This homemade Easter candy is such a simple and delicious option for a fun treat to add to Easter baskets this year. It only takes a few ingredients, comes together quickly, and makes a festive Easter bark that kids and adults both love!

Note from Crystal: I’m so excited to have my youngest sister, Olivia, sharing this fun homemade Easter candy recipe — a spring variation of our family’s favorite homemade Christmas Candy recipe! We typically make this candy to give as a delicious and affordable food gift during the Christmas season, but I never thought of the brilliant idea to make it for Easter baskets!

Looking for unique Easter basket ideas this year? This homemade Easter candy recipe is sure to be a hit with your kids!

This delicious recipe is a spin-off of Crystal’s incredible Christmas candy recipe — and if you’re a white chocolate lover like me, you might end up actually liking this one better than the original! 😉

(Not a fan of white chocolate? Just use milk or dark chocolate chips instead, but don’t forget to put on the festive colorful sprinkles!)

Ingredients for Homemade Easter Candy

This recipe is SO easy to make and only uses a few ingredients! It’s hard to believe this recipe could be so yummy with just these few ingredients, but it really is.

• 1 sleeve Saltine crackers
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 cups white chocolate chips
• Pastel sprinkles

How to Make White Chocolate Easter Bark Candy

1 Preheat oven to 350ºF.

2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, then spread Saltine crackers over foil.

3. In a small saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat, just until gooey.

4. Pour this gooey mixture over crackers and bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until bubbly.

5. Remove from oven and sprinkle white chocolate chips.

6. Let sit for a few minutes until the white chocolate chips begin to melt. Then, use a rubber spatula to spread the melted chocolate over crackers.

7. Immediately decorate with sprinkles.

8. Stick in the freezer for an hour, or until the chocolate hardens.

9. Break into small pieces and put into gift containers or baggies.

10. Store in the freezer until ready to eat or give away.

There’s just something about the concoction of crackers, chewy caramel, and chocolate! YUM!

I brought a bowl of these to a recent family gathering, and not only did the kids absolutely love it, but the adults raved about it, too!

This is a super simple dessert that you could totally use for Easter Sunday, if you want something a little different than usual. Just make a big batch ahead of time and you’re ready to go.

This Easter Bark Candy Recipe Is Freezer Friendly, Too!

It’s SO easy to make ahead of time because it keeps really well in the freezer. I recommend making a batch and breaking it up into individual baggies to freeze for later.

Then just pull a baggie out when you’re ready to use it for a get-together or Easter basket!

I love the fun colors of the sprinkles — and this recipe is really perfect for just about any spring parties or get-togethers! You could even use them as frugal end-of-the-year teacher gifts.
