This easy Halloween treat starts with a base of graham crackers covered in melted green candy melts. Purple candy melts are swirled in for a marbled effect, then topped with candy eyeballs and sprinkles before chilling. Once set, break into pieces for a fun, crunchy snack.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Arrange whole graham crackers in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet, breaking them as needed to fill any gaps.
  2. In separate medium microwave-safe bowls, melt the green and purple candy melts in the microwave following the package instructions.
  3. Pour the melted green candy melts over the graham crackers and spread evenly with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. Quickly drop tablespoonfuls of purple candy melts about 2 inches apart over the green layer, then swirl with a toothpick to create a marbled pattern.
  4. While the bark is still wet, decorate with candy eyeballs, green sprinkles, and nonpareils. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes, then break into pieces.
