  • Place a piece of parchment paper or wax paper on a large baking sheet. Add a layer of pretzels on top of the parchment paper.
  • Melt the almond bark and candy melts in individual microwave-safe bowls at 30-second intervals in the microwave (a double boiler also works.) Stir well.
  • Drizzle the melted almond bark and colored candy melts over the top of the pretzels. Use a knife or small icing spatula to spread it over all of the pretzels in an even layer and swirl to blend the colors.

Additions

Almond Bark: Melted chocolate can be substituted for white almond bark. I recommend using white chocolate chips to get a similar flavor.

Candy: Add in your favorite Easter candies like mini chocolate eggs, Jelly Beans, mini marshmallows, colorful crushed candy canes, Easter sprinkles, mini chocolate bunnies, or crushed Oreos.

Storing Leftovers

Store leftover Easter bark in an airtight container or a resealable bag.

It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. When stored in an airtight container or wrapped tightly, it can maintain its quality for about 2 to 3 months at room temperature.

If you want to extend its shelf life, you can store Easter bark in the refrigerator or freezer. When stored in the refrigerator, it can last for about 4 to 6 months, while in the freezer, it can last for up to a year or even longer.
