These chocolate monster bars are the perfect spooky-sweet treat for Summerween or a traditional Halloween party!
Whether you’re planning a Halloween bash, throwing a poolside Summerween get-together, or just looking for a fun edible craft for kids, these decorated bars are a total win.
They’re bright, playful, and way easier than they look—just grab some chocolate-covered bars and get decorating.
You can turn your favorite store-bought candy bars into little mummies, jack-o’-lanterns, or even Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Ingredients (Prep Time: 20 Minutes | Makes: 4 Decorated Bars)

Chocolate Monster Bars Instructions
1- Melt the white chocolate chips using a boiler. Tint one-third green using food coloring.
2- For the mummy: Place one bar on a board. Pipe two green eyes using the tinted chocolate, add chocolate chip pupils, then chill for 5 minutes.
3- Fill a piping bag with plain white chocolate. Outline the eyes, then add diagonal “bandage” stripes across the bar to finish the mummy.
4- Tint another portion of white chocolate orange. On the remaining 3 bars, outline Sally’s red hair, a jack-o’-lantern shape, and Frankenstein’s eyes. Use dark chocolate to fill in hair and pumpkin details. Chill.
5- Fill in the monster faces with colored chocolate. Add sugar eyes and draw stitches or scars with an edible marker. Chill before serving.
Pro Tips for Success
- Want a healthier version? Use chocolate-covered protein bars instead of candy.
- Plastic syringes (no needle!) or piping bags with fine tips work best for decorating details.
- Hosting a party? Set up a DIY decorating station and let kids or guests make their own “monster bars.”
- These store well—just refrigerate until ready to serve, especially for Summerween parties outside!
Whether you’re hosting a Halloween celebration in October or throwing a quirky Summerween bash in July, these chocolate monster bars totally fit the mood.
They’re festive, flexible, and so easy to customize. Plus, they bring a little creepy creativity to any seasonal table without a lot of work.
