This easy candy corn bark with white chocolate is a crunchy, creamy, and sweet fall treat that takes about 15 minutes of active work. It’s the perfect balance of texture and flavor, and it’s practically foolproof.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces white chocolate chips or melting wafers (recommended: Ghirardelli)
  • 1 cup candy corn (recommended: Brach’s)
  • 1/2 cup pretzel sticks, broken into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons fall-themed sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat, letting the paper hang over the edges for easy removal.
  2. Place the white chocolate chips or wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until mostly melted (about 1 minute 30 seconds). Stir until completely smooth and glossy.
  3. Pour the melted white chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it into an even layer about 1/4-inch thick, forming a rough rectangle.
  4. Let the chocolate sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes until tacky but not fully set.
  5. Sprinkle the candy corn evenly over the tacky chocolate, then scatter the broken pretzel pieces on top. Add the fall sprinkles if using. Gently press down with your fingers to adhere.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely firm. (Alternatively, freeze for 15 minutes.)
  7. Once set, lift the parchment paper out of the baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to cut the bark into irregular pieces, or break it with your hands.

Notes

For the best texture, let the chocolate set slightly before adding toppings to prevent sinking. Use good-quality white chocolate (like Ghirardelli) for a smooth melt and clean snap. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Do not freeze.
