Last week, I made those Black Roses… I had to open two bags of black candy melts in my Wilton Pro Melter. I asked Mr. Quart what I should do with the extra candy. On the heels of the Booger Pop Tarts, he suggested I make Halloween Candy BARF. Yes, barf…
Thanks, Mr. Quart.
So… I used some of that black candy to make some Halloween BARK.
I could have added a ton of candy and pretzels, but I wanted to keep it simple, clean, and pretty.

All I did was pour out the black candy melts, then added some green and purple candy in a criss-cross pattern. Then I dragged a spatchula diagonally through the colors.
The addition of the black and silver dragees, I thought, made it a bit more classy.
Not quite so kiddie candy Halloween Bark.
And nowhere close to being Halloween Barf. You’re welcome.
