How to make Easter Chocolate bark
- Step 1. Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Step 2. Melt the chocolate chips by placing them in a microwave safe bowl.
Step 3. Heat in the microwave using 20 second intervals, stirring between each interval until chips are completely melted.
Step 4. Continue the same process with the white chocolate chips and each color of the candy melts. Stir some of the melted white chocolate into each bowl of the candy melts to make the colors pastel.ย ย
Step 5. Pour the chocolate onto the baking sheet and use a spatula to spread the chocolate out as evenly as possible.
Step 6. Drop dollops of each color of the candy melts on top of the milk chocolate.
Step 7. Use the tip of a butter knife to swirl the melted candy melts to get the marble effect. Be careful to not over swirl.
Step 8. Finally, add the M&Ms and the sprinkles. Place the bark in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes to harden.
Step 9. Remove the bark from the refrigerator. Then break bark into pieces to serve.
Storage
Refrigerate any leftover bark in an airtight container for up to 1 week. This bark is great to make ahead of the holidays since it will last for up to a week in the refrigerator.
You can also freeze this homemade bark in a freezer bag for up to 5-6 months. This bark freezes great as long as it’s stored correctly.
Pro Tips
- Don’t over swirl the chocolate. You do not want the colors to be over combined.
- Allow to set. Don’t break into pieces too soon or it will be messy. It needs to refrigerate.
- Try new toppings. We also like chocolate eggs, cadbury mini eggs, sprinkles, mini marshmallows and more.
