These delightful Easter chocolate treats are perfect for celebrating the holiday with family and friends. They're easy to make and can be customized with various toppings for a fun and festive touch.
Equipment
- 1 double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
- 1 mixing spoon
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper
- 1 silicone molds or chocolate molds optional
Ingredients
- 12 ounces milk chocolate chips
- 4 ounces dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup Easter-themed sprinkles
- ½ cup crushed graham crackers
- ¼ cup chopped nuts Optional
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your baking sheet. Line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. If you have silicone molds, place them on the baking sheet for easy handling.
- In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips over low heat or in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
- Once melted, pour the milk chocolate into the prepared molds or spread it evenly on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle mini marshmallows, crushed graham crackers, chopped nuts (if using), and Easter-themed sprinkles over the top.
- In a separate bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips the same way as the milk chocolate until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the treats for a decorative finish.
- Place the baking sheet or molds in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set.
- Once set, remove the chocolate from the molds or break it into pieces if set on the baking sheet.
- Serve and enjoy your festive Easter chocolate treats!
Notes
Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite candies or dried fruits.
