RECIPE - EASY EASTER MARSHMALLOW DESSERT

Easter Marshmallow Bark

Easter Marshmallow Bark is one of my favorite Easter desserts! Just 4 ingredients and a few minutes to make this cute and festive Easter treat. Everyone enjoys our Easter Marshmallow Bark!

Ingredients

  • 1 12- oz bag white chocolate chips
  • 3 cups mini rainbow marshmallows
  • about 1/2 TBSP shortening {optional but it really makes the melting process easier!}
  • Easter sprinkles or other fun sprinkles for decor on top!

Instructions

  1. Measure out 3 cups of marshmallows. Line an 8x11 glass dish or a half-sized cookie sheet {like I used!} with parchment paper.
  2. Pour chocolate chips into a glass or ceramic bowl and microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds. Let sit 2 minutes. Gently stir and add another 15-20 seconds if chocolate isn't fully melted.
  3. Add marshmallows and stir to coat.
  4. Transfer chocolatey marshmallows to your prepared pan. Using a rubber scraper, make sure marshmallows extend to the edge of the pan. Press down slightly to make it all somewhat even. Shake on any sprinkles you'd like to decorate the bark with.
  5. Put in the freezer for about 20 minutes, until chocolate is set. You want to use the freezer so that it cools the mixture as quickly as possible- you don't want those marshmallows to melt!
  6. Remove from the freezer and let sit on the counter to return to room temperature. Cut into pieces. If you use a cookie cutter, I suggest using a metal one and spraying the edges with cooking spray prior to cutting.
