Bunny Bark

This year I made a cute and colorful little treat of candy bark with melting chocolates and some Easter candy! It was pretty simple and would be a great activity to do with kids. I lay out the process below and give tips on what I would do differently next time- enjoy!

You'll need to start with your supplies of:

•  Candy Melts (I used white as my base + pink, blue & purple)

•  4 small bowls

•  4 spatulas or something to stir with

•  Parchment paper

•  A "drying surface" *

•  Toppings of your choice

*I decided to go with a baking sheet instead of the cutting board to avoid spill over

First, microwave your candy melts until they are nice and smooth. You'll want to do this in small increments- I started with about 1 minute and 30 seconds for the first round, then every round after that did only about 45 seconds at a time. Make sure to remove your bowls of candy melts from the microwave each time, stirring the coating chocolate around to avoid any hot spots- it's a pretty tedious process, but works well!

Second, cover your drying surface with parchment paper then pour out your "base" color. This is the part where I would do things differently- I melted only my white candy coat first, poured it out, then microwaved my other colors after that. The final look turned out fine, but if you want more of that "swirl" look, I would recommend heating up all of the chocolates and one time.

As you can see, I have more of a layered look because by the time my other colors were melted, the white base was already hardened (whoops). Next, while the chocolate is still melty, add on your toppings. I chose to go with two types of sprinkles and pastel colored M&MS 😋

And here's the final product!

Lastly, after the bark has completely set, just break it apart in pieces and serve! It's a tad sweet for me all on its own (I'm sure kiddos would love it) so I might break it into small pieces and mix it up with some salty pretzels or popcorn! 

Let me know if you give this festive treat a try!
