Barkin’ Good M&M’s Halloween Bark Recipe – #MMsGetCorny

I woke up this morning with my mind on baking. I was a woman on a mission to create an amazing Halloween recipe packed with some of my favorite treats. A friend and I hopped into the car and drove up to the nearest Walmart. Items on my shopping list for this baking endeavor were the new M&M’s Candy Corn White Chocolate, chocolate, pretzels, Oreos, and sprinkles. The goal: M&M’s Candy Corn Bark (which from this point forward will be called the “Barkin’ Good M&M’s Halloween Bark.)

We walked into the store and packed the cart with the items we needed to bake the recipe, plus a few more household items. (Nothing exciting – sadly just baggies and cleaning products.) If you are lucky, your local Walmart has the new M&M’s Candy Corn White Chocolate Candies. Sadly, my Walmart isn’t quite as well stocked as some others, so I had to settle for fall color M&M’s. We checked out and head back home.

I immediately got the ingredients ready. M&M’s? Check. Mini pretzels? Check. Chocolate? Check and check. I prepared the cookie sheet by putting down a sheet of wax paper, then added all the mix-ins onto the sheet. I melted the chocolate in the microwave and then poured it over all of the mix-ins. Finally, top with more M&M’s and cool sprinkles.

The result? Decadent and delicious Barkin’ Good Halloween Bars packed with all of the best goodies. I know it’s packed with things we should be “trying” to cut back on, but seriously…something that tastes this awesome is meant to be eaten and enjoyed!

Barkin’ Good M&M’s Halloween Bark
Ingredients:
2 cups M&M’s (try the M&M’s Candy Corn White Chocolate!)
1 cup of mini pretzels, crushed

Sprinkles

Directions:

1. Line a 13″ x 9″ cookie sheet with wax paper.
2. Crush pretzels and Oreos.

5. Pour melted chocolate over the mix-ins on the cookie sheet. Use spatula to spread the chocolate evenly.
6. Top with the rest of your M&M’s and the sprinkles.
