Prep and Cook Time
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes (plus 20 minutes for chilling)

Instructions
Melt the Chocolate
- Prepare the Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside. - Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate or candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can seize up.
Assemble the Bark
- Spread the Chocolate
Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, using a spatula to spread it into an even layer about ¼-inch thick. - Add the Toppings
While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle the marshmallows, pretzel pieces, Easter M&Ms, and shredded coconut (if using) evenly over the top. Finish with a generous sprinkling of pastel-colored sprinkles for that festive Easter look.
Chill and Break
- Chill the Bark
Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for about 20 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set. - Break into Pieces
Once the chocolate is firm, remove the baking sheet from the fridge. Use your hands or a knife to break the bark into irregular pieces.
Serve and Enjoy

Arrange the Easter Bark pieces on a platter or wrap them in cellophane bags for a sweet, homemade Easter gift. Enjoy!
