today is national recipe day, which is why i want to share with you this awesome-tacular recipe that i just discovered and now desperately want to try.  if you know me, you know that i love candy & chocolate & marshmallows & halloween [after all... i was married on halloween], and so why not put them all together into one glorious recipe?!!  i have the recipe here, but i will recommend following or at least reading the blog post and directions of the creator of this wonderful little treat.  it is a fantastic blog that i came across today on my quest for yummy things.  i am a sucker for food blogs, and this girl speaks my language.  can i have some now?  is it ready yet??

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Halloween Oreos, chopped
1/4 cup candy corn
1/4 cup Halloween Kit Kats, chopped
1/4 cup Fall colored Peanut Butter M&Ms
8 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips (I recommend Guittard or Ghiradelli semi sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips. I don’t recommend Nestle, it doesn’t dry very well and will still be soft the next day.)
8 ounces milk chocolate chips
4 ounces orange candy melts

20 graham cracker sheets
20 marshmallows


First make the candy bark:
Chop the Halloween Oreos and measure out 1/2 cup. Chop the Halloween Kit Kats and measure out 1/4 cup. Measure out the candy corn and the M&Ms. Set the candy aside.

Place a large piece of parchment paper down on the counter.

In a large microwavable bowl, melt the semi sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips together.
Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper. Spread it out into a 9 by 12 inch rectangle with a spatula.

Melt the orange candy melts in a small microwavable bowl.
Place drops of the melted candy in rows of three.
Using a knife, swirl the chocolate down and up and then back and forth.
I always go back and swirl the chocolate in different places where there aren’t many swirls.

Place the candy and cookies on top of the melted chocolate. Let the candy bark dry for at least 4 hours.

Once the candy bark has dried, chop it into about 20 pieces. Set the candy bark pieces aside.


For the s’mores:
These are the directions to make 20 s’mores at a time. Feel free to do however many you want at a time.

Break the 20 graham cracker sheets in half.
Place a piece of candy bark on 20 of the graham cracker pieces.

Take a baking sheet and line it with foil. Spray the foil with non stick spray.
Place the marshmallows on top of the foil. Put the baking sheet under the broiler until the marshmallows are toasted.

Put a toasted marshmallow on top of each candy bark piece.

Take the other graham cracker pieces and press them on top of the toasted marshmallows.

Enjoy!
