Fall is my favorite. And Fall means Halloween. And chocolate. And pretty colors on the trees. And most of all, Fall means candy corn. Does anyone eat it at any other time of year? Do they even sell it the other months of the year?

Boo.

Halloween chocolate bark is fun for kids and adults!

• Reese's Pieces and candy corn make for perfect Halloween colors.
• Kids can help decorate.
• The combo of peanuts and candy corn will remind you of a Payday candy bar!
• This chocolate bark keeps in the fridge for a week or more, so it's a great make ahead idea.

Ingredients you'll need

• Chocolate chips: I like bittersweet the best, but for the kids you might want to use semi sweet or even milk chocolate.
• Reeses pieces, candy corn, peanuts: You can really use any of your favorite Halloween candy and nuts on these. The candy corn and peanut combo tastes like a Butterfinger to amp up the nostalgia.

How to make Halloween candy bark

This is one of those fun Halloween recipes that the kids can help with. What kid doesn't love homemade candy? They will have fun adding the toppings to the bark before the chocolate sets.

Step 1: Melt the chocolate

Melt the chocolate in a bowl over simmering water.

Step 2: Spread out the chocolate

Spread onto sheet pan lined with foil

Step 3: Add candies and nuts

Add candies of your choice - I barely press them down with my hands just to be sure they stick

Step 4: Chill!

Place in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.

Remove from refrigerator and let stand for about 5 minutes and break into pieces.

Store in refrigerator.

Try different toppings for your Halloween chocolate bark!

• Pretzels or potato chips make for a salty, crunch bite
• Swap out the peanuts for walnuts or pistachios
