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.
This Easter candy bark recipe is a great way to make a colorful treat or easy holiday dessert.
It is called “bark” because once broken into pieces, it often has a craggy surface that resembles tree bark. Easter chocolate bark is seriously fun and makes a great addition to any festive party or gathering!
My boys love any kind of treats that have swirled chocolate so this Easter bark was especially great for them to make! They also love these Easter Sugar Cookies and Easter chocolate covered pretzels.

Ingredients:
- 12 oz Meltable blue chocolate candy melts
- 2 oz Meltable yellow chocolate candy melts
- 2 oz Meltable pink chocolate candy melts
- 1/4 cup Easter sprinkles (optional)
Directions:
1. Melt the blue chocolate chips in a microwave safe container. Melt in intervals of 15 to 30 seconds, checking and stirring each time so that the chocolate doesn’t burn.
2. Spread the melted chocolate out onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. The chocolate slab should be about 1/4″ thick.
3. In separate bowls, melt the pink and yellow chocolate wafers in a microwave safe bowl. Melt in intervals of 15 to 30 seconds, checking and stirring each time so that the chocolate doesn’t burn.
4. Spread the colored chocolate in alternating stripes over the blue chocolate.
5. Use a toothpick to create swirls in the chocolate mixture, dragging it through the chocolate perpendicular to the drizzled toppings. Optional: add sprinkles before the chocolate cools.
6. Place the chocolate in the fridge and allow the chocolate to harden completely before breaking into “bark” sized pieces.
Doesn’t this bark look amazing?! I love the combination of pretty spring colors for this spring inspired Easter treat.
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 colour from the candy tends to rub off if 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 candies and a great recipe for the kids to make.
Some of my kitchen essentials:
- I love using this non-stick bakeware for all of my baking.
