Ingredients

  • 4 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips (optional, but was in the original recipe)
  • 1 / 2 cup Cadbury Mini Eggs
  • 1 / 2 cup Easter M&Ms
  • 1 / 2 cup M&M eggs
  • 1 / 4 cup sprinkles
  • 1 / 4 cup chocolate melts

Steps

  1. 1
    Prepare your work area. To do this, you'll need to line the baking sheet with parchment paper and bring over a clean bowl.
  2. 2
    Melt the milk chocolate chips . You can do this by either microwaving them or putting them in a double boiler. You'll want to make sure the chocolate chips end up smooth and fully melted.
    • If you are using a double boiler, be sure to stir the chocolate with a rubber spatula often.

  3. 3
    Pour the melted chocolate mixture onto the baking sheet. Make sure it's smoothed out to about a 1 / 4 -inch thickness.
  4. 4
    Work very quickly. As you work the chocolate, it will begin to cool and harden. Therefore, you will want to work quickly to ensure you can complete the remaining step prior to refrigerating the chocolate, otherwise it may become too hard to work with.
  5. 5
    Sprinkle the chocolate candies in random patterns across the chocolate.
    • Ensure the candies you use are dedicated to Easter colors similar to pastel and baby colors such as blue, pink, yellow, and Easter-white. Most of these candy colors can only be bought between Ash Wednesday and Easter, but that will differ depending on the retailer. (Some online merchants from popular places (such as Amazon) won't have that restriction.)
  6. 6
    Chill the candy in the refrigerator. Chill it there for at least one hour. However, a longer chilling period is better, meaning you may want to keep it in the fridge overnight if possible.
  7. 7
    Smash the chocolate "bar" into chip-size "bark". You'll want to create chip-like pieces that can be served and eaten, making bark-like pieces that look like tree bark.
    • The original recipe called for the use of the back of spoons, but it's likely you may also need to use a knife.
    • If a knife doesn't work, you may need to place a layer of parchment paper on top of the chocolate and use a hammer to break it.
    • Try not to break into the hardened candy put on the chocolate layer. Instead, cut or break around it.

      Tips

      • The original recipe called for white chocolate chips. These were also melted and placed on top of the chocolate then swirled into a zig-zag pattern using a bamboo skewer's tip with the milk chocolate. This is optional, but it can be a unique variation if you like white chocolate.
