A quick and easy Halloween treat featuring a rich dark chocolate base with a creamy white chocolate spiderweb design, perfect for festive gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz (280 g) dark chocolate (baking or couverture chocolate)
  • 6 oz (170 g) white chocolate (chips or bars, not candy melts)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) heavy cream (optional)
  • Optional toppings: mini marshmallows, edible glitter, crushed candy canes

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Chop and melt the dark chocolate gently using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the lined baking sheet and spread evenly to about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thickness. Let set at room temperature for 10 minutes or chill for 5 minutes.
  4. Melt the white chocolate using a microwave or double boiler. Stir in vanilla extract and heavy cream until smooth and pourable.
  5. Transfer the white chocolate to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small corner snipped off. Pipe concentric circles over the dark chocolate surface starting from the center.
  6. Use a toothpick or skewer to drag lines from the center to the edges through the white chocolate circles to create the spiderweb pattern.
  7. Chill the tray in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes until the bark is firm and snaps cleanly.
  8. Break the bark into rustic pieces and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in a cool place or refrigerator.

Notes

If white chocolate hardens while piping, gently warm it again for a few seconds. Keep dark chocolate layer about 1/4 inch thick for best texture. Work quickly as chocolate sets fast. Use quality chocolate for best results. Store bark in airtight container at cool room temperature or refrigerate if warm.
