Ingredients You’ll Need
Special Equipment:
- Easter bunny silicone pan – To create the perfect bunny shapes.
- Disposable piping bag (or Ziploc bag) – For easy filling.
Ingredients:
- 120 pastel-colored M&Ms (24 each of pink, blue, green, yellow, and purple)
- 2 cups bright white candy melting wafers
How to Make Easter Bunny Bark
Step 1: Melt the Candy Wafers
- Add 1 cup of bright white candy melting wafers to a disposable piping bag.
- Microwave in 1-minute intervals at 50% power, stirring between each interval, until fully melted.
- Be careful not to overheat the candy, as it can become too thick.
Step 2: Prepare the Silicone Mold
- Place your Easter bunny silicone pan on a flat surface.
- Drop one M&M of each color into each bunny cavity. Don’t worry about the orientation—some will lay flat, while others will be on their sides.
Step 3: Fill with Candy Melts
- Snip off the tip of the piping bag and carefully pipe melted candy into each cavity, just enough to cover the M&Ms.
- Gently tap the pan on the counter to distribute the candy evenly.
- Let the candy set and harden at room temperature or refrigerate for faster setting.
Step 4: Unmold and Repeat
- Once hardened, carefully remove the Easter Bunny Bark pieces from the silicone mold.
- Repeat the process with the remaining melted candy wafers and M&Ms.
- Enjoy or package for gifting!
Tips for Perfect Easter Bunny Bark
- Use High-Quality Candy Melts – Brands like Ghirardelli, Wilton, or Merckens melt smoothly and create a better texture.
- Work Quickly – Candy melts set fast, so make sure to tap the mold immediately after filling.
- Microwave in Short Intervals – Overheating can cause the chocolate to seize up.
- Customize with Toppings – Try adding sprinkles, chopped nuts, or edible glitter for a unique touch.
- Use a Ziploc Bag if Needed – If you don’t have a piping bag, a Ziploc bag with the tip cut off works just as well.

Want to put a twist on this simple recipe? Try these fun variations:

Speckled Bunny Bark
- Add crushed malted milk eggs or mini chocolate eggs to the candy before setting.
Marbled Bunny Bark
- Melt a mix of white and pastel-colored candy melts and swirl them together for a beautiful effect.
Sprinkle Explosion
- Before the candy hardens, top it with Easter-themed sprinkles or sanding sugar.
Peanut Butter Bunny Bark
- Drizzle with melted peanut butter chips for a Reese’s-inspired version.
How to Store Easter Bunny Bark
- Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
