Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz (450g) white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 1 ½ cups (225g) candy corn
- 1 ½ cups (about 150g) crushed shortbread or butter cookies
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or coconut oil (optional)
- Flaky sea salt for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Line a 9×13-inch baking pan or sheet pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper comes up the sides for easy removal.
- Place shortbread cookies in a Ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin or heavy measuring cup to a mix of fine crumbs and small chunks.
- Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring well after each interval, until smooth. Stir in vegetable oil if using.
- Pour crushed cookies into melted white chocolate and fold with a rubber spatula until evenly coated.
- Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer about ¼ inch thick.
- Gently press candy corn into the top of the warm chocolate mixture in a single layer, evenly spaced.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until completely firm and solid.
- Lift the bark out of the pan using the parchment paper and break into rustic pieces or cut into squares with a sharp knife.
Notes
Use fresh, soft candy corn for best results. Avoid overheating white chocolate to prevent seizing. For a saltier version, replace half the cookies with crushed pretzels. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
