What Goes into This Recipe
All you need are chocolate graham crackers, vanilla candy coating (or white chocolate/almond bark), Easter M&M’s, chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs, and assorted pastel sprinkles.
How to Make This Recipe
Line a large jelly-roll or cookie sheet with chocolate graham cracker sheets, breaking them to fit and cover the pan evenly.
Chop the Cadbury Mini Eggs into pieces and leave the pastel M&M’s whole.
Melt the vanilla candy coating (or white chocolate/almond bark) according to package directions. Stir until smooth and fully melted.
Pour the melted coating over the graham crackers and spread evenly to the edges using an offset or silicone spatula for best results.
Quickly sprinkle the chopped Mini Eggs, whole M&M’s, and sprinkles over the melted coating while it’s still warm — this is the fun, colorful part.
Place the pan in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to firm up.
Remove the hardened bark from the pan and break it into pieces with a knife or your hands. Serve and enjoy.
Expert Tips for Making Easter Bark
Swap freely: Vanilla candy coating, almond bark, and white chocolate are interchangeable. Candy coating is convenient because it often comes in a disposable tray for easy melting and cleanup.
Watch melting times: Follow package directions, but be prepared to microwave in short 20–30 second intervals if needed. Break up any unmelted pieces and stir to prevent overheating.
Use a non-stick sheet: A non-stick cookie sheet or silicone mat (Silpat) makes cleanup simple and prevents sticking.
Customize your toppings: Substitute your favorite candies — peanut M&M’s, Reese’s pieces, mini peanut butter cups, pretzels, malted milk balls, or even Peeps all work well.
Use leftovers: This is a great way to use leftover Easter candy from kids’ baskets and a fun recipe to make with children.
