The regular and white chocolate types look great in contrast and making the different swirls is a lot of fun. You can use a piping bag with different hole sizes to make different drizzles of the white chocolate and you can mix them together or keep them is they are. The different types of candy add great crunch to the thin chocolate layers and a whole host of pretty colours that will make everybody eager to eat as much of it as humanly possible.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups 4 milk chocolate buttons

  • 2 cups 2 white chocolate buttons

  • ½ cup ½ Cadbury Mini Eggs

  • ½ cup ½ Easter M&Ms

  • ½ cup ½ speckled eggs

  • ¼ cup ¼ sprinkles

  • ¼ cup ¼ smaarties

Method

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Carefully melt each of the chocolates over separate double boilers, mixing often with a rubber spatula until fully melted and smooth. Alternately, you can microwave in a heat seat bowl, microwaving in 15 – 20 second intervals and stirring in between to ensure even heating.
  • Once fully melted, carefully pour melted chocolate onto the center of your baking sheet, then use a rubber spatula to gently smooth out until approximately 5mm thick.
  • Pour the white chocolate on top of the milk chocolate in a bit of a zig zag pattern. Take a thin skewer and use the tip to swirl the two chocolates together.
  • Then one by one, sprinkle each of your Easter candy and sprinkle varieties over the chocolate before it begins to harden.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the fridge and chill for at least one hour or, ideally, overnight. Remove from the fridge and use the back of a spoon or similar to smash the bark into pieces.
