How I Make Sweet and Festive Easter Bunny Bark That’s Perfect for Gifting

If there’s one Easter treat that’s guaranteed to bring smiles, it’s this colorful and crunchy Easter Bunny Bark. It’s a no-bake dessert made with melted white chocolate and topped with an explosion of pastel candies, sprinkles, and all things spring. It’s the kind of recipe I can throw together in 10 minutes, and it still looks like something straight out of a candy shop.

The first time I made this bark, I had a few leftover bags of Easter candy and some chocolate chips in the pantry — and the result was way more fun (and delicious) than I expected. Now, it’s a holiday tradition. I love packaging it in clear bags with ribbon and handing it out as Easter favors or adding it to baskets.

Ingredients You’ll Need
(Makes about 12 servings | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Chill Time: 30 minutes)

2 cups white chocolate chips (or white candy melts)
1/2 cup pastel M&M’s or mini eggs
1/4 cup bunny-shaped marshmallows or mini marshmallows
2 tablespoons pastel sprinkles or nonpareils
1/4 cup pretzel pieces or crushed graham crackers (optional for crunch)

How I Make Easter Bunny Bark (Step-by-Step)

Prepare the Baking Sheet
I line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper to make sure the bark doesn’t stick.
Melt the White Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, I melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. It usually takes about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes total.
Spread the Chocolate
I pour the melted chocolate onto the lined baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer — about 1/4 inch thick.
Add the Toppings
While the chocolate is still warm and soft, I scatter the M&M’s, marshmallows, sprinkles, and any other toppings evenly across the surface. I gently press them in just a bit so they stick as the chocolate sets.
Chill
I place the tray in the fridge for about 30 minutes, or until the bark is completely firm.
Break and Serve
Once set, I break the bark into uneven pieces — that’s part of the charm — and it’s ready to serve or package.

My Tips for the Best Easter Bunny Bark

Don’t overheat the chocolate — stir it often to avoid seizing.
Get creative with toppings! Use jelly beans, cereal, or crushed cookies.
Store in a cool, dry place or in the fridge if your kitchen is warm.
Use silicone mats for easy removal if you don’t have parchment paper.

Fun Variations I’ve Tried

Swirling in pink or purple candy melts for a marbled effect.
Drizzling with milk or dark chocolate for a two-tone look.
Using crushed Oreos and pastel M&M’s for a cookies-and-cream vibe.
Making themed bark for other holidays by swapping the colors and candies.

What I Serve with Easter Bunny Bark

Tucked into Easter baskets for a homemade treat.
Wrapped in cellophane bags as party favors or teacher gifts.
As part of a spring dessert board with cookies, cupcakes, and fruit.
With coffee or tea for a sweet afternoon treat.
