Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 200g high-quality chocolate (milk, dark, or white)
- 150g mini eggs
- 1 teaspoon butter or coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Optional Toppings
- Sprinkles
- Crushed nuts
- Sea salt
- Crushed biscuits or pretzels (for mixed textures)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace: Line a baking tray or large plate with parchment paper or a silicone mat to create a non-stick surface for the bark to set on. This prevents mess and makes removing the bark easy once hardened.
- Melt the Chocolate: Break the chocolate into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl or heatproof bowl over simmering water. Stir frequently until smooth and glossy. Add a teaspoon of butter or coconut oil to help achieve a softer, shinier chocolate bark.
- Spread the Chocolate Evenly: Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared surface and spread it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon to about 1/4 inch (6mm) thickness for a sturdy, breakable bark.
- Add Mini Eggs and Toppings: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle the mini eggs generously over the surface, pressing them lightly into the chocolate. Add any optional toppings like crushed nuts or sprinkles so they stick well.
- Chill to Set: Place the tray in the fridge for 20-30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully hardened. Once set, break the bark into rustic, irregular pieces for a homemade look.
Notes
- Use quality chocolate for better flavor and smoother texture.
- Do not overheat chocolate to avoid graininess or burning.
- Press mini eggs firmly so they adhere well and don’t fall off.
- Work quickly as chocolate hardens fast once melted.
- Store the bark in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
