No-bake Easter Bunny White Chocolate Bark is the perfect homemade sweet treat for your big and little kids. Make new memories this year with this simple yet delicious candy.
Packaged in cute cellophane bags, these adorable treats make wonderful gifts for those special people in your life. And, the recipe is so simple your children can make it or, if they are too young, they could certainly help you prepare it.
Did you know white chocolate doesn’t contain chocolate or cocoa powder? It’s a blend of cocoa butter, milk solids, sugar, milk fat, and lecithin. In my book, none of this matters, because it’s all still creamy deliciousness!
Why you will love this recipe:
- Luscious and creamy chocolate is poured over crunchy chocolate graham crackers, which is then topped with whimsical and colorful Easter candy.
- The sky is the limit; you can use whatever candy you like to decorate with: jelly beans, Peeps, gummy bunnies, M&Ms, speckled eggs, candy eggs, candy corn. You can also use Cadbury mini candy eggs, Reese’s mini chocolate eggs, Hershey’s eggs and, my personal favorite, Sweet Tart jelly beans; you get the picture.
- This delicious homemade candy is so ridiculously easy to make, I’m almost embarrassed to call it a recipe!
What’s in it:
You will need white chocolate, chocolate graham crackers, and assorted candy.
How to make it:
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over medium-low heat (I use a glass bowl over a saucepan of simmering water). Stir until smooth, then allow to cool slightly.
Place the graham crackers side by side in a single layer on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper.
Spoon the melted chocolate over the graham crackers and use an offset spatula or knife to smooth it out. Make sure to cover the graham crackers completely.
Place as much or as little of the candy on top of the chocolate, in whatever pattern you like. Optional, garnish with small pieces of edible grass. When you have placed all of your candy on top, gently press it down to make sure everything is set.
Set aside for three hours for it to harden. Cut or break the candy into 16 pieces.
Sharon’s tips:
You can also melt the chocolate in the microwave by placing it in a heat-proof glass bowl and putting it in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir it with a rubber spatula, return it to the microwave for another 30 seconds, then stir again. Continue to heat and stir in 30-second intervals until it is smooth and creamy.
Serve these delicious treats at room temperature and store leftovers in an airtight container.
This delicious candy is pretty sturdy and should travel well if packed carefully. If you can’t be with loved ones this year, it would make a terrific “thinking of you” gift!
You can use whatever candy you like to decorate your bark: jelly beans, Peeps, gummy bunnies, M&Ms, speckled eggs, candy eggs, candy corn, Cadbury mini candy eggs Reese’s mini chocolate eggs, Hershey’s eggs and, my personal favorite, Sweet Tart jelly beans would all be great too.
