Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base
- 1 1/2 pounds white almond bark or white melting chocolate, divided
- 1 cup pink candy melts
Cookies and Decorations
- 12 lemon Oreo cookies or any lemon sandwich cookies
- Easter grass sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt White Chocolate: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 pound of white almond bark or white melting chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
- Prepare Cookies: Line a tray or baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the 12 lemon Oreo cookies spaced evenly apart.
- Cover Cookies: Spoon the melted white chocolate over each cookie to completely cover it, ensuring full coverage.
- Fill Spaces: Pour the remaining white chocolate in the spaces surrounding and between the cookies to create a smooth surface.
- Set Chocolate: Gently tap the tray on the table to help level the white chocolate and evenly spread it around.
- Sprinkle Grass: Evenly sprinkle Easter grass sprinkles around the cookies on the white chocolate but avoid placing them directly on the cookies.
- Allow to Set: Set aside the tray to allow the white chocolate to begin firming up.
- Melt Remaining White Chocolate: In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the remaining ½ pound of white chocolate in 30-second intervals until smooth.
- Melt Pink Chocolate: Melt the pink candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts until smooth.
- Prepare Piping Bags: Spoon each melted chocolate color into separate Ziploc bags and snip off a small corner for piping.
- Pipe Bunny Feet: On a parchment-lined tray, pipe 12 sets of small white ovals to resemble bunny feet.
- Level White Feet: Lightly tap the tray to level the white chocolate feet shapes.
- Add Bunny Toes: Use the pink melted chocolate to pipe four small dots on each white oval to represent bunny toes.
- Chill Feet: Place the tray in the fridge for 5 minutes to set the bunny feet.
- Pipe Bunny Tails: While the feet chill, pipe small white chocolate tails onto the back of each cookie using the melted white chocolate.
- Attach Feet to Cookies: Pipe a small spot of white chocolate on the back of each bunny foot and use it as glue to attach the feet to the bottom of each cookie.
- Final Chill: Place the decorated tray in the fridge for 30 minutes to fully set the chocolate decorations.
- Cut Around Cookies: Heat a knife by dipping it in hot water and drying it off, then carefully cut around the bunny butts on the bark to create neat edges.
- Serve: Arrange the Easter Bark pieces on a serving tray and enjoy your festive treat!
Notes
- Be sure to use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Melting chocolate in short bursts and stirring frequently prevents burning.
- Use a warm, dry knife to cut chocolate for clean edges without cracking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in a cool place or refrigerator.
- You can substitute lemon Oreos with other flavored sandwich cookies if desired.
