What You’ll Need (Scroll down for full recipe card)
This recipe uses only a few ingredients but creates something that looks straight out of a candy shop:
- Semi-sweet or milk chocolate melting wafers – Smooth, shiny, and ideal for bark.
- Mini chocolate eggs – A mix of whole and crushed gives it texture and that adorable “egg nest” vibe.
- Easter-themed colored sprinkles – Think bunnies, carrots, or classic sugar pearls.
- Optional pastel chocolate melts – To swirl in extra color and make it Easter-fabulous.
How to Make Easter Egg Chocolate Bark
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your semi-sweet or milk chocolate wafers in 30-second bursts, stirring between each. You want it smooth, glossy, and pourable like liquid gold.
If you’re using pastel chocolate melts, melt them separately in small bowls (one color per bowl).
Step 2: Spread and Swirl
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the melted chocolate on the sheet and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer about ¼ inch thick.
Now comes the fun: drizzle your pastel colors over the base and swirl with a toothpick or skewer. Go artsy! You’re basically Picasso with sugar.
Step 3: Decorate with Mini Eggs and Sprinkles
While the chocolate is still soft, scatter your mini eggs on top. Press some in whole, crush a few slightly for texture. Add a generous handful of Easter-themed sprinkles. Let your inner child lead the way this is the “egg bark” magic moment.
Step 4: Chill and Break
Pop the tray in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until completely set. Once firm, break the bark into irregular pieces with your hands or a knife.

I needed a way to use up the leftovers from my kids’ egg hunt stash, and voilà this bark was born. Now it’s a tradition, and let’s just say I buy the mini eggs just for this recipe.
