Easter egg chocolate bark
- Serves 10
- Prep time: 5 mins | Cooking time: 15 mins
This quick and easy treat is a great way to glam up those leftover Easter eggs, or the perfect gift for the sweet tooths in your life!
Ingredients
250g 50% dark chocolate
150g white chocolate
Sprinkles of your choice (100’s & 1000’s, confetti etc)
¼ cup pretzels
Assorted Easter chocolate/egg mix
Method
In two separate bowls, melt the dark and white chocolate. Line a baking tray with parchment or baking paper, and pour the dark chocolate onto the tray. Use a spoon or palette knife to spread the chocolate, then drizzle the white chocolate over the top. Use a spoon or palette knife to spread the white chocolate and lightly marble with the dark chocolate beneath.
Evenly scatter the sprinkles over the melted chocolate, then arrange the pretzels over the top.
Take your chosen Easter eggs and create texture by breaking, cutting or leaving some whole. Arrange over the bark, starting with the largest pieces first.
Place the bark into the fridge, and leave to set for 1hr. Once set, use a knife to cut the bark into pieces, or use your hands to break into shards. Store in an airtight container in a cool area for up to 5 days.
Tips
Be sure to add all of your toppings while the chocolate is still melted and push any larger toppings like pretzels into the chocolate slightly to ensure they stick!
Don’t like a specific topping? No worries! Swap it for whatever sweet or salty option you prefer!
Why is my chocolate bark not hardening? It is likely because your chocolate wasn’t tempered. This means that it wasn’t heated to a high enough temperature during melting.
How do you cut chocolate bark with a knife without cracking it? Remove the sheet from the fridge and place onto a chopping board 30 minutes before cutting. This will allow the chocolate to soften slightly which prevents it from cracking when cutting it with a knife. Although, it is fun to break it with your hands and have unique shapes and sizes!
