Description
This White Chocolate Easter Bark is a no-bake treat featuring creamy white chocolate topped with pastel candy-coated chocolates, fluffy mini marshmallows, crunchy nuts, and colorful sprinkles. It’s perfect for Easter parties, spring gatherings, or homemade gifts. Easy enough for beginners and endlessly customizable with your favorite mix-ins.
Ingredients
Base
- 24 ounces white chocolate chips or white baking chocolate (I prefer high-quality chips for smoother melting)
Mix-Ins & Toppings
- 1 cup pastel candy-coated chocolate pieces (like M&M’s or similar—they add that classic Easter look)
- ½ cup mini marshmallows (for fluffy sweetness and texture)
- ½ cup chopped nuts, optional (almonds or pecans add a lovely crunch)
- ¼ cup crushed pretzels, optional (for that irresistible sweet-salty contrast)
- 1–2 tablespoons colorful sprinkles, optional (because more color is always more fun)
Optional Flavor Enhancers
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (deepens the flavor beautifully)
- Pinch of salt (balances all that sweetness and makes the chocolate taste even better)
Instructions
Line your 9×13-inch baking sheet or rimmed tray with parchment paper, letting it hang over the edges a bit.
Place your white chocolate chips or chopped white baking chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring well between each burst, until the chocolate is fully melted and silky smooth.
Pour the melted white chocolate onto your prepared pan. Use a rubber spatula to spread it into an even layer about ¼-inch thick.
While the chocolate is still warm and sticky, sprinkle your pastel candy-coated chocolates, mini marshmallows, chopped nuts, crushed pretzels, and colorful sprinkles evenly over the top.
Gently press the toppings into the chocolate with clean fingertips or the back of a spoon.
Just press enough so they nestle in without disappearing completely.
Let the bark set at room temperature until it’s firm and snaps cleanly, or pop it in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes if you’re in a hurry.
Once the bark is completely set and firm, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper edges.
Notes
- Don’t overheat — white chocolate scorches easily, so keep those microwave intervals short and stir often
- Get creative with layers — try spreading half the chocolate, adding some toppings, then drizzling the remaining chocolate over top for a marbled look
- Toast your nuts first — if you’re using almonds or pecans, toast them lightly in a dry skillet for extra flavor
- Make it seasonal — swap pastel candies for red and pink for Valentine’s Day, or orange and black for Halloween
