely smooth and melted.
  3. Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it evenly into a 1/4-inch thick layer.
  4. Sprinkle the pumpkin seeds, toasted coconut flakes, and a pinch of cinnamon evenly over the chocolate, pressing lightly to embed the toppings into the surface.
  5. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Spread marshmallows on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 4-6 minutes until golden and puffed, listening for the gentle bubbling and watching for caramelization.
  6. Once toasted, carefully arrange the marshmallows on top of the chocolate layer, pressing them gently into the surface.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the fridge and chill for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate is firm and set.
  8. Once cooled, break the bark into rustic, uneven pieces using a sharp knife or your hands.
  9. If desired, drizzle with melted dark chocolate for extra contrast and decoration.
  10. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top to enhance the flavors and add a finishing touch.
  11. Enjoy your spooky, crunchy Halloween bark as a festive treat or gift!

Notes

For a more dramatic look, add extra toppings like edible glitter or colored sprinkles. Keep the bark refrigerated to maintain its crispness, especially in warm weather.
