Easy Easter Candy Bark
I love to make chocolate bark because it’s so easy to do, and it keeps really well, so it’s great for parties, holidays, and gifting. I will find any excuse to make a batch all through the year, and Easter is the perfect reason to make a batch.
This is super cute candy bark and just screams spring! I just love mini Easter egg candy, pastel sprinkles, and chocolate, and combining them in this Easter bark is so fun.
This so easy the kiddos can make it – all you need to do is melt the chocolate and prepare the candy. Let them help sprinkle the eggs and sprinkles over the top for a fun activity. Once it’s set, break it into pieces and give it away as gifts or keep it all to yourself!
Ingredients for Easter Candy Bark
- Chocolate – I prefer to use chocolate melting wafers (my favorite is Ghiradelli brand)
- Mini eggs – some left whole, some roughly chopped
- Sprinkles – Easter-themed sprinkles
How to Make Easter Candy Bark
- Line a baking sheet or cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper.
- Melt the candy melts in the microwave for one minute and then stir. Microwave it for 30 seconds and stir. Repeat this process until the candy is completely melted and smooth.
- Pour the chocolate into the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer. Sprinkle the whole and chopped eggs over the top, followed by the sprinkles.
- Chill the bark for an hour or until it is set. Break it into pieces and keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Tips for the Best Chocolate Bark
- Do a mix of chocolate like milk, semi-sweet, or even white chocolate.
- For the eggs, try using chocolate eggs like Cadbury mini eggs, or you can use mini malted eggs – they look like robin’s eggs.
- Look for Easter sprinkles on Amazon or at Target, Walmart, or even craft stores. There’s usually a lot of options.
FAQ
This is one thing that doesn’t go bad quickly – store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks!
Chocolate can be finicky, which is why I like using melting wafers for this – they’re formulated to melt. Make sure you’re melting at 50% power in the microwave and stirring often so there aren’t any hot spots. In a pinch, if they don’t seem to be melting, add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or shortening to them. That seems to help them melt easier.
If your chocolate gets all clumpy and isn’t smooth, then that means it’s seized. That happens when it gets too hot or if water gets into the mixture. Be sure your bowl and spatula are completely dry so no water gets in and be sure to stir often while melting so it doesn’t get any hot spots.
Sometimes you can save seized chocolate. Add 1 teaspoon boiling water to the clumpy mess and stir vigorously to try and melt the fats that have clumped together. Hopefully the chocolate will smooth out.
This Cadbury egg bark is so sweet, and the perfect spring treat! Make it for Easter and share it with family and friends – it’s so easy you can make several batches to share!
