Bunny bark makes the perfect Easter treat to serve on a tray alongside other festive Easter desserts like an adorable bunny cake and colorful marshmallow Easter eggs. Bunny bark also makes a wonderful treat to pack in small cellophane bags tied off with colorful ribbons. Tuck these little bunny bundles into your child’s Easter basket or deliver them to friends and neighbors as a thoughtful Easter gift.
Ingredients
30 ounces white vanilla-flavored melting wafers
gel food coloring (3 colors)
assorted sprinkles in pastel colors
optional toppings: chocolate easter eggs, easter m&m candies, marshmallow peeps, pretzel pieces, bunny-shaped graham crackers and jelly beans
Directions
Line a 15x10x1-in. sheet pan with parchment paper; set aside. Add candy melts to the top pan of a double boiler. Position over a few inches of gently simmering water; melt over low heat, stirring until completely smooth, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Divide 1/2 cup melted wafers among 3 small bowls. Add 1 small drop of different colored food coloring to each. Stir into each portion, adding more dye as needed, until the desired colors are achieved.
Spread remaining melted candy wafers onto prepared parchment-lined sheet pan into an even layer, about 1/4-in. thick. Spoon dollops of each color over the surface. Use a sharp knife to swirl the colors through the initial layer until well-marbled.
While the candy is still tacky, sprinkle the surface with assorted sprinkles, candies and other toppings of your choice. Chill in the refrigerator until fully set, at least 30 minutes.
