How to Make Fall White Chocolate Bark
I start by prepping my rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Once the chocolate melts you have to move quickly, so you want everything ready.
Cut your pumpkin candies in half so they would lay flat in the bark and you only need to see half to get the effect you want to.
I used 6 cups of white chocolate melts to make this Fall White Chocolate Bark. I poured them into a heatproof bowl that is a large measuring cup.
The easiest way to melt chocolate is in your microwave. My microwave has a chocolate melting setting, but if yours doesn’t, you just want to use 30-second intervals until your chocolate melts. Use your spatula to stir the chocolate around after each 30-second interval.
If your chocolate is not completely melted to a liquid form, place it back in your microwave for another 30 seconds.
Once it’s melted completely, pour the melted chocolate on top of the parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. I spread the chocolate out with my spatula into a thin layer, and then top the baking sheet on the counter to get the surface smooth and level.
Next, I took my half pumpkin candies and placed them on the top of the white chocolate. I poured some of the fall sprinkles into my hand and sprinkled them on top until I had the look I wanted. There’s no right or wrong way when it comes to decorating. You can go minimalist or heavy-handed with your decoration.
If your home isn’t too warm you can let the bark set up on your counter. Or you can place it in the refrigerator to set up quicker. Once it’s set you just break it into chunks. You could place them chunks into baggies to make a great gift for your friends and neighbors. This is such an easy recipe to make a great to do with your kiddos. After making these I realized that a layer of dark chocolate or milk chocolate at the bottom of this bark would have looked amazing and tasted delicious too!
Other Bark Ideas
During the Christmas season, we love making peppermint bark with crushed candy canes on top! That is my personal favorite as I love chocolate and mint combo. There is a bark that can be made for any time of year. Another fun fall bark option would be using orange zest and pumpkin seeds. Or what about caramel drizzle with some sea salt sprinkled on top?
