Leftover Candy Chocolate Bark

Leftover Candy Chocolate Bark

Published October 13, 2026

Melted chocolate spread thin and loaded with chopped candy bars, candy-coated chocolates, pretzels and sprinkles.

Melt in short bursts and stir between each to avoid scorching. Use a mix of sizes; small pieces fill gaps and big ones look dramatic.

Keeps 2 weeks airtight in a cool place. Press toppings lightly so they stick once set.
