Ingredients

  • 12-16 whole chocolate graham crackers or regular graham crackers
  • 1 (12-ounce) package dark cocoa candy melts
  • 1 cup white candy melts
  • red jumbo nonpareils optional, to taste, for topping

Directions

  • Lay the graham crackers in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Break the graham crackers as needed to fit.
  • In separate medium microwave-safe bowls, melt the dark cocoa melts and the white candy melts in the microwave according to package directions.
  • Pour the melted dark cocoa candy melts over the graham crackers, spreading it into an even layer using the back of a spoon or an offset spatula.
  • Working quickly, spoon the melted white candy melts into a plastic bag and cut the corner off the bag.
  • Pipe 4-5 concentric circles in one corner of the dark cocoa layer.
  • Drag a toothpick from the innermost circle to the outermost circle in several places, creating a spiderweb design.
  • Repeat, continuing to work quickly so the melts do not harden, until the bark is covered in spiderweb patterns.
  • Top the bark with the nonpareils while still wet.
  • Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes.
  • Break into pieces and serve.
