The Magic of Making It

Step-by-Step Guide to Easter Bliss
- Melt Your Chocolate: You can do this in a double boiler or in the microwave. If you’re going to microwave, just remember to stir every 30 seconds to avoid scorching.
- Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Line it with parchment paper for easy removal later. No one likes to chisel chocolate off a pan.
- Spread It Out: Pour your melted chocolate onto the baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer. How thick you make it is totally up to you.
- Candy Time: While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle your chosen candies over the top. This is a great time to get creative and make it look as festive as possible.
- Cool Down: Let your chocolate masterpiece set in the refrigerator. This usually takes about an hour, but who’s counting?
- Break It Up: Once set, break your bark into pieces. There’s no right or wrong way to do this. Just have fun with it!
- Enjoy: That’s it! Your Easter Egg Chocolate Bark is ready to be devoured.
Why It’s a Must-Try
Aside from being ridiculously easy to make, this Easter treat is also incredibly versatile. Not a fan of dark chocolate? Go for white. Have leftover Easter candies? Throw them in! Plus, it’s a great activity to do with the kids, turning treat-making into a fun family affair.
So there you have it—a no-fuss, all-fun Easter treat that’s guaranteed to sweeten up your holiday. Whether you’re making it for a family gathering, as a gift for friends, or just to indulge your own sweet tooth, Easter Egg Chocolate Bark is a colorful, festive, and downright delicious choice.
