Ingredients Needed
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips – You could also dark chocolate or milk chocolate.
- White chocolate chips – You could also use white candy melts or almond bark.
- 1 drop Food dye, colors of choice (pastel food dye if possible)
- Easter M&M’s – I used the pastel m&m candies.
- Mini Chocolate eggs – I used the cookies and cream eggs but you can also use the Cadbury mini eggs or the malted robin eggs.
How To Make Easter Bark
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (or wax paper).
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in your saucepan, about 4-6 minutes on low heat or melt in your microwave in 30-second intervals in a heatproof bowl. You could also melt in a double boiler.
Spread the melted chocolate out on your parchment lined baking sheet into a thin layer using an offset spatula (or use a butter knife), then set the cookie sheet in the fridge for about 45 minutes to harden.
Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler, saucepan, or a microwave-safe bowl then remove from the heat and pour on top of the chocolate layer.
Add 3 drops of food dye, one at the top, one in the middle, and one towards the bottom. Then quickly, and gently, spread the melted white chocolate out over the semi-sweet chocolate.
Add the candy toppings and let set in the fridge for a few minutes to let the white chocolate finish hardening.
Cut or break up the bark into smaller pieces with your hands and enjoy!
Recipe Variations
- Add sprinkles – You can also add some fun pastel sprinkles for a pop of color!
- Add mini marshmallows for extra sweetness.
- Try add jelly beans for a little color and chewiness.
- If you want brighter colors, melt the white chocolate in three separate microwave-safe bowls and add the dye to the bowls then pour the melted chocolate onto the candy bark.
- Add pretzels for a salty and sweet crunch.
Storage Instructions
Store in the fridge in airtight container for up to 1 week. It can most likely last longer, up to 2 weeks. If you add toppings that can get soft, such as pretzels then I would consume the bark within a week.
You can also freeze this chocolate bark for up to 3 months.
Recipe FAQs
I prefer to keep the bark in the refrigerator so I don’t end up with melted chocolate or melted candy!
No. This is totally optional and can be left out.
If you prefer to swirl the dark and white chocolate melt the chocolates at the same time. Pour the dark chocolate on then white chocolate on and use a toothpick to swirl.
