Tip
Make mini chocolate bark with any spare chocolate and eggs you might have. Add chocolate blobs to parchment paper, top with a chocolate egg, and allow to set. Great for bite-sized snacking.
Easter Bark Ingredients
- Dark chocolate: I like to use one with 55% cocoa solids, but choose your favorite dark, milk, or white chocolate.
- White chocolate: For the ears. Take extra care when melting white chocolate so it doesn’t burn.
- Chocolate eggs: Use two different sizes in assorted colors for the best results. Cadbury mini eggs or similar are perfect for the smaller size.
- Candy eyes: Adds the finishing touches. You can omit or make your own (see FAQs). Find candy eyes in the baking aisle at larger supermarkets.
Recipe Tip
Outline the chocolate bark with chocolate pearls or round sprinkles.
How to Make Easter Bark
- Shape the chocolate base: Melt the chocolate, fill a piping tip or bag, and pipe the chocolate bark.
- Add the eggs: Working inside out, arrange the chocolate eggs onto the bark. First, the mini eggs, then a row of larger eggs, and then the mini eggs again.
- Final details: Pipe the white chocolate ears and top them with the bark. Add the eyes and nose details. Allow to set.
Possible Variations
- Chocolate: Use any kind of chocolate you prefer, plain or flavored.
- Chocolate eggs: Arrange them as I have, or place them randomly.
- Toppings: Swap chocolate eggs for pretzels, M&M’s, jelly beans, and more of your favorite Easter candies.
- Sprinkles: Add any bright or Easter-themed pastel sprinkles (available at craft stores).
- Base: Crushed graham crackers, cookies, wafers, or matzo crackers make a delicious base if you’d like to add crunch. Arrange a single layer on parchment or wax paper, then pipe the chocolate bark on top.
- Presentation: Instead of a wreath, shape the bark like a whole easter bunny, with a round head and round body.
- Size: Make mini versions to top onto cupcakes and other desserts.
How to Store Leftovers
Keep leftovers in an airtight container on your kitchen counter, or in the fridge if it’s warm where you are. Enjoy within 4-5 days.
