Easter Bunny Bark

Peek-a-Boo!
It's me.
Are you still there?
I hope you are, but I wouldn't blame you one bit if you've drifted off into places much more exciting than this blog has been for the past several weeks.
It really is so unlike me just to disappear into Neverland.
I do apologize. Really I do.
But something really exciting happened in our lives about 3 weeks ago. Before I knew it, life got all topsy-turvy in the brightest & most dreamy way possible! Everything has happened so fast, which is why I haven't had time to blog, much less open Bags by Bloom. 
I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to keep the exciting news to myself for now.
When the time is right, I'll be beaming to let you in on all that has happened.
For now.
Just believe.
Just know.
DREAMS really do come true!  
Speaking of dreams.
I honestly can't think of many things much more dreamy than Easter candy.
Malted eggs!
{Have you ever colored your lips with a BLUE malted egg? Just wondering.}
Crispy Easter bunnies!
Chocolate covered marshmallows!
And pastel jordan almonds.

To make Easter Bunny Bark you'll need:
Chocolate Easter Bunnies
20 ounces of good white chocolate {I used Ghirardelli squares}
Of course you'll need lots of Easter candy! 
Begin by roughly chopping the candy. If you've never chopped up Easter candy you need to!
Chopping Easter candy is seriously one of the most over-the-moon FUN things I've ever done! I almost felt guilty when I plopped the bunnies on the chopping block. But then I just started chopping. And kept on chopping til all those little bunnies were in nice, big chunks. Line an 9 x 11 {or close to it} pan with parchment paper. Spray a medium size microwave safe bowl with a bit of oil. This helps the chocolate to pour smoothly. Add all but one bar of chocolate to the bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Continue to microwave chocolate for 30 seconds and then stir until chocolate is melted. Add the remaining chocolate and stir. Keep stirring until additional chocolate melts. If needed, pop the chocolate back in the microwave for 15 seconds, stirring until all the white chocolate is melted. Pour melted chocolate onto parchment paper and spread. Now comes the FUN part. Begin placing Easter candy in the white chocolate. Keep on ploppin' the candy down in the chocolate. You've got to experience the high this will put you on just once in your life. Let the Bunny Bark sit for several hours until it hardens. If you're in a hurry, pop it in the fridge for 30 minutes or so. Make sure it's totally hard before cutting. Transfer bark to a cutting board. Cut the bark into pieces. Can you stand how ADORABLE this is?
I honestly was dancing in the kitchen as I was cutting this up. That's because I've always wanted to make bark.
Making it with chocolate bunnies was just about more than I can handle. If you've never painted your lips with a BLUE malted Easter egg; promise me you will.
And give someone you love a big BLUE kiss!
Thanks for your patience during these topsy-turvy days!
Happy Spring!
Happy Everything!
