TIPS AND FAQS

You can store this bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one month. 

This Candy Corn Rolo bark recipe is very flexible.   You can use milk or dark chocolate, and any type of candy that you prefer. 

One of my favorite twists on this recipe is to use Reese’s peanut butter cups in place of the Rolo’s.  Our family loves peanut butter! 

While you are building your bark on your sheet pan, pay attention to gaps or holes in your bark.  Use the ingredients to fill in those spaces so that all of your chocolate is covered with the other ingredients to the bark.
