Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate and Cookies:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) white chocolate or milk chocolate, melted
- 1/2 cup chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos)
Toppings:
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate eggs (Cadbury Mini Eggs or M&Ms)
- 1/4 cup pastel-colored sprinkles
Additional Mix-Ins:
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup pretzel pieces
Instructions
- Carefully transfer chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl, heating at 30-second intervals and stirring thoroughly between each cycle until completely smooth and glossy. For pastel variations, separate melted white chocolate into smaller containers and gently incorporate food coloring drops.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage. Gently pour the molten chocolate across the surface, using a spatula to create an even, uniform layer approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Immediately embellish the liquid chocolate surface with an artistic arrangement of crushed cookies, colorful mini chocolate eggs, festive sprinkles, fluffy marshmallow bits, and crunchy pretzel fragments. Delicately press toppings into the chocolate to secure their placement.
- Transfer the decorated sheet to the refrigerator, allowing it to set for approximately 30 minutes at 40°F until the chocolate becomes completely firm and rigid.
- Once hardened, methodically fracture the chocolate bark into irregular, rustic pieces using gentle hand pressure or a sharp knife, creating a visually appealing, textured confectionery treat perfect for Easter celebrations.
Notes
- Melt chocolate carefully to prevent burning by using short microwave intervals and stirring frequently.
- Create vibrant pastel colors for Easter theme by adding food coloring to white chocolate, ensuring even distribution.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean break of chocolate bark, preventing sticking and mess.
- Try different cookie and candy combinations to personalize the bark for various dietary preferences like gluten-free or nut-free versions.
