HALLOWEEN CAN'T LEAVE ALONE BARS
From a cake mix! Easy and impressive! This version of the recipe from Taste Of Homes' Cake Mix Creations, has slightly more specific instructions and added ingredients than another recipe posted here. I'm sure they taste just the same, but I wanted to get this tried and true recipe in for my own records. I've used this for HALLOWEEN and CHRISTMAS with different food colorings for either the crust or the top batter or both, and have left plain for everyday. Bonus: They freeze very well. I've also found that they need to be cut smaller than your average bar size as they're very rich.(and I love chocolate!)

Tips:
- Choose the right chocolate: Opt for high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% for a rich, decadent flavor.
- Temper your chocolate: This process ensures that the chocolate sets smoothly and has a glossy finish. You can temper chocolate using a microwave or a double boiler.
- Use a variety of fillings: Get creative with your fillings and experiment with different flavors and textures. Some popular options include caramel, peanut butter, nuts, and dried fruits.
- Chill your bars before cutting: This helps the chocolate to set properly and prevents it from crumbling or breaking.
- Decorate your bars: Give your bars a festive Halloween touch by decorating them with sprinkles, candy eyes, or Halloween-themed molds.
