Spider Web Chocolate Bark Recipe

This fun and spooky Spider Web Chocolate Bark is perfect for Halloween or any occasion where you want a playful twist on your usual chocolate treats! It features a dark and white chocolate base, decorated with a spider web design and plastic or chocolate spiders for a creepy effect.


Ingredients:

  • 8 oz dark chocolate (or semi-sweet chocolate)
  • 8 oz white chocolate
  • 1/4 cup mini candy spiders (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp coconut oil (for smoothness, optional)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Baking Sheet:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

2. Melt the Dark Chocolate:

  • Break the dark chocolate into pieces. Melt it in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and completely melted.

3. Melt the White Chocolate:

  • In a separate bowl, melt the white chocolate in the same way, either using the double boiler method or microwave. Add a small amount of coconut oil to the white chocolate if you want a smoother consistency.

4. Create the Base:

  • Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into a thin, even layer using a spatula. Let it cool for a few minutes to set slightly but still be tacky.

5. Drizzle the White Chocolate:

  • Once the dark chocolate layer has cooled and set a bit, drizzle the melted white chocolate over it in thin lines. You can either randomly drizzle it or create a circular spiral pattern for a spider web design.

6. Create the Spider Web Effect:

  • Using a toothpick or the tip of a knife, drag it through the white chocolate lines to create a spider web pattern. Start from the center and work your way outward, drawing lines through the white chocolate in a radial pattern to form the web.

7. Add the Spiders (Optional):

  • If you're using candy spiders, gently press them into the center of the web or randomly place them on the bark.

8. Set the Chocolate:

  • Let the chocolate bark cool and set completely in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until it's fully hardened.

9. Break into Pieces:

  • Once the bark has set, break it into pieces by hand or cut it into squares using a sharp knife.

Storage:

  • Store the Spider Web Chocolate Bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Chocolate Variations: Feel free to use milk chocolate, white chocolate, or even a combination for the base instead of just dark chocolate.
  • Spooky Touches: To make it even more festive, you can add Halloween-themed candies, like orange and black sprinkles, or top with little gummy worms for an extra spooky touch.
  • Vegan Option: Use dairy-free chocolate and ensure your candy spiders are also vegan (or skip them entirely).

This Spider Web Chocolate Bark is a fun and easy Halloween treat that's sure to impress kids and adults alike with its spooky design and delicious chocolate flavors!
