Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup Easter-themed candies (e.g., mini eggs)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring the entire surface is covered and edges are smooth to prevent uneven spreading.
- Create a double boiler by placing a heat-safe glass bowl over a pot of barely simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
- Add white chocolate chips to the glass bowl and stir gently with a silicone spatula, allowing them to melt slowly and evenly while preventing scorching.
- Continue stirring the white chocolate until it becomes completely smooth and has a glossy, liquid-like consistency with no solid chunks remaining.
- Carefully remove the bowl from heat and use the spatula to spread the melted white chocolate in an even, thin layer across the prepared parchment paper.
- Immediately sprinkle Easter-themed candies, chopped nuts, and colorful sprinkles across the surface of the melted chocolate, ensuring even distribution.
- Gently press the toppings into the white chocolate using the back of a clean spatula or your fingertips to ensure they adhere properly.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and allow the bark to set completely, approximately 10-15 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
- Once set, break or cut the bark into irregular pieces using your hands or a sharp knife.
- Store the bark in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, or refrigerate for longer preservation, for up to one week.
Tips
- • Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the smoothest, most luxurious texture • Ensure your double boiler technique is gentle to prevent chocolate from seizing • Work quickly when spreading and decorating to keep the chocolate malleable • Use room temperature toppings to prevent rapid chocolate cooling • For a professional look, vary the sizes of your bark pieces when breaking • Store in a cool place to maintain the chocolate's glossy finish • Get creative with toppings - mix pastel candies, different nuts, or themed sprinkles • For a kid-friendly activity, let children help with sprinkling decorations • Use parchment paper with clean, smooth edges for a neat presentation • If chocolate starts to harden while spreading, briefly return to low heat
