What is Easter Bark ?
Easter bark is a sweet treat popular during the Easter holiday. It’s made by melting chocolate, usually white or milk chocolate, and spreading it out onto a baking sheet. Then, colorful Easter-themed candies like pastel-colored M&M’s, mini chocolate eggs, sprinkles, or marshmallows are scattered on top of the melted chocolate. Sometimes, shredded coconut or chopped nuts are added for extra flavor and texture. Easter bark is a fun and festive treat that combines the richness of chocolate with the cheerful colors and flavors of Easter candy, making it a delightful addition to Easter celebrations or a tasty homemade gift for friends and family.
