No-Bake Easter Candy Macadamia Bark

4-6

10 minutes

45 minutes

55 minutes

1 lb. vanilla candy coating

1/4 cup macadamia nuts, crushed

1/4 cup Reece's Pieces egg candy

1/4 cup Robin's Egg candy

food coloring (red or blue)

Line a 9-by-13 baking pan with wax or parchment paper and set aside.

Break up the vanilla candy coating into smaller pieces into a microwave-safe bowl.

Microwave the candy In 30-second increments until it is completely melted and smooth.

Reserve 1/4 cup of the melted candy coating and pour the rest onto the lined baking sheet. Spread the candy evenly along the bottom.

Squeeze just two or three drops of food coloring into the bowl with the remaining melted candy, and stir until the color is homogenous.

Pour the colored chocolate over the white chocolate in the baking pan. Swirl the colors together with a knife to create a design.

Evenly sprinkle the crushed macadamia nut pieces over the candy, followed with the candy eggs. Lightly press everything into the candy coating so it sticks.

Place the baking tray into the fridge until the candy is fully hardened, about 45 mins.

Remove the tray from the fridge and break or cut into desired sizes. Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge if keeping some for later.
