  • 50 g pastel-colored candy melts (pink, yellow, blue, purple)
• Toppings
  • 120 g mini Cadbury eggs, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp pastel-colored sprinkles

Instructions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until fully set.

9. Break or cut the bark into pieces and serve.
