Pondering What To Do With All Of Your Kiddo's Halloween Candy?



By now your thinking to yourself, what on earth am I going to do with all of the pounds of Halloween candy that my kiddo's collected last Saturday? Well, this is my suggestion to you. Make some bark baby!

Back in the day when I was a mere lad in High School, I worked in a candy department. I was fortunate enough to apprentice with some of the finest "Candy Connoisseurs" in all of Wisconsin and they taught me alot. Making "Bark" was a simple technique that they would use in order to decorate even the oddest of candy's up. All you needed to do was melt a pound of any color chocolate and then mix and match a variety of candys with it. So what I am trying to say is grab thous Snickers, Reece's, Butterfingers, Carmel's, Twix, ect...Chop them up and swirl it into the melted chocolate. Easy right!

1 lb of Baking Chocolate (any color)
Handfuls of a variety of Halloween candy roughly chopped

Melt chocolate in a NON-stick skillet on the stove top. Do not over cook chocolate or you will have a goopy (word?) mess. For approximately 5 minutes. Grab a sheet pan, and cover it with parchment paper. Pour melted chocolate on paper evenly. Take your chopped up candy and sprinkle it over chocolate. Voila.

Enjoy,

What a smart mommy you are. I try to get rid of the candy any way we possible can. I do good avoiding the chocolate but the sweet candy just calls my name. Can you believe we had no rain on Halloween. The news said we might have a week without any drops. Isn't that music to the hears. Have a fabulous day!
