Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate and Candy:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) baby blue melting chocolate
- 1 package robin egg candy
Sprinkles and Decorative Elements:
- 1 package easter sprinkles
Binding and Coloring Agent:
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring a smooth surface for chocolate coating.
- Melt chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, stirring gently until completely smooth and glossy at 110°F.
- Carefully pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, using a spatula to spread it evenly into a thin, uniform layer.
- Quickly distribute robin eggs across the chocolate surface, spacing them artistically for visual appeal.
- Generously scatter Easter sprinkles over the chocolate, covering the entire area for a festive look.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer for precisely 10 minutes, allowing the chocolate to set firmly.
- Create a cocoa speckle mixture by combining cocoa powder with water until it reaches a paint-like consistency.
- Remove the chilled chocolate sheet and use a basting brush to flick the cocoa mixture, creating a delicate speckled effect across the surface.
- Once the speckle design is complete, break the chocolate bark into irregular, rustic pieces using gentle hand pressure.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and smooth melting process.
- Opt for milk or white chocolate as alternatives to create different color variations.
- Prevent chocolate from seizing by ensuring no water touches it during melting.
- Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the overall sweetness and complexity of the bark.
