Easter Bark

The third week of March is often referred to as the week of Chocolate. Oh the delicious treats that we can find with chocolate in it. One chocolate that I love and it is so easy to create with is almond bark. This recipe is a new one on me that I plan to use becase there would be so many fun creations.

1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Green food coloring
1 pound pink candy coating chocolate
1 pound yellow candy coating chocolate
11/2 cups of candy toppings (such as small jelly beans, Easter candy sprinkles, candy-coated chocolate eggs)

In a large zip-close plastic bag, combine the coconut and a few drops of green food coloring. Close the bag and shake until the coconut is evenly green. Set aside.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with waxed or parchment paper. One at a time, place each color of candy coating chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high in 30-second bursts, stirring between, until melted and smooth.
Spoon the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet in a random pattern. Use a small spoon to swirl the colors together.
Let cool for 5 minutes, then top with the jelly beans, sprinkles, other candies and green coconut as desired. Set aside to harden completely, about 20 to 30 minutes, then break into chunks.
