New Test Kitchen Recipe: Leftover Easter Candy Bark Recipe

March 17, 2015 by RecipeLion 6 Comments

When it comes to Easter recipes for leftovers, there’s plenty you can do with ham or other main dish extras. But what to do with all that leftover Easter candy? A little bunny told us that you can round up all those egg-shaped goodies and create a whole new, exciting candy. Homemade candy bark is basically delicious, and you can’t go wrong. Look no further than this sweet spring dessert.

This homemade candy recipe, by Barbara Becker for RecipeLion.com, rounds up all those odds and ends like M&Ms and malted milk balls to make a chocolatey, milky candy bark.  You can give this candy bark to family and friends! It’s time for spring cleaning, and no one wants all that extra candy cluttering up the cupboard.

Honestly, this candy is also super cute. Those bright spring colors are easy on the eyes, making this recipe a seasonal delight. This easy homemade candy recipe only takes 5 minutes to prepare, so with a hop in your step, you’ll have this yummy Easter candy bark in no time.

    I love this idea! I always find candy hidden in cabinets months after Easter is over, but this recipe will make sure all of the candy is enjoyed! I always have leftover Reese’s Pieces and Malted Milk Balls, so I will try those out. I will probably use M&M’s too just because those are my favorite!

    Mmmhm, that sure looks good! Why eat just a Kit Kat when I can have all these yummy munchies put together? The instructions seem easy to follow, plus these are all things I will have around the house at Easter-time! I definitely am going to try this recipe out in a couple weeks! I hope it looks as good as your picture! Thanks for the recipe!

    I’m so glad I read this recipe before Easter and before my mom brings me my Easter basket. I just might save it all to make this. I love this recipe because it really promotes sharing, since everyone’s candy has to come together instead of being split up in order for this to come out as amazing as it did. It’s easy for kids of any age–even my boyfriend will probably ask if we can do this recipe next.

    What a clever idea! I’m going to have to try this myself. If it turns out half as delicious as Barbara’s, I’ll be happy…and so will my kids!

    This candy bark was tasty. I loved the pretzel pieces and the white chocolate drizzle.
