- Alternative Method: If using a double boiler, place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water and stir the chocolate until fully melted.
- Spread the Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it into an even layer, about 10×15 inches, to prevent the chocolate from being too thin.

Easter Chocolate & Candy Bark – Pro Tips from a Chocoholic! 🍫🐣✨
I’ve made this Easter Chocolate & Candy Bark more times than I can count, and trust me—there are a few tricks that make it even better! Here’s what I’ve learned along the way:
🔹 Chocolate Matters! – Use melting wafers for the smoothest finish. Chocolate chips work in a pinch, but they won’t set as nicely. Ghirardelli melting wafers are my go-to!
🔹 Mix Up the Chocolate! – Try a combo of milk, dark, and white chocolate for a swirled effect. Just drizzle the white chocolate over the dark before it sets and give it a little swirl with a toothpick. Instant fancy!
🔹 Mini Eggs Magic! – Cadbury mini eggs are the classic choice, but malted milk eggs give it a crunchy twist. Want extra chocolate? Toss in some chopped peanut butter cups or M&M’s!
🔹 Sprinkle Perfection! – Don’t hold back on the sprinkles! They make the bark extra festive. Look for pastel-colored ones, or even edible glitter if you’re feeling fancy.
🔹 Speedy Chill Hack! – No patience? Pop the tray in the freezer for 30 minutes instead of the fridge—it sets way faster!
🔹 Breaking It Up Like a Pro – For clean, even pieces, use a sharp knife. For a more rustic look, just snap it with your hands! (I personally love the “oops, I guess I have to eat this piece” method.)
🔹 Storage Tips! – Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks… but let’s be real, it never lasts that long!
🔹 Perfect for Gifting! – Wrap pieces in cute bags or jars for an adorable Easter gift. Add a ribbon, and you’re basically a Pinterest pro.
Once you make this, you’ll be looking for excuses to whip up another batch—trust me, it’s that good! 🐰💕
