Overview: Ingredients For our Easter Bark…

1. WHITE CHOCOLATE: White chocolate chips, (12 ounces) package Premier White Morsels, or chocolate melting candies.

2. CANDIES: To make it more “festive” for this holiday, I scattered pastel-colored M&M candies over the white chocolate layer (you will need about 1/4 – 1/2 cup).

3. COCONUT: Then, scattered with organic shredded coconut to give it the soft white, fluffy, bunny look (you will need about 1 cup).

4. SPARKLING SUGAR: To add a little green color to our bark, we green sparkling sugar ( I used India Tree) (about 1 Tbsp.) on top for a touch of “green grass look.”

Quick Tips for Melting Chocolate:

Our instructions on how to melt chocolate are in our recipe card below, But, lets go over these important tips before you start.

  • White chocolate chips do not melt as quickly as semi-sweet or even dark chocolate chips.  So you will need more patience as you stir the chocolate while it melts.
  • Be careful when melting chocolate.  Never allow any water to touch melting chocolate ever, or it will ruin it, and you will have to start over.
