Ingredients
Scale
White Chocolate Mixture
- 1 pound white chocolate bark, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups crisp rice cereal
- 2 drops yellow food coloring
Toppings
- 1/2 cup chopped Easter candy (e.g., robin eggs)
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Line a quarter sheet pan (9×13 inches) with parchment paper and set aside to ensure easy removal of the bark once set.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate bark according to the package directions, stirring periodically until the chocolate is evenly melted and smooth.
- Combine Cereal: Stir the crisp rice cereal into the melted white chocolate thoroughly, ensuring all cereal pieces are coated well.
- Spread Mixture: Pour the chocolate and cereal mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly using a spatula.
- Swirl Coloring: Add 2 drops of yellow food coloring onto the spread chocolate and use a toothpick to create swirls for a festive, marbled effect.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped Easter candy evenly over the top and gently press them into the chocolate to help them adhere.
- Set the Bark: Allow the bark to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm enough to break into pieces.
- Serve: Once set, break the bark into roughly 10 pieces and serve or package as a delightful Easter gift.
Notes
- You can substitute other colored food coloring or omit it entirely if preferred.
- Use any crunchy cereal if crisp rice cereal is unavailable.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted chocolate before mixing in cereal.
- Store leftover bark in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
