So how do I make this Easter Mini Egg Chocolate Bark from scratch?

This recipe is super easy. Essentially, you are just melting the chocolate, swirling it, adding some colourful goodies and leaving it to set before breaking it apart. For a bit more detail than that, keep reading.

Place the milk and white chocolate into two separate microwave safe bowls. Place some baking paper on the flat baking tray. Begin by melting the milk chocolate, then followed by the white chocolate. This can be done over a saucepan of hot water or in the microwave. To microwave, begin with 1 minute. Take out the chocolate and stir it. Return it to the microwave and melt using 20 second bursts, stirring in between, until nearly fully melted. When there is a few small lumps left, remove from the microwave and stir until everything has completely melted.

Pour the melted milk chocolate onto the lined flat baking tray. Spread the chocolate out evenly using a spoon or small palette knife. Pour the melted white chocolate over, in blobs or random lines. Using a spoon or palette knife, gently swirl the chocolates together until you get a pattern you like. Sprinkle over the mini eggs randomly along with the sprinkles. Allow to cool and set at room temperature for 30-40 minutes. Once the chocolate has set and become hard, gently break up the bark into big pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room or cool temperature for up to 2 weeks

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Easter Egg chocolate for chocolate bark?

You absolutely can break up any leftover eggs and use as normal chocolate. Be careful to choose eggs that are pure chocolate and don’t have any mix ins like the Crunchie egg or the Malteasers egg.

Does chocolate bark need to be tempered?

Usually I would say yes. However as this chocolate bark is two different types of chocolate swirled, the lack of shine isn’t as obvious. Tempering the chocolate does help with shelf stability and snap too. If you would like to go the extra mile and temper it, you can find more details about it in my Peppermint Chocolate Bark Post.

How long does chocolate bark last for?

If stored correctly, in an airtight container I would give it 2-3 weeks if stored at cool room temperature or in the fridge.

What kind of sprinkles should I use in chocolate bark?

You can use any colour, shape or flavour you would like! I opted for a combination of Dr. Oetker Sugar Strands and Supervalu Hundreds & Thousands.

Where can I buy mini eggs?

You should be able to buy Cadbury Mini Eggs in most supermarkets like Tesco, Supervalu, Dunnes, Asda etc. Some supermarkets may even have their own brand of chocolate mini eggs. You might find bags of them in discount stores such as Dealz, EuroGiant, Mr.Price etc. If all else fails, you can order directly from Cadbury’s website. Just make sure your give yourself enough time as they ship from England.
