Ingredients
- 12 ounces milk or semi-sweet chocolate*
- 12 ounces White Chocolate**
- ¾ cup pastel-colored M&Ms or as desired
- ¼ pastel or Easter-themed sprinkles or to taste
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x13 baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.
- Place the milk or semi-sweet chocolate bars or chocolate melting wafers into a large microwave-safe bowl, and heat on high power for 30 seconds. Stop and try to stir.
- Microwave again in 15-20 second bursts, mixing well after each burst. Repeat the process, until the chocolate has completely melted.
- To a separate large microwave-safe bowl, repeat the process for the white chocolate bar or melting wafers and it has completely melted.
- Pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate first over the parchment paper in the prepared pan and spread it evenly out to the edges of the pan.
- Next carefully pour the white chocolate over the top of the semi-sweet chocolate and spread it in an even layer out to the edges of the pan.
- Use a toothpick or tip of a small paring knife to create swirl patterns in the chocolate, as desired. Tip - Don't over-swirl, stop after it looks pretty and don't be tempted to keep going because it will tend to look muddied, not pretty, if over-swirled.
- Evenly sprinkle the M&Ms over the chocolate.
- Evenly sprinkle the sprinkles over the chocolate.
- Place baking pan in the fridge until completely set, at least 1 hour, before breaking into pieces and serving. Bark will keep airtight at room temp for at least 2 weeks, and in the fridge for at least 1 month.

Notes
- *For the chocolate, I like and recommend something like Trader Joe's Pound Plus Bars in either Milk or 72%. Bars of chocolate are easier to melt than chocolate chips and tend to melt more evenly and consistently. You can also look for chocolate 'melting wafers' which melt very smoothly.
- **For the white chocolate, if you can find white chocolate in bars or melting wafers, I much prefer those to white chocolate chips which can be quite resistant to melting and they also scorch easily.
