Bunny Bark
Candy bark is always a fun treat to make for the holidays! We’ve made Leprechaun Bark for St. Patrick’s Day and all sorts of peppermint bark-inspired desserts for Christmas, like these Peppermint Bark Brownies.
This Easter Bunny Bark might just be the cutest candy bark yet! The little bunny faces are simply adorable, and they are so easy to make with white chocolate and simple Easter candy decorations.

- White Candy Melts — You can also use white chocolate melting wafers, however, it will have a more off-white color than the “bright white” candy melts we used.
- Candy Eyes — This set comes with different sizes so you can choose which look you like best.
- Bunny Ear Icing Decorations — You may also be able to find these in the baking section of your local grocery store or a craft store.
- Mini Pretzel Sticks
- Pink Jelly Beans
Kitchen Tools Used
Directions
To prep: line a baking sheet with wax paper.
- Use a double boiler pan to melt the white chocolate or candy melts on the stovetop. You can also microwave using a microwave-safe bowl. If microwaving, heat in 20 second increments, stirring between, until melted and smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate onto the wax paper and allow it to spread out naturally until about 1/4″ thick.
- While the candy is still soft, press candy eyes, candy ears, and a pink jelly bean to make a bunny face.
- Break two pretzel sticks in half and use the 4 small pieces to make whiskers. Repeat until you’ve filled the melted chocolate surface with bunny faces, leaving a bit of space between each one for cutting.
Place the cookie sheet in the fridge for 30 minutes to harden. Once completely set, you can use a pizza cutter to break the bunny bark into individual pieces. You can also break by hand, but a pizza cutter gives you more control in determining the size and shape of your bark, and keeps the bunny faces together.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can You Use White Chocolate Instead of Candy Melts?
Our ingredient list calls for white candy melts, but if needed, you can substitute white chocolate. If doing so, I recommend using white chocolate melting wafers, which are formulated for smooth melting and candy making.
If you’re using white chocolate chips, you’ll want to stir in a Tablespoon of either shortening or coconut oil during the melting process, to keep it smooth.
Keep in mind that white chocolate will have a slightly off-white color and won’t look exactly the same as the bunny bark picture here, which was made with “bright white” candy melts.
Does Candy Bark Need to Be Refrigerated?
No, this chocolate bark does not need to be kept in the refrigerator. You can store the candy bark in an airtight container at room temperature. Just be sure to keep away from heat or light sources that could cause it to melt or soften.
When carefully stored, your homemade Easter chocolate bark will stay good for weeks.
