Pastel Chocolate Bark Cadbury Eggs (Printable)

Colorful pastel chocolate base topped with mini Cadbury eggs, sprinkles, and optional marshmallows for a festive treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chocolate Base

01 - 10.5 oz white chocolate, chopped or white chocolate chips
02 - 1.75 oz pastel-colored candy melts (pink, yellow, blue, purple)

→ Toppings

03 - 4.2 oz mini Cadbury eggs, roughly chopped
04 - 2 tablespoons pastel-colored sprinkles
05 - 1 oz mini marshmallows (optional)

# How-To Steps:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring between each interval, until fully smooth.
03 - In separate small bowls, melt each color of pastel candy melts according to package instructions.
04 - Pour the melted white chocolate onto the center of the lined baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread into a rough rectangle approximately ½ inch thick.
05 - 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.
06 - Immediately sprinkle the chopped mini Cadbury eggs, pastel sprinkles, and mini marshmallows (if using) evenly over the chocolate while it remains wet.
07 - Gently press toppings into the chocolate to ensure proper adhesion.
08 - Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until fully set.
09 - Break or cut the bark into uniform pieces and serve.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours in the kitchen when you really just need a microwave and thirty minutes of your time.
  • Breaking into shards of chocolate studded with candy eggs feels like opening presents, every single piece.
  • You can swap colors and toppings based on what's in your pantry, so it never feels boring twice.
02 -
  • If your chocolate seizes or becomes grainy, don't throw it away—add a teaspoon of coconut oil and stir gently until it comes back to life, a trick I learned from a frustrating first attempt.
  • The toothpick swirling is the difference between professional-looking bark and something that looks accidental—but you have to trust yourself to know when to stop.
03 -
  • Use a bench scraper or old credit card to break the bark into pieces after chilling—it's easier than a knife and gives you more control.
  • If you want your swirls to really pop, let the white chocolate set for just two minutes before drizzling the pastels, so they sit on top instead of sinking in.
