Sweet & Spooky Dark Chocolate Bark

Rich, salty and sweet dark chocolate bark, complete with pumpkin seeds, crunchy pretzels and edible eyes on top! The bark is a little bit spooky and a whole lot delicious! And as an added bonus dairy gluten-free. A great natural alternative to the sugary treats our kids eat so much of as Halloween approaches. Speaking of Halloween, aren’t these spider web bags perfect for the season?

I love the way they’re printed with the black web design and couldn’t wait to use them. They showcase my spooky bark perfectly and look even prettier when finished with simple black and white twist ties. The twist ties are also from ClearBags.

Notes

• Adjust the bark toppings as desired.

As you can see, the bark is simple to make and even easier to package! You can assemble the bags days in advance, and give them away as Halloween party favors. They’d also make great goodies for trick-or-treaters and for the kids in your little one’s classroom.
