Ingredients

Bunny Bark:

  • Your favorite colorful Easter candies (peanut M&Ms, Reese’s Pieces, malted milk balls, Twix, and chocolate covered marshmallows work well.)
  • 20 ounces of white chocolate like Ghirardelli squares
  • Confetti sprinkles

Equipment:

  • Parchment paper
  • 9x11 inch baking pan
  • Cooking spray
  • Medium-sized glass bowl

Instructions

  1. Chop the Easter candy into small pieces.
  2. Line the baking pan with parchment paper.
  3. Spray a medium size microwave-safe bowl with cooking oil and add in white chocolate.
  4. Microwave in 30-second increments, and stir each time until chocolate is smooth.
  5. Pour melted chocolate onto parchment paper-lined pan and spread evenly.
  6. Quickly place chopped Easter candy in the white chocolate before it begins to harden. Don’t be afraid to really lay it on thick!
  7. Let the Easter Bunny Bark sit for at least 5 hours, or pop it in the fridge for an hour or so to harden.
  8. Once it’s completely hardened, cut it with a sharp knife and serve.
