Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the pan by lining an 8-inch or 9-inch square pan with parchment paper, ensuring it hangs over the edges.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, chocolate chips, and salt, then microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
If using multiple colors of candy melts, place each in separate bowls and heat for 20 to 30 seconds, stirring until fully melted.
Cut the mini Kit Kat bars into smaller pieces and set aside for later addition to the mixture.
Once cooled, combine the melted chocolate mixture with the roasted peanuts and chopped Kit Kat pieces, stirring gently.
Add the marshmallows last to prevent melting, gently folding them into the mixture until well combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly and dolloping melted candy melts throughout for marbling.
Mark the cut lines with a knife on the surface for future slicing, either 5x5 or 4x4 sections.
Press gummy worms onto the surface, avoiding marked cut lines for better adherence after cutting.
Sprinkle M&Ms and candy eyes around the gummy worms, followed by Halloween sprinkles on top.
Chill the decorated pan in the refrigerator until firm, preferably overnight.
Carefully remove from the pan, cut along marked lines, and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
