Recipe FAQS
I've tested this candy recipe many times and didn't add anything to make the candy harden. If you use white chocolate chips it should work perfectly. If you want to add a teaspoon of coconut oil, that would add a little flavor and help harden the bark as well.
Wrap leftover bark in plastic or place it in an air tight container. Store it in a cool, dry place for up to 1 week. If it gets warm, it will melt.
Absolutely! Pumpkin pie spice is mostly made from cinnamon anyway. But, cinnamon is much stronger, so use just a little and taste it before you add more.
Serving Suggestions
If you've ever been one of those people who love to break things into pieces, you're gonna love serving this candy. Just crack the bark into any size you want. Scatter it around, and dessert is served!
This is a great recipe to make with kids because they can be as creative as they wish. Try throwing dried fruits on top like apricots or cranberries. You can leave out the nuts, or throw in some crushed chocolate pieces for a different twist.
It's also nice to stack pumpkin spice bark in a little bag tied with string and give it as a hostess gift at your next party.
Happy Pumpkin Spice season!

Looks so good!
Thanks, Carol! It's a pumpkin spice extravaganza!
Crunchiness, coconut, and pumpkin. So perfect for fall!
It's pretty yummy! 🙂
My white chips are sooo thick I can't stir them with the spoon. I added the coconut and had a hard time spreading on the parchment. What did I do wrong?
Hi Laura. If your white chips were that thick, they needed to be heated longer in the microwave. I heat them up in 30 second intervals until they are a good spreading consistency. Heating them too long can also cause them to get thick as well. Try adding a little milk next time if they get too thick. Sorry you had that trouble!
Hoping I can find keto white chocolate. This would make a great low carb treat with unsweetened coconut.
Oooh, great idea Tina! If you find some, let me know! 🙂
