Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup assorted Easter candies, chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring the entire surface is covered and edges are smooth.
- Create a double boiler by placing a heat-safe glass bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to the glass bowl, stirring gently and consistently until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the melted chocolate from heat and carefully pour it onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, using a spatula to spread it evenly into a thin, uniform layer.
- Immediately sprinkle the chopped Easter candies across the melted chocolate, distributing them evenly to create a colorful and festive appearance.
- Gently tap the baking sheet on the counter to help the candies settle into the chocolate and remove any air bubbles.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and allow the chocolate bark to set for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until completely firm.
- Once hardened, break or cut the bark into irregular pieces using your hands or a sharp knife.
- Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor and smoothest texture.
- Ensure your chocolate melts slowly and evenly by using a double boiler method to prevent burning.
- Choose a variety of colorful Easter candies to create visual interest and texture.
- Work quickly when spreading chocolate and adding toppings to prevent premature setting.
- For a professional finish, use a spatula with an offset edge for smoother chocolate spreading.
- Allow the bark to set completely in the refrigerator before breaking into pieces.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent chocolate from absorbing other flavors.
- For a fun twist, experiment with different types of chocolate and seasonal candies.
