Main Ingredients
- 200g high-quality milk, dark, or white chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup colorful mini eggs
Optional Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (to aid melting and give shine)
- Pinch of flaky sea salt (for sprinkling on top)
- Optional mix-ins: chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pistachios), dried fruit, or sprinkles
- Prepare Your Workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and make removal easy. Measure out your mini eggs and have them ready nearby.
- Melt the Chocolate: Chop the chocolate into uniform pieces. Melt gently using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring well between bursts until smooth and glossy. If using, stir in coconut oil for a smoother melt and shiny finish.
- Spread the Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly with a spatula to about ¼ inch thickness for the perfect crunch.
- Add Mini Eggs: Evenly sprinkle mini eggs over the melted chocolate, pressing lightly so they adhere but remain visible and not buried.
- Chill and Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens completely, achieving a firm snap.
- Break and Enjoy: Remove from fridge and carefully break the bark into rustic chunks using your hands or a knife. Serve, gift, or store as desired.
Notes
- Choose high-quality chocolate for the richest taste and smoothest texture.
- Melt chocolate gently to prevent burning or seizing.
- Press mini eggs lightly to keep them on the surface without sinking.
- Ensure the bark chills long enough for a clean snap.
- Using parchment paper simplifies removal and clean-up.
