Easter Chocolate Bark Recipe

It’s no secret how much I love chocolate bark and altering it to fit the holiday or occasion. With just a few simple ingredients and only a couple minutes, it’s such a quick and easy fun treat. And the possibilities are practically endless when you consider different mix-ins and colors. Today we’re celebrating Easter with some Easter Chocolate Bark featuring pink and purple, pretzel pieces, and pastel M&Ms candy.

Wedges of chocolate bark are perfect any time of year and make such a simple sweet treat for classroom parties. This also makes a wonderful edible gift – try stacking pieces between some parchment paper and tying them with a pink or purple ribbon!

(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for measurements and details.)

Vanilla candy melts
Pretzel sticks, broken into small pieces
Pastel colored M&Ms
Pink and purple food coloring

Recipe Variations

Replace the pretzels with chopped nuts, like almonds, or include both!
If you can find Easter-style sprinkles, a tablespoon of those scattered over the top would be so cute.

Candy Melts vs White Chocolate Chips

I prefer Wilton candy melts or Ghirardelli White Melting Wafers for making chocolate bark. As much as I love regular white chocolate chips, they are manufactured with additives to hold their shape, so they don’t melt as easily and also once hardened, the bark tends to soften at room temperature. If you prefer using regular white chocolate, I recommend combining it with some coconut oil, which will help thicken it up and harden faster. You’ll need about 1 tablespoon coconut oil per 1 cup of chocolate

How to Make Easter Chocolate Bark

Here’s a summary of the simple steps needed to make this Easter candy.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for measurements and details.)

Melt chocolate candy melts according to package directions until smooth and completely melted.
Spoon a few small scoops of the melted chocolate into two separate small bowls; mix pink food dye into one, purple dye into the other. Transfer to two separate small Ziploc bags; snip off a small corner.
Spread remaining melted white chocolate onto a lined baking sheet in a rectangular shape, 1/4-inch thick. Pipe both pink and purple colored chocolates onto the white chocolate; then cut through with a dull knife in a swirling pattern to create a marble looking effect.
Top with the pretzel pieces and M&Ms.
Chill until set and hardened, then break into pieces and enjoy!

Breaking it up into pieces

I like the rustic look of uneven pieces, so I simply break the bark up with my hands. But you can also cut the bark into perfect squares with straight edges, if you prefer. To do this, place the blade of a sharp knife in hot water for 30 seconds, then dry the blade and place it against the bark to score the sections. Allow the heat of the blade melt a line into the bark, then cut.

Proper Storage

Store chocolate bark in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 1 week, in the refrigerator for 2 weeks, or in the freezer for about 1 month.
