Leftover Easter Candy Bark

If you’re anything like me, you have Easter candy coming out your ears right now and are finding yourself eating it all the time. Yes, I know you’re sneaking it just like I am! Instead of sneaking handfuls of candy, make this fun candy bark! Bring it to work or to someone else’s house and really get rid of the candy! :)

Ingredients:

• 26 ounces white chocolate (or white chocolate melts)
• 8 Peeps, chopped or cut into 1/8ths
• 1 cup Easter candies (M&Ms, Reese’s Pieces, etc.), crushed

Directions:

1. Line a baking sheet with foil, shiny-side up; smooth out the creases.
2. Crush the candies by placing them in a resealable bag and gently rolling a mug or rolling pin over the bag. It’s fine if some of the candies are left whole.
3. Create a double boiler by putting a glass or metal bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Add the chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Do not overheat the chocolate or it will seize. NOTE: You can also microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between. This will be the way you do it with the white chocolate melts.
4. Remove the bowl from the pan and wipe the condensation from the bottom. Pour the white chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet; use the rubber spatula to spread it into a 10-to-12-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
5. Press the chopped Peeps and crushed candies into the chocolate, arranging them so each bite has a mix of flavors, colors and textures. Refrigerate the chocolate for 1 hour to completely set before breaking it into large pieces.
6. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks.
