Ingredients

10 oreos
12 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
12 to 15 Chocolate covered almonds
5 to 6 mini pretzels
30 to 40 candy eyeballs
2 tablespoons white chocolate chips

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Crush oreos into a fine powder using a mini food processor or any dry grinder.
Add chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each one. Make sure you don't overdo it. The chocolate is done when it’s about 90% melted. Remove from microwave, keep stirring until completely melted.
Tip: Alternately, you can melt it in a heat-proof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water.
Spread melted chocolate evenly over the center area of the parchment paper and spread to about ¼-inch thickness.
Scatter crushed oreos on the melted chocolate, pressing gently to adhere
Tip: Make sure that you don't cover it completely. We want empty spots to stick the candy eyeballs and chocolate almonds.
Place candy eyeballs and chocolate covered almonds on the melted chocolate , pressing into the chocolate so that it sticks well.
Stick broken pretzel pieces for tails (refer photos), on the wider end of the almond.
Place white chocolate in a small microwave safe bowl and microwave for 25 to 50 seconds, stirring every 20 seconds, until completely melted.
Spoon melted white chocolate into a quart-size zip lock bag, seal and snip the corner (to make a tiny hole). Pipe eyes on the pointed ends of the chocolate almonds.
Place the baking pan in the refrigerator to harden. Once the chocolate is completely hardened, use your hands to break it into large pieces. Serve immediately, or cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Pro tip: I like the break into larger pieces for a more visual appeal.

Notes

Adjust the recipe – Use this as a guide. Use as many eyes and mice that you like.

Store bark in the refrigerator.

I like to avoid colored Oreo cookies such as red velvet, peanut butter, birthday cake, golden thins or carrot cake. This ensures that the color of the Halloween bark remains unchanged and true to its spooky theme.
