This Halloween Melting Witch Chocolate Bark is my secret weapon for Halloween parties. The first time I made it, it was for a school bake sale, and I had no idea the kids would go this wild for it. There’s something hilariously spooky about a “melted witch” in candy form—especially when it’s made with creamy green chocolate, mini chocolate chip eyes, and an adorable little hat crafted from Reese’s and Oreos. I still remember my niece giggling every time she took a bite, pretending she was eating a real witch!
This witch-themed dessert comes together in just 20 minutes, requires no baking, and packs that festive mix of crunchy, creamy, sweet, and salty in every bite. It’s perfect for Halloween candy boards or packaged as party favors for trick-or-treaters. My version delivers eye-catching Halloween colors, kid-approved flavors, and simple steps anyone can follow.

A Little Halloween History
Halloween candy bark has become a Pinterest-favorite treat in recent years thanks to how easy it is to customize with spooky flair.

This fun bark plays on that imagery, turning it into something tasty and kid-friendly.
Ingredients for Melting Witch Chocolate Bark
Main Ingredients
- 1 bag Wilton Candy Melts (vibrant green) – This gives the bark its spooky witchy skin color.
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips (divided) – Used for eyes and swirling magic.
- 8 pretzel sticks – These become the witch’s broomsticks.
- 8 mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups – For the base of the witch’s hat.
- 8 Halloween Oreos – Bright and colorful hat brims.
- 8 Hershey’s Hugs – Toppers for the witch hats.
Optional Add-Ins
- Purple or orange candy melts for extra swirl colors
- Candy eyeballs or edible glitter for a magical finish
- Crushed Oreos for a dirt-like base look
How to Make Melting Witch Chocolate Bark
Prep the Base
Lay a parchment paper sheet on a cookie tray. This is your bark canvas. Get all your candies and ingredients ready in bowls—speed is key once the chocolate is melted.
Tip: Have kids help you set up the candy assembly—it turns into a fun Halloween activity!
Melt and Swirl the Green Chocolate
Add 1 cup green candy melts to a small saucepan. Stir continuously over low heat until smooth. Spoon a circle (about 4 inches wide) onto parchment and spread with the back of the spoon.
Melt the remaining mini chocolate chips and add small dollops onto the green circles. Swirl gently using a toothpick to give a spell-casting effect.
Build the Witch Hat
Place a Halloween Oreo at the edge of the bark. Dip a Hershey’s Hug in melted chocolate and press it on top of the Oreo. Use two mini chips to create witchy eyes.
Add the Broom
Insert pretzel sticks into the sides of mini Reese’s to create little broomsticks. Place them diagonally across from the Oreo “hat” on each green circle.
Let everything set at room temperature until firm (about 15–20 minutes), then package or plate!
Pro Tips for Perfect Halloween Bark
- Don’t overheat the chocolate: Keep the heat low and stir constantly to avoid seizing.
- Prep everything first: Once the chocolate’s melted, you need to move fast.
- Use parchment paper: Wax paper can stick and ruin the look.
- Customize colors: Try purple or black candy melts for a darker Halloween look.
- Chill if needed: If your home is warm, pop the tray in the fridge to help it set.
Tasty Variations
Witch Hat Bark Only
Skip the broom and just use Oreos and Reese’s to make stacks of witch hats—great for goodie bags.
Monster Mash Bark
Swap the green chocolate for white or orange and decorate with candy eyes and gummy worms for a monster theme.
Spider Web Bark
Use black candy melts on white chocolate and swirl into web designs. Top with chocolate spiders or M&Ms.
