    • White Melting Chocolate
    • Red Cookie Icing

    There are different types of melting chocolate so grab whatever you can find. I had trouble finding it at my local grocery store. I finally found some at Target.

    You can also use white chocolate chips if that is all you can find. Or the Wilton melting chocolates that they sell at Micheal's and other craft stores work too.

    Ready-made red cookie icing has a nice consistency to make the red blobs you need to make the blood splatter look. You can make your own if you know how, but using store-bought keeps it super simple!

    How to make Bloody Bark for Halloween

    Melted white chocolate on a piece of wax paper.

    Step 1

    Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. This will make removing the hardened chocolate super easy when it's time to break up the bark.

    Step 2

    Put the melting chocolate into a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 45 second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.

    Step 3

    Pour the melted chocolate onto parchment paper. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to smooth it out.

    Try to keep the thickness of the chocolate the same all over.

    Let the white chocolate set up slightly, so your cookie icing can sit on top and not melt into it.

    Step 4

    Open the red cookie icing and use it to create puddles, lines, and splatters.

    The best part is you can’t mess it up! I started with puddles and dots and then added some lines. 

    Place the baking sheet and bark in the freezer for 10 minutes to help it harden.

    Step 5

    Once the white chocolate has hardened, break it up into pieces.

    Tips

    You can use any kind of white chocolate but it will taste best if the main ingredient is cocoa butter rather than hydrogenated oils.

    Avoid overheating the chocolate. If you don't want to use the microwave you can use a double-boiler to melt the chocolate slowly without direct heat.

    If you are worried about your blood splatter ability, practice on a piece of wax paper first.

    Storing

    Store your blood splatter white chocolate bark in an air-tight container in a cool place.

    Variations

    • While this Halloween bark looks great the way it is, you can also add other elements, like edible glitter, crushed cookies, or chopped nuts for texture and flavor. Candy eyes would also be a fun addition for a Halloween party.
    • You can make this bark with milk or dark chocolate also. In that case, I would drizzle equal parts white and red on top so the red can stand out more.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why did my white chocolate get clumpy when I melted it?

    You may have overheated your chocolate if it got clumpy when you melted it. You can try adding a teaspoon of vegetable oil or shortening to smooth it out.

    How far in advance can I make my white chocolate bark?

    You can make this white chocolate bark a day or two ahead of when you want to serve it. Store it in an air-tight container and keep it in a cool place.

    Can I customize the flavor of the white chocolate?

    Yes, you can add small amounts of extracts to the white chocolate to flavor it. Try peppermint, almond or lemon!
