How do you store chocolate bark?

Store chocolate bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1–2 weeks. Keep the layers separated with baking paper so the pieces don't stick together.

Can you make chocolate bark ahead of time?

Yes. Chocolate bark is perfect for making ahead because it keeps well in the refrigerator. You can prepare it several days before Easter and store it in an airtight container until you're ready to serve it.

Can I use different chocolate for chocolate bark?

Yes. You can use milk, dark or white chocolate, or combine different types to create a swirled chocolate bark. Choose chocolate that melts smoothly for the best texture.

Can Easter chocolate bark be given as a gift?

Absolutely. Break the bark into pieces and package it in treat bags, jars or small gift boxes. It makes an easy homemade Easter gift for friends, teachers and family.

Instructions

Line the base of the air fryer basket with baking paper, leaving a little paper extending up the sides to help contain the melted chocolate and make the bark easier to lift out once set.
Spread the pretzels evenly over the baking paper to create a salty, crunchy base.
Add the chocolate slabs onto the pretzels. Break up the chocolate so it fits onto the pretzels like a puzzle. Spoon the coconut oil over the chocolate to help it melt smoothly.
Air fry at 250°F (120°C) until the chocolate is soft and melted. Check it frequently to prevent the chocolate from overheating.
Carefully remove the pan and gently swirl the dark and milk chocolate together to create a marbled effect.
Sprinkle the candy-coated chocolate eggs and chopped Creme Eggs over the melted chocolate. Gently press them into the chocolate so they stay in place once the bark sets.
Place the chocolate bark in the refrigerator until completely firm. Once set, break or cut it into pieces and serve.

Notes

Note: I use a small air fryer, so this recipe makes a smaller batch of chocolate bark. If you have a larger air fryer, you can increase the ingredients as needed to fit your basket. Just keep the chocolate and pretzels in an even layer for the best results.
