- 120 g mini Cadbury eggs, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp pastel-colored sprinkles

Instructions
- 1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- 8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until fully set.
- 9. Break or cut the bark into pieces and serve.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
To achieve the perfect marble effect, swirl the melted candy melts lightly without overmixing to keep distinct pastel patterns. Make sure the chocolate base is still wet when adding your toppings so they stick well. Use a sharp knife to cut the bark cleanly or simply break it into rustic pieces for an easy presentation.
Varianten und Anpassungen
For a richer flavor, substitute white chocolate with dark or milk chocolate. Enhance texture and flavor by adding chopped nuts such as pistachios or almonds. You can also skip the mini marshmallows or choose different festive sprinkles to customize the look and taste.
