Ingredients

To create this beautiful Easter Bark, you’ll need just a handful of ingredients:

  • 16 oz white chocolate or candy melts
  • ½ cup pastel-colored sprinkles
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup mini pretzels, broken into pieces
  • 1 cup Easter M&Ms or other pastel-colored candies
  • ¼ cup shredded coconut (optional, for a tropical twist)

Serving Size

Serves: 10–12
Serving Size: About 1–2 pieces per person

Prep and Cook Time

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes (plus 20 minutes for chilling)
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Instructions

Melt the Chocolate

  1. Prepare the Baking Sheet
    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  2. 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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

  1. Chill the Bark
    Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for about 20 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
  2. 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

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