Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 4 Cadbury Creme Eggs, chopped
- 1 cup jelly beans
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring the surface is completely covered and smooth.
- Create the Creme Egg Bark first: Melt milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Add 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil to help create a glossy finish and prevent chocolate from seizing.
- Pour melted milk chocolate onto the prepared parchment paper, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a thin, uniform layer approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Sprinkle chopped Cadbury Creme Eggs across the milk chocolate layer, pressing them gently into the surface to ensure they adhere.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the milk chocolate layer to set completely.
- For the Jelly Bean Bark: Melt white chocolate chips using the same microwave method, adding remaining 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil.
- Pour melted white chocolate over the chilled milk chocolate layer, spreading carefully to create an even surface.
- Immediately scatter jelly beans across the white chocolate layer, pressing them lightly to secure.
- Return the bark to the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes until completely hardened.
- Once set, break or cut the bark into irregular pieces using a sharp knife.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for optimal texture.
