Halloween Bones Bark Recipe

First, melt the Candiquik or Candy Melts in the microwave until smooth and free of lumps. Then, cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Pour the melted Candiquik onto the parchment paper and spread with a spoon. Allow to dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Next, melt ½ cup of white vanilla chips on the stove over medium heat. Stirring constantly. Add red food dye and a small amount of lard to the white vanilla chips. Continue to stir. Keep adding red food dye until your chips reach a dark red color. You will need to add more lard as the dye seizes up the chips. Once you’ve achieved the color of blood, remove the chips from the stove.

Dip a spoon into the “blood” and fling it onto the white bark. Keep doing this until you’ve reached your desired look.

While the “blood” is still wet, add some of the bloody bone sprinkles. If you are unable to find these exact sprinkles, any spooky bone sprinkles would look perfect!
