Candy Corn Pretzel Bark: For The Sweet & Salty Candy Corn Lovers

You’re either Team Candy Corn In My Mouth or In The Trash, and since I’m the former, you can find this bark happening in my kitchen at least once a season. There’s always an extra bag of candy corn in the pantry that my family and I are constantly snacking from, too. Big big fans here.

This sweet, salty, chewy, and crunchy bark is a quick and delicious way to use up leftover Halloween candy corn (or a way to feature it if you are a fellow candy corn lover). The addition of pretzels give this bark that irresistible sweet-and-salty twist many of us look for in a snack.

Here’s the thing, though: this is one of those “recipes” that barely feels like a recipe (kind of like my 3-ingredient blackberry butter). I originally made this recipe back in 2014 after realizing I had extra pretzels and candy corn hanging around from my pumpkin peanut butter pretzel bites, and it turned out too good not to share.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

All you need for this bark is candy corn, pretzels, and white chocolate. From there, you can dress it up however you like: toss on Halloween Oreos, fall/Halloween sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or any other candy that’s haunting your pantry (and don’t miss these candy bar blondies). Not into white chocolate? Swap it for milk or dark instead.

This bark is customizable, forgiving, and really just a vehicle for the good stuff (the candy corn, duh).

HOW TO MAKE THIS EASY BARK

I can’t emphasize how simple this is. If you’ve ever made bark, you know it, too.

Prep the mix-ins: chop or break up the pretzels (using your hands) and chop the candy corn if you’d like smaller bites. It’s sticky, so don’t stress if it looks messy. Messy still tastes amazing (the important part)!

Melt the chocolate: white chocolate can be finicky. If it seizes or clumps, don’t panic. Spread it into a foil-lined baking pan anyway– it’ll still set just fine. Using a chopped up bar instead of white chocolate chips usually melts smoother, so if you’re using chips, you can add a teaspoon of shortening to help keep things smooth.

Assemble the bark: pour and spread the melted chocolate into your pan, then top it with the pretzels and candy corn. Press everything gently into the chocolate. Wax or parchment paper helps keep things tidy, but you can use your hands, too.

Cool/chill and break: allow the bark to set at room temperature or pop the pan in the fridge for about 10 minutes to set. Once the bark is firm, lift it out using the foil overhang and break it into pieces– big, small, jagged, whatever you’re feeling.

And in all honesty, the lumpier and jaggier, the better! We aren’t going for most beautiful dessert here. That’s a completely different animal.

That’s it. It’s that simple.

This candy corn bark with pretzels is crunchy, chewy, sweet, and salty– all the best Halloween textures in one bite. Plus, it’s a great excuse to use up that bag (or five) of candy corn sitting on your counter. See? Candy corn can be delicious, and most definitely does not belong in the trash.
