I’ve had this recipe book marked for quite some time. It’s so simple to make and you can customize it to your tastes or what you have on hand. You could use festive candies from any holiday as well.

I love the bright orange Oreo filling (yes, I realize there is something inherintly wrong with orange Oreo filling, but I’m ok with that).

I was a little unsure about the candy corn since I’m not a huge fan, but they provided a great textural change due to their softness. I also sprinkled some salt onto the candy melts because I love salty and sweet combos. I was worried that this stuff would be way too sweet without it.

Be sure to press your candy and cookie pieces into the top of the candy melt. I didn’t really press mine in and some of them didn’t stick. Either way this stuff is pretty awesome and dissappeared before I knew it.

Ingredients:

~20 halloween Oreos broken into various sized pieces, divided
1 1/2 cups mini pretzels
1 cup candy corn, divided
1 1/2 cups Reese’s Pieces
28 ounces (two bags) white chocolate candy melts

Directions:

Line a large cookie sheet with waxed paper. Spread 3/4 of cookies, pretzels, and 3/4 cup of the candy corn onto the waxed paper.

Place candy melts in a microwave safe measuring cup and heat in microwave at 50% power in 30 second intervals until completely melted.

Drop melted chocolate immediately over cookie mixture, spreading with an offset spatula to coat evenly. Top with reserved cookies, candy corn and Reese’s Pieces, working quickly before chocolate hardens.

Place into refrigerator until firm. Remove and gently break apart (or use a sharp knife to press into the cookie bark – it will break apart easily) into small pieces for serving. Store in airtight container.

Happy birthday! Today is my husband’s birthday, and he also requested a chocolate cake. I baked him Ina Garten’s Beatty’s chocolate cake. Your chocolate cake may be the one I bake for my birthday later this year. 🙂

and if i want to make this 9 x 13?any caveats? i never know if i can just change pan size and oven time/temp?
- beantownbaker — June 18th, 2013 @ 4:05 pm
  
  Two 9″ round pans is the same amount of cake batter as a 9×13 pan. I’d probably use the same temp and start checking around the same time. But I would expect it to take longer to bake in the end.

The cake turned out amazing and was a huge hit! Most of the kids weren’t a huge fan but i don’t think they have learned to appreciate dark chocolate 🙂

  Glad it was a success (for the adults!)
