Chocolate Bark

We know around Easter that we indulge in far too many chocolate treats, but we always seem to end up with lots of leftover eggs. If you are getting fed up with what the Easter bunny brought, why not make our easy chocolate bark recipe?

Our chocolate bark recipe is the perfect way to use up any Easter eggs and also makes really nice gifts – you could even tie the bark up in polyethene bags with colourful ribbons and leave it on your friends or neighbours’ doorsteps!

What you'll need

3x 200g milk chocolate bars (or leftover easter egg shards) 

2 x 90g packs of mini eggs (or other small eggs for decoration) 

Method

1. Break chocolate into large heatproof bowl. Place your bowl over a pan of simmering water. Make sure the water doesn’t touch the water to prevent it from burning. Let the chocolate melt whilst stirring.
2. Put ¾ of the mini eggs into a food bag, bash with a rolling pin until slightly broken.
3. Place a piece of baking parchment out and spread the chocolate out
4. Then scatter with your remaining broken mini eggs. Leave to cool and set before breaking.
