Chocolate Base
- 200g milk, dark, white, or mixed chocolate
Easter Toppings
- Mini chocolate eggs, chocolate bunnies, or pastel candies (quantity to preference)
Optional Toppings
- Sprinkles (as desired)
- Crushed biscuits (as desired)
- Chopped nuts (as desired)
- Dried fruit (as desired)
- Edible glitter (as desired)
- Prepare the tray: Line a baking tray with parchment paper to create a non-stick surface for your chocolate bark.
- Melt the chocolate: Gently melt the chocolate by microwaving in short bursts, stirring between each interval to ensure smooth, even melting. Alternatively, use a double boiler to melt the chocolate slowly without burning.
- Spread the chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking tray and use a spatula to spread it evenly into a thin layer.
- Add toppings: While the chocolate is still warm and soft, sprinkle your choice of Easter chocolates and optional toppings evenly over the surface. Lightly press them into the chocolate so they stick well.
- Chill to set: Place the tray in the refrigerator and allow the chocolate bark to chill for 20 to 30 minutes until completely firm.
- Break into pieces: Once set, remove from the fridge and break the bark into rustic pieces by hand or slice with a knife as preferred.
Notes
- Choose your favorite chocolate types or mix them for varied flavor and color.
- Feel free to customize toppings based on availability and preference—nut allergies should be considered.
- If using the microwave, melt chocolate in 20-30 second bursts to avoid burning.
- Store chocolate bark in an airtight container in the fridge to keep it fresh and prevent melting.
- This recipe is very flexible, so adjust ingredient quantities to your taste and desired batch size.
