Boneyard Bark

This last minute, easy, Halloween treat is sure to delight even the smallest ghouls and goblins.

For the pretzel bones:
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/4 tsp coconut oil
Thin pretzel sticks
Mini marshmallows

Melt the white chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave. Heat for 30 seconds and then 10 seconds at a time, stopping and mixing after each 10-second burst, until melted.

Line a cookie sheet with a piece of parchment paper and clean out space in your fridge to chill the bones.

Cut the pretzel sticks and mini marshmallows in half.

Dip one end of the 1/2 pretzel stick into the melted chocolate and carefully stick two of the 1/2 marshmallows onto the chocolate and hold for a few seconds to set. Repeat on the other side of the pretzel stick.

Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.

Reheat your chocolate slightly (for about 5 seconds) and stir.

Dip the whole pretzel and marshmallow bone into the white chocolate with a fork and gently tap on the side of your bowl to let the extra chocolate drip off. Place back on the parchment sheet and return to the fridge and chill for 10-15 minutes.

For the ribs and skeleton bones:
Yogurt covered pretzels (whatever you think you'll need and then extras because they break in the cutting)

Saw the yogurt pretzels in half with a sharp knife and take off a little bit of the middle nubbin that's left between the pretzel's two arches. These arches will be the ribs. The bottom half of the pretzel can be the pelvis and any pieces that break off (and lots will, don't worry about it) can be used to make the arms or legs.

Set aside the cut pretzels.

For the bark:
2 cups chocolate chips (any combination of semi-sweet, milk, and dark chocolate)
1 tsp coconut oil
Candy eyes (optional)
Candy bones (optional)

Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave, stirring after each 10-second burst until everything is melted.

Gather your toppings.

Pour the melted chocolate onto a fresh piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet and spread into a thin layer (but not too thin). Place your pretzel bones, pretzel ribs, candy eyes, and candy bones onto the warm chocolate. Once you’re satisfied with your arrangement, chill for at least an hour in the fridge.
