Instructions
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Prep the "ears" by cutting around 15 white candy melt disks in half and set aside.
In a large, microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate & heat in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
Immediately pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread with an offset spatula in a layer about 1/8-1/4" thick. Move the pan to the fridge to set (approximately 10 minutes).
In another microwave-safe bowl, add the pink candy melts & heat in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. If not smooth, add a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable oil to thin it a bit.
Spread the candy melts onto the chilled chocolate layer, reserving a tiny bit to use as "glue" for the noses.
Press 12-17 white candy melts on the melted chocolate (for the heads), leaving room for the ears.
Place the cut white candy melt disks above the bunny heads for the ears.
Dip a toothpick into the remaining pink candy melt (reheat if it has already firmed up), and dab a dot onto the white disk and immediately add a pink pearl sprinkle for the nose.
Use a black food coloring pen to add the eyes to each bunny.
Scatter the colored sprinkles on top of the melted candy bark.
Place the pan in the fridge to allow the bark to fully set, about 25-30 minutes. Then cut them with a sharp knife so that each piece has a full bunny head.
Notes
Use any pastel color for the base.Can be made with or without the chocolate layer. Don’t spread the base too thin or it will be too fragile.Store at room temperature or in the fridge in a covered container for up to 2 weeks.
