Easter Marshmallow Bark (Print Version)

Creamy white chocolate meets colorful marshmallows and pastel sprinkles in this festive holiday treat that's ready in under 30 minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chocolate Base

01 - 1 pound white chocolate, chopped or chips

→ Marshmallow Layer

02 - 7 ounces mini marshmallows, assorted pastel colors

→ Decorations

03 - 2 ounces pastel-colored candy-coated chocolate eggs, roughly chopped
04 - 2 ounces pastel sprinkles

# How-To Steps:

01 - Line a 9x13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
02 - Place white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each burst, until completely smooth and melted. Alternatively, melt in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, stirring constantly.
03 - Let the melted chocolate cool for 2 minutes to prevent marshmallows from melting completely. Gently fold in the mini marshmallows until evenly distributed throughout the chocolate.
04 - Pour the chocolate-marshmallow mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread into an even layer approximately 1/2 inch thick, working quickly before the chocolate begins to set.
05 - Sprinkle the chopped candy eggs and pastel sprinkles evenly over the surface. Press lightly with the spatula to ensure toppings adhere to the chocolate.
06 - Refrigerate the bark for at least 1 hour until completely firm and set throughout.
07 - Break or cut the bark into irregular pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 20 minutes but looks like you spent forever planning something adorable
  • The contrast between creamy white chocolate and squishy marshmallows creates the most satisfying texture
  • You can customize the colors for any holiday or celebration just by switching the sprinkles
02 -
  • If your chocolate seizes or gets grainy, stir in a teaspoon of coconut oil to bring it back to silky smooth
  • Folding marshmallows into hot chocolate too quickly will cause them to melt completely instead of staying fluffy
  • The bark needs a full hour to set properly or it will bend instead of break cleanly
03 -
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper that hangs over the edges for easy lifting later
  • Have all your decorations ready before melting the chocolate since it sets up fast
