Easter Candy Bark
Ingredients:8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
8 ounces milk chocolate chips
7 ounces pink candy melts (like these!)
1/2 cup Spring Oreos with yellow centers
1/4 cup Easter candy corn
1/4 cup Mini Cadbury Eggs, cut in half
1/4 cup Mini Robin Eggs
1/8 cup M&M's
Directions:
Lay out a large piece of parchment paper.
Put 8 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips and 8 ounces of milk chocolate chips in a microwavable bowl. Melt the chocolate chips, but be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
Spread the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper into a rectangle (the size depends on how thick you’d like the bark to be; we’d suggest keeping it pretty thin).
In a microwavable bowl, melt the pink candy melts. Be careful not to overheat the candy melts. Pour the melted candy melts on top of the chocolate.
Using a knife or stick, swirl the candy melts into the chocolate (try back and forth, up and down, or in spirals).
Place the candy and cookies on the melted chocolate and candy melts. Press down lightly.
Allow the Easter Candy Bark to dry for at least three hours. Break into pieces and enjoy!
