What kind of chocolate works best for Bunny Bark?

White vanilla-flavored candy melts are recommended because they melt smoothly and are easy to color. However, you can also use high-quality white chocolate or baking chocolate. Just avoid chips with added stabilizers, as they don’t melt as cleanly.

Can I make Bunny Bark ahead of time?

Absolutely! Bunny Bark can be made up to one week in advance and stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator. For long-term storage, freeze for up to six months and thaw in the fridge before serving.

Is Bunny Bark safe for kids to help with?

Yes! This is a kid-friendly recipe that’s perfect for family fun. Children can help swirl the colored candy and decorate with toppings. Supervision is only needed during the melting process to avoid burns.

Can I use different candies or toppings?

Definitely. Bunny Bark is highly customizable . Swap in your favorite Easter treats like mini marshmallows, gummy bunnies, or chocolate-covered sunflower seeds. You can even create holiday-themed versions for Christmas, Halloween, or birthdays.

Instructions

Line a 15x10x1-inch sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a double boiler over low heat, melt the 30 oz of candy wafers, stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Remove from heat.
Divide 1/2 cup of the melted wafers into three small bowls. Add 1 drop of food coloring to each and stir until pastel colors are achieved.
Spread the remaining melted candy onto the prepared pan in a 1/4-inch thick even layer.
Spoon dollops of the colored candy melts over the surface. Swirl gently with a knife or spatula to create a marbled effect.
While the mixture is still tacky, sprinkle the surface evenly with sprinkles, candies, and toppings.
Chill the pan in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until fully set.
Break into large pieces and serve or package for gifting.

Notes

Work quickly when adding toppings to prevent the surface from hardening.
If the bark sets too soon, place the tray in a warm oven briefly to soften.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate if your kitchen is warm.
To freeze, wrap tightly in plastic and place in a freezer-safe container for up to 6 months.
