Bunny Bark

Total Time Prep: 20 min. Cook: 10 min. + cooling
Yield 16 servings
This festive and colorful bunny bark is a hopping good treat to serve on Easter—or to stuff into baskets from the Bunny himself. The bark is as adorable as it is delicious!

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Break bunny bark into large pieces; serve.
