Equipment

  • 10x15” Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Microwave Safe Bowl
  • Medium Saucepan
  • Offset Spatula

Ingredients

  • 22 ounces chocolate wafers dark or semi-sweet
  • mini eggs as desired
  • M&M’s as desired
  • Easter sprinkles as desired

Instructions

  • Line a 10x15 baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Add chocolate to a medium bowl and place over a saucepan with about 2 inches of water. Bring to a low boil stirring regularly once the chocolate starts to melt.
  • Once the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, carefully remove the bowl from the heat (I like it place it on a kitchen towel to dry off the bottom), then carefully pour on to the parchment paper and spread evenly.
  • Sprinkle with as much candy as desired, then chill in the fridge until set, about 30 minutes.
  • Chop or break apart and enjoy.

Notes

  • Candy Placement: Add toppings soon after spreading your chocolate so they stick in nicely. For treats that are lighter you can press in gently.
  • Thickness: Spread the chocolate evenly for clean breaks once chilled.
  • Setting: Let the bark fully set before breaking to avoid smudging.
  • Easter Gifts: Package up a few pieces of bark in cello bags, tied with a name tag for a fun surprise.
  • Melt Slow: Gentle heat to avoids scorching the chocolate.
  • Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Place pieces of parchment between and ensure the area is cool so they do not sweat.
  • Refrigerator: Keeps well chilled for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
  • Freezer: Freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
