Halloween is tomorrow! Are you excited? I’m normally never excited about Halloween, but this year is different. This year, I have a baby that I get to dress up in her super cute costume and show her around to the neighborhood. All of the holidays have had so much more meaning since our little nugget was born. Even 4th of July. My husband and I went out of our way to go buy a kids pool and let her splash around in a little patriotic swimsuit. My view on life and holidays has truly changed since she came along, all for the better.

Do you dress your family up for Halloween? My husband and I aren’t big on dressing up ourselves, but dressing up our daughter? Oh heck yea! I can’t wait to take pictures of her sweet self. We haven’t really shared what she’ll be with many people, but those that know us closely will get a good laugh out of it.

This candy corn bark is SO SIMPLE. If you need a recipe to take to a Halloween party that takes little to no effort, travels easily, and doesn’t require refrigeration, this is a great option. I choose to use dark chocolate for this recipe to balance out the sweetness of the candy corn, but you are more than welcome to use whatever chocolate you love. Dark, milk, white, all chocolate has a good opportunity to taste really great in this recipe. You can also change your choice of nuts or omit them completely. This recipe really is totally up to you! Get creative and make it YOU!
