How to Make Easter Bark
You will love making this white chocolate bark because it is such an easy recipe.
Fit a 9x13 baking sheet with parchment paper to the edge (or a silicone mat).
Melt white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl using 30-second intervals. Mix chocolate well with a spatula or spoon and repeat (note: this recipe took 5 30-second increments).
Spread an even thin layer of melted white chocolate onto baking sheet (note: do not worry about going right to the edges).
Add any toppings; here we used pastel M&Ms and about pastel sprinkles, but you can use your holiday favorites.
Allow the chocolate to set on the counter for at least 3 hours or in the fridge for 1 hour.
Break bark up by hand or using a sharp knife into large and small pieces.
Hint: Use short 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring in between, to avoid burning the chocolate. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler and a heatproof bowl to melt down your chocolate.
