Easter Bark Recipe with Mini Cadbury Eggs
This marbled Easter bark is a fun twist on a standard recipe – and it only takes a few minutes to make. It’s super easy, plus it includes chocolate eggs!
This is both a craft and recipe blog, so sometimes my attention gets split between the two. That also sometimes means that I need to do a quick recipe or a quick craft since I can’t do both.
Well when it came to Easter this year, crafts won out, and recipes came in second. I decided to do an Easter dessert recipe.
And if you can tell me that the recipe 1) is really easy, and 2) involves candy . . . well, I’m pretty much sold without even knowing what it is.
With Easter right around the corner, I decided to try a standby family treat recipe but change it up for this holiday. This is my version of Easter bark! It’s got chocolate and vanilla, a little bit of crunch, and you can make it in 15 minutes.
Let me correct myself – you can make A LOT of this bark in 15 minutes. I’ve already given some to my neighbors and it’s a hit! I can’t wait to share the recipe with you. Here’s how you do it.
You’re going to make this recipe in three simple steps. You’re going to head the candy wafers, spread them onto a pan, and then add the Easter candy.
If you want the kids to help, they can! They’ll have fun plunking the eggs into the bark as its cooling. Here’s how this Easter treat is made.
Ingredients
- Vanilla flavored candy wafers – at least two pounds. I actually used almost four
- Cadbury Mini Eggs Candy – one 10 oz. bag
- Whoppers Robin Eggs Malted Milk Eggs – at least the carrot bag size or larger
- Pan for heating candy wafers
- Baking sheet with edges
- Parchment paper
- Spatula
- Food coloring (optional)
- Hammer and paper towels (for cracking)
I used Hershey products in my Easter bark. Don’t you love their Easter candy? I wanted the little decorated eggs with the speckles on them! You could also use jelly beans, sprinkles, gummy bears, or all sorts of other add-ins. Get creative!
I happened to have some white candy melts on hand, so that’s what I used – and then swirled food coloring through for marbling. But you can also purchase the wafers in some pretty awesome colors.

Easter Bark
Ingredients
- 24 oz Wilton Candy Melts White
- 3/4 cup Cadbury eggs
- 3/4 cup Whoppers Robin eggs
- Pink food coloring optional
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with either wax or parchment paper.
- Open the candy melts and add to a saucepan on the stove at the lowest heat. You can also microwave.
- Continue slowly melting the candy until full melted.
- I repeated with additional candy melts in another pan and dyed it with pink food coloring. Do this if you would like a second color.
- Spread both colors of candy melts over the wax paper in a medium layer, making about a 9 x 13 inch rectangle. Repeat this process with the melts until you've covered the wax paper.
- While cooling, top the bark with the candy eggs. Let sit until hard, then break into pieces to serve.
