Equipment

  • 5 metal rabbit-shaped or spring-themed cookie cutters
  • aluminum foil
  • Toothpicks
  • baking sheet
  • Cellophane bags and ribbon optional

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 1/2 cups assorted candies such as pastel jelly beans, Easter-mix candy corn, and sprinkles
  • 12 ounces candy melting wafers 4 oz. each blue, pink, and yellow candy melting wafers

Instructions
 

Prepare the Easter candies

  • Place assorted candies in bowls nearby and within reach for sprinkling.
  • Place each color of candy wafers into separate microwave-safe bowls.
  • Heat each bowl in 30-second intervals until the candy is melted and can be stirred until smooth.

Prepare the bunny-shaped cookie cutters with foil

  • Lay a bunny cookie cutter in the center of a small sheet of aluminum foil. Fold and scrunch the foil tightly around the edges of the cookie cutter shape.
  • Smooth the foil on the inside so the melted candy will lay flat.
  • Repeat with remaining shapes, and then place on a baking sheet.

Fill cookie cutters with melted, swirled candy wafers

  • Using spoons, dollop alternating colors of the melted candy wafers into the prepared cookie cutters. Shake the baking sheet gently to level the chocolate.
  • Use a toothpick to swirl the colors together for a marbled effect.

Decorate and refrigerate

  • Sprinkle assorted candies on top of the melted chocolate.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set.
  • When the candy is firm, gently remove the foil and push the chocolate through the bottom of the cutter.
  • If the bark won’t budge, gently bend the edges of the cookie cutter outward until the chocolate releases.

Notes

For presentation, place the chocolate bunny bark in cellophane bags tied with ribbon or in an Easter basket.
You can mix colors in any pattern for a fun, marbled effect.
