Step by Step Guide

The chick

1. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave or using a water bath. Tint it yellow and use a pastry syringe to apply crosswise stripes on a wafer cookie.

2. Place chocolate chips for the eyes and a candy piece for the beak. Let it cool, then add pink chocolate scallops for extra detail.

The bunnies

3. Melt the white chocolate until it reaches a condensed milk-like consistency. If it’s too thick, stir in a teaspoon of boiling water. Spread the white chocolate over two-thirds of each wafer cookie.

4. Extend the chocolate to form ears using a pastry syringe or a piping bag with a small hole. Sprinkle with decorations and add chocolate chips for eyes.

5. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, then use pink chocolate to add details on the nose and neck.

The carrots

6. Tint the remaining melted chocolate orange and spread it over the wafer cookies, leaving a small portion uncolored. Chill for 10 minutes.

7. Use a syringe to apply crosswise orange stripes. Dye the chocolate green and pipe the leafy tops. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.

Recipe FAQ

Q: Can I use regular chocolate instead of white chocolate?
A: Yes, you can substitute regular chocolate for white chocolate, but the colors won’t be as vibrant for the decorations. White chocolate helps achieve the bright, pastel look often desired for Easter treats.

Q: Can I use different types of food coloring?
A: Absolutely! You can use gel or liquid food coloring. Just be mindful that gel colors are more concentrated, so you’ll need a smaller amount.

Q: How long do the chocolate bars need to chill?
A: The chocolate bars need to chill for about 15 minutes in the refrigerator to set properly, but you can leave them a bit longer if you prefer them to harden more firmly.

Q: Can I make these chocolate bars ahead of time?
A: Yes! You can make them a day or two in advance. Just store them in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh.

Q: Do I have to use wafer cookies?
A: Wafer cookies work great because of their light texture, but you can substitute with graham crackers or shortbread cookies if you prefer.

Q: How do I get the chocolate to melt properly?
A: You can melt the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, or use a double boiler method over simmering water to ensure it melts smoothly.

Q: Can I add other decorations?
A: Absolutely! You can get creative with sprinkles, mini marshmallows, or even edible glitter for extra sparkle.

Q: How do I get the chocolate stripes to look neat?
A: Using a pastry syringe or a piping bag with a small hole will help you achieve neat, uniform stripes. Take your time and apply the chocolate slowly for the best effect.

Q: How do I store the Easter chocolate bars?
A: Store the chocolate bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or keep them in the fridge if you want them to last longer.

Q: Can I use a different sweetener in this recipe?
