There's nothing like the last minute to decide you want to get in on the silly side of Easter. Candy making, egg dying, and basket preparing are all underway around here. I saw a picture on instagram (here's some on pinterest) of Easter Bark and it was SO cute. I had to try. I've been making Peppermint Bark and Reindeer Food/ChristmasWhite Trash (warning: don't google "white trash") for Christmas for several years now and so it was a total light bulb moment (duh!). I can totally do that for any occasion. So, while this is definitely not my original idea (props to who ever came up with this) I can certainly make it!
I did this at about 11pm on Thursday Night - so my photos are not great.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 Packages White Almond Bark/Candy Coating /White Chocolate Melts
- Wax Paper
- 1 Bag Bunny Blend M&M's
- 1 Bag Easter Candy Corn
- you can use any candy you'd like just choose the colors you'd like
- 1 Bag Thin Stick Pretzels
- Food Coloring (or you can use colored Candy Melts - my Kroger was out)
- Sprinkles
METHOD ONE:
- Spread wax paper on counter top/table (chocolate will be hot when poured so you may want to us a cloth under wax if on wood)
- Melt Almond Bark according to package instructions
- Add 1 small drop of food coloring (I used green and pink)
- Stir well
- Pour onto wax paper saving a small portion
- Use a large spoon or rubber spatula to spread thin
- While still hot sprinkle in candies and sprinkles
- Reheat small portion so that it will pour easily
- Pour using a zig zag pattern on top of candy (optional)
- Let harden about 15 -20 minutes depending on how thin
- Break into pieces .................. Enjoy!
METHOD TWO:
- Spread wax paper on counter top/table (chocolate will be hot when poured so you may want to us a cloth under wax if on wood)
- Melt Almond Bark according to package instructions
- Add 1 small drop of food coloring (I used green and pink)
- Stir well
- Add apprx. 2 cups pretzels, fold in until well covered
- Add candy, fold in until coated fairly well
- Pour or spoon out onto wax paper and spread with back of spoon or rubber spatula
- Add more candy or sprinkles on top if desired
- Let harden
- Break Apart
If you are looking for an easy addition to a party or holiday dinner you can really use bark for any occasion! It's easier than cookies!
Happy Easter Weekend!
Ooh, I have seen this kind of thing a few times in the past couple days and out of all the ones that I've seen this definitely looks the tastiest! Also I am totally jealous that you can even get that much light, I can barely get half of that!
