Easter Bunny Bark
A fast, no-bake treat made with bright white candy melting wafers and colorful M&M's, perfect for Easter celebrations and playful snacks for kids.
Ingredients
Essentials
- 1 pan Easter bunny silicone pan (24-cavity bunny mold recommended) Silicone releases easily for simple removal.
- 120 pieces pastel colored M&M's (24 each pink, blue, green, yellow, and purple) These give the bunnies their colorful popping centers.
- 2 cups bright white candy melting wafers Plus a bit more on hand if you’d like thicker pieces.
Optional add-ons
- to taste sprinkles (pastel nonpareils or sugar crystals) For extra texture and sparkle on top.
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips or white chocolate chips For speckling the inside if you want more chocolate flavor.
- 1 tsp shortening or vegetable oil To thin the melted wafers slightly if they’re too thick for piping.
- 1 edible food markers To draw tiny faces after the bunnies set for a cute touch.
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather everything and prep the workspace.
- Place your bunny silicone pan on a flat baking sheet to make it stable while filling and moving.
- Count and sort the pastel M&M's into groups of five (one of each color) for quick access.
- Have your disposable piping bag ready and scissors nearby for snipping the tip.
Melting
- Place 1 cup of bright white candy melting wafers into the disposable piping bag. Fold the top over to keep it open.
- Microwave the piping bag upright in 1-minute intervals at 50% power, squeezing and kneading the bag between bursts.
- Add a small pinch of shortening or 1/4 teaspoon oil to thin the melted wafers if necessary.
Assembly
- Place one set of five pastel M&M's into each cavity of the bunny silicone pan.
- Snip a small tip off the piping bag and gently pipe melted candy into each cavity, filling just to cover the tops of the M&M's.
- Lightly tap the pan on the counter 2-3 times to remove air bubbles.
Setting
- Let the pan sit at room temperature until the candy is firm, or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes if needed.
- Flex the silicone mold and push from the back to remove each bunny, placing them on a parchment-lined tray.
Repeat
- Repeat the melting and assembly process for the remaining candy wafers until all cavities are filled.
Clean up and storage
- Wash silicone pans with warm soapy water or place in the dishwasher.
- Store your Easter Bunny Bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Notes
Work in small batches to keep melted wafers smooth, and wrap the piping bag in a warm cup between uses to maintain fluidity.
