Ingredients

4 ounces chocolate baking bar semi-sweet or dark chocolate
12 ounces pink candy melts one bag - any color can be used
40 round white candy melts approximately
¼ cup pastel sprinkles approximately
17 round sugar pearls approximately
black food coloring pen

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.
4 ounces chocolate baking bar
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.
12 ounces pink candy melts
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.
40 round white candy melts
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.
17 round sugar pearls
Use a black food coloring pen to add the eyes to each bunny.

Scatter the colored sprinkles on top of the melted candy bark.
1/4 cup pastel sprinkles
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.
If the candy melts are too thick, stir in 1 tsp of vegetable or coconut oil.
Use a piping or zip-top bag to apply melted candy as “glue” for decorations.
Add jelly beans, pastel M&Ms, mini marshmallows, robin eggs, chocolate chips, and more.
Store at room temperature or in the fridge in a covered container for up to 2 weeks.
