Ingredients

• Chocolate Base
  • 300 g white chocolate, chopped or white chocolate chips
  • 50 g pastel-colored candy melts (pink, yellow, blue, purple)
• Toppings
  • 120 g mini Cadbury eggs, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp pastel-colored sprinkles
  • 30 g mini marshmallows (optional)

Instructions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.

3. In separate small bowls, melt each color of pastel candy melts according to package instructions.

4. Pour the melted white chocolate onto the center of the lined baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread into a rough rectangle about ½ inch thick.

5. Drizzle the melted pastel candy melts over the white chocolate in random patterns. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the colors together for a marbled effect.

6. Immediately sprinkle the chopped mini Cadbury eggs, pastel sprinkles, and mini marshmallows (if using) evenly over the chocolate while it is still wet.

7. Gently press toppings into the chocolate to help them adhere.

8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until fully set.

9. Break or cut the bark into pieces and serve.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Make sure to melt the white chocolate gently to avoid burning and ensure a smooth base. When swirling the pastel candy melts, be careful not to overmix to keep the colors vibrant and distinct. Press toppings gently but firmly to secure them well before chilling.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a richer flavor, substitute the white chocolate with dark or milk chocolate. Enhance the texture by adding chopped nuts such as pistachios or almonds. You can omit the mini marshmallows or replace sprinkles with your preferred decorations to suit dietary needs or personal taste.
