How to Make Malt Easter Bark Candy

Step One: Prep the Pan
Line a large baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper and set it aside so it is ready for the chocolate.

Step Two: Melt the Dark Chocolate
Place the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on half power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth. Spread the melted chocolate into a thin, even layer on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for a few minutes until just set.

Step Three: Chop the Malt Candy
Place the malt candy eggs in a resealable plastic bag and gently crush them using a meat mallet or rolling pin until coarsely chopped. Set aside.

Step Four: Melt the White Chocolate
Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl using the same method as the dark chocolate. Let the white chocolate cool slightly before pouring.

Step Five: Assemble and Chill
Pour the white chocolate over the set dark chocolate layer and spread gently. Sprinkle the chopped malt candy evenly over the top, then refrigerate for at least 10 minutes or until fully set. Cut into pieces or break apart by hand before serving.

Chop the malt candy into medium pieces so you get crunch without overwhelming the chocolate.
Store the bark flat while chilling to keep layers even.
Use good-quality chocolate chips for the smoothest texture and best flavor.
