You won’t believe how easy this bloody Halloween bones bark is to make and how good it will look on your Halloween buffet or given out in treat bags at Halloween parties.

You only need 5 ingredients to make this delicious Bloody Bones Bark. And, in case you’re wondering, you can use shortening in place of the lard. It won’t make the candy any healthier, but lard can be hard to find in some stores.

• Vanilla Candiquik – or use white candy melts or vanilla almond bark. This will be the base of the bark.
• White Chocolate Chips – or simply use extra candiquik. This will be thinned and splatted on the bark.
• Red Food Coloring
• Lard – or coconut oil, to thin the melted candy.
• Bone Sprinkles – optional, fun addition. You can order them on Amazon.

How to Make Blood-Splattered Bark

This section shows you how to make the recipe with step-by-step photos and instructions. For the full printable recipe, see the recipe card below. 

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 coconut oil or 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 melted candy is still wet, add some of the bloody bone sprinkles. Press them down slightly to help them stick to the candy.
