What are Cadbury Mini Eggs?
Cadbury Mini Eggs are egg-shaped, Easter-themed candy. The eggs are about an inch long and are eaten by the handful. They’re candy-coated with a milk chocolate center and come in a mixed bag of pastel colors. You can buy Mini Eggs all year long, but they’re more prominently purchased and enjoyed at Easter time.
How do I make Cadbury Mini Egg Bark?
Making this Mini Egg dessert is simple. You melt your white chocolate, then portion it into four bowls. In three of the bowls, you’ll mix in different food colors, and in the fourth, you’ll keep your chocolate as-is. Spread your chocolate across a parchment lined sheet pan, then swirl in your colors. Top the entire dessert with pretzels, sprinkles, and chopped up mini eggs. Allow the entire dessert to harden, then break the bark into pieces.

Tips and Recipe Notes
- Melt your chocolate slowly. You can melt it in the microwave, but melt it in 15-30 second intervals. When it’s almost fully melted and there are just a few chocolate chunks left in your bowl, stir until they’re finished melting.
- To chop up your Mini Eggs, put them in a Ziploc and press down with a rolling pin. You can also use a meat mallet to gently hammer them apart.
- Make sure you use parchment on your cookie sheet. It’s really difficult to lift the bark off the cookie sheet without parchment. Cooking spray doesn’t really do the trick for this recipe, so if you don’t have parchment, I recommend you stop making this, run up to the store to get some, then start again.
Ingredient Substitutions for Easter Bark
- White Chocolate – You can use white almond bark if you prefer. You can also use milk chocolate, but you won’t be able to add in the food color swirls.
- Sprinkles – You can use any kind of sprinkle you want in this recipe.
- Other toppings – You can top this Easter Bark recipe with mini marshmallows (the pastel ones look pretty), candy, crushed cookies, white chocolate chips… be creative!
Recipe Variations
To make this recipe work for other holidays, you can still use Mini Eggs and white chocolate, or you can swap them out for holiday-themed candies and other types of chocolate. Here are some ideas:
For Christmas Bark, swirl with red and green food color and top with Christmas sprinkles.
For Hallowe’en Bark, swirl with orange food color and sprinkle with orange and black sprinkles and orange M&Ms.
For the 4th of July, swirl with red and blue food color and sprinkle with silver sprinkles or glittery coarse sugar.
For St. Patrick’s Day, try my Lucky Charms Bark – it’s just as simple and super delicious!
Be creative and make this recipe for all kinds of holidays and celebrations!

Cadbury Mini Egg Bark
Cadbury Mini Egg Bark is a no-bake, Easter-themed treat that requires just 5 ingredients. This recipe comes together in a snap. Just melt white chocolate, swirl in some food coloring, and top with pretzels, sprinkles, and chopped up Mini Eggs.
Ingredients
- 5- 4oz Ghirardelli premium white chocolate bars, broken into smaller pieces
- ½ cup mini cadbury eggs, roughly chopped
- ½ cup tiny pretzel twists, broken into smaller pieces
- Assorted sprinkles
- Gel food coloring: green, yellow, red
Instructions
- Line an 11x7 baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt the white chocolate bar using a double boiler over low heat or in a microwave using a low setting. Make sure to stir every 30 seconds and to not overheat it otherwise it may seize up and thicken.
- Once it is melted, set aside about 3 tablespoons each of the melted chocolate into 3 separate ramekins. Place 1-2 drops of a different colored food coloring into each ramekin and stir it together. Use separate spoons so the colors do not blend.
- Pour the plain melted white chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into a rectangle.
- Immediately drop small spoonfuls of each of the colors on top of the melted white chocolate, or just drizzle it on in alternating colors. Use a skewer to make swirls. (It doesn’t have to be perfect, it will be covered with mini cadbury eggs, pretzels, and sprinkles. It just adds a nice touch of color.)
- Decorate the top of the bark with the chopped mini cadbury eggs, pretzel pieces, and sprinkles.
- Place the bark in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes to set completely.
- When ready to serve, break it apart into pieces with your hands or use a knife to slice it into bars.
Notes
Make sure not to spread the white chocolate onto the parchment paper too thin. You want it to be slightly thick so that it can hold the mini cadbury eggs and pretzels in place when it hardens.
Use any color food coloring you like. You only need 1-2 drops, a little goes a long way.
Use a high quality premium baking white chocolate that melts easy and one that tastes good. I do not recommend using candy melts for these.
STORING
Store leftovers on the counter in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month or freeze for up to 2 months.
