Makes about 2 pounds or 30 two-inch pieces
  • PREP: 20 minutes
  • TOTAL: 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 3 2.1-ounce Butterfinger candy bars, cut into irregular 1-inch pieces
  • 3 1.4-ounce Skor or Heath toffee candy bars, cut into irregular 3/4-inch pieces

  • 1/4 cup honey-roasted peanuts

  • Reese’s Pieces and/or yellow and orange peanut M&M’s

Preparation

  • Line baking sheet with foil. Stir chocolate chips in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until melted and warm (not hot) to touch. Pour chocolate onto foil; spread to 1/4-inch thickness (about 12×10-inch rectangle). Sprinkle with Butterfinger candy, toffee, peanut butter cups, and nuts, making sure all pieces touch melted chocolate to adhere.
  • Put white chocolate in heavy small saucepan. Stir constantly over very low heat until chocolate is melted and warm (not hot) to touch. Remove from heat. Dip spoon into chocolate; wave from side to side over bark, creating zigzag lines. Scatter Reese’s Pieces and M&M’s over, making sure candy touches melted chocolate.

Reasons why I chose this meal

    Since Halloween is coming later on this month, i thought why not make some special food that will correspond to the festival. Personally I love candy, and like me, my family is also a huge fan of all kinds of candies. Since we’re living in Taiwan, we don’t really have the chance to go out on the street and go tick-or-treating, but we can still have fun by making our own candies. Before i saw this wonderful sweet, I was still considering which one of the dish would be best for our family, but as soon as i saw the Peanut Butter And Toffee Candy Bark, I know that this is the one. It makes me hungry just by looking at it. I’m going to try and make it with my family this Halloween, and I hope it tastes as good as it looks.
