White Chocolate Easter Bark
Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- ½ cup Robin eggs (or any candy-coated chocolate eggs)
- ½ cup Hershey’s egg-shaped white creme chips
- Easter sprinkles
Instructions
- Add the white chocolate chips to a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning. If needed, continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the melted white chocolate onto the sheet and use a spatula to spread it evenly, about ¼-inch thick.
- Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle on your toppings—Robin eggs, Hershey’s white creme chips, and festive pastel sprinkles. Gently press them into the chocolate so they adhere.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is completely firm.
- Once set, remove the bark from the fridge and use your hands to crack it into pieces. Serve immediately or store for later.
