Alright so… bare with me here. I know that chocolate isn’t the most healthy thing out there but, Halloween is just around the corner and as I like to say ‘everything in moderation’. Plus, we’re using some dark chocolate here so… that’s more healthy than other options, right? The truth is, I’m a firm believer in allowing yourself some treats here and there to keep yourself sane and from making worse decisions later.

So to make this bark a little more guilt-free, I decided to start it off with some dark chocolate. It’s my excuse for any kind of chocolate related candies or cakes. At least it has a few more health benefits than some of the other chocolates out there. That’s my story at least, and I’m sticking to it.

With that dark chocolate, we’re adding just a touch of red velvet cake mix. Why? To get that red velvet cake taste in there, of course!

After that, I made a layer of equal value in white chocolate. Good stuff, right? This layer is just that. White chocolate. It’s going to make our red chocolate pop and look more… hm… festive. Over the white chocolate, I gave a good spatter of red chocolate. You’ll want to use the red candy melts for this! DO NOT attempt to color white chocolate with traditional liquid food coloring.

On top of our red ‘blood’ spatters, I threw on some cute ‘bloody’ skeleton bones that I’ve been holding onto for a while now. This was the perfect excuse to use them! Upon further inspection, it looks like there’s some brains in there too.

All-in-all I think this Halloween Red Velvet Chocolate Bark turned out pretty stinkin’ cute!
