After waking up from my Halloween sugar coma, I realized that I had an insane amount of candy in my house. Being the responsible semi-adult that I am, I wanted to repurpose my candy, so to speak. Naturally, the first question that popped into my mind was, what does Halloween candy go really well with? The obvious answer: chocolate. After all, who doesn’t like a little bit of chocolate with their chocolate? Add some festive sprinkles and some pretzels or nuts and BAM! You’ve just made yourself some tasty Halloween candy bark.
