What is Chocolate Bark?
Chocolate bark is primarily made of chocolate chips or chocolate wafers that are topped with a mixture of candy, nuts, or sprinkles. It’s most commonly made by melting the chocolate in the microwave and lasts up to three months in the panty.
It is called “bark” because, once broken into pieces, it often has a craggy surface that resembles tree bark. Easter egg bark is seriously fun and makes an easy treat for Easter dessert.

Ingredients
- 8 oz White chocolate melting wafers – These melt like a dream and create that creamy, sweet base that makes the swirls pop beautifully.
- 4 oz Milk chocolate melting wafers – Smooth, rich, and perfect for drizzling, it gives the bark that gorgeous marbled look.
- 1 cup Cadbury Mini Eggs – Crunchy candy shells with chocolatey centers that scream Easter and add the most satisfying bite.
Instructions
1. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe container. Melt in intervals of 15-30 seconds, checking and stirring each time so that the chocolate doesn’t burn.
2. Spread the melted chocolate out onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet in a thin layer. The chocolate slab should be about 1/4″ thick.
3. In a separate bowl, melt chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in intervals of 15-30 seconds, checking and stirring each time so that the chocolate doesn’t burn.
4. Drop and drizzle the milk chocolate over the white chocolate.
5. Use a toothpick to create swirls in the chocolate mixture, dragging it through the chocolate.
6. Roughly chop up the mini eggs and spread them overtop of the chocolate in an even layer. Press larger pieces into the chocolate so that they really stick.
7. Place the chocolate in the fridge and allow it to harden completely before breaking into small pieces.
Doesn’t this bark look amazing?! I love the combination of mini chocolate eggs and melted semi-sweet chocolate.
You can easily customize this Easter bark by simply changing the color of chocolate that you use. The possibilities are pretty endless!
Tips for Making Chocolate Bark
- Use candy melts for best results — the wafer chocolate melts the best. Add one teaspoon of coconut oil to other chocolate to help it melt and pour better.
- Pour chocolate onto a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy moving and transporting before the chocolate has hardened.
- Place the chocolate in the fridge or freezer to completely cool before breaking into pieces.
- Be sure to use a sharp knife or dry hands when breaking the bark, otherwise the color from the candy tends to rub off when there is any moisture present.
- Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three months. It can also be stored in the fridge to prevent the bark from melting.
How fun is this?! It’s seriously one of our favorite Easter recipes and an easy recipe for the kids to make.
