A quick and easy spring treat combining creamy milk chocolate with crunchy malted milk robin eggs for a nostalgic and colorful snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz (280 g) milk chocolate chips or bar (preferably high-quality like Ghirardelli or Lindt)
  • 6 oz (170 g) malted milk robin eggs (classic Cadbury malted eggs recommended)
  • 1 tbsp (14 g) unsalted butter
  • A pinch of sea salt (optional)
  • 2 oz (56 g) white chocolate chips (optional, for drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Prepare malted milk eggs, keeping some whole and crushing some lightly if desired.
  2. Melt the milk chocolate and unsalted butter together in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler. Heat gently, stirring every 20 seconds if microwaving, until smooth and glossy (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly to about 1/4 inch (6-7 mm) thickness using a spatula.
  4. Press the robin eggs gently into the chocolate, spacing them evenly. Sprinkle some crushed pieces over the top for extra crunch.
  5. Optional: Melt white chocolate chips and drizzle thin lines over the top for contrast.
  6. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the bark to balance sweetness and enhance flavor.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the fridge for 30-40 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set and firm.
  8. Remove from fridge and break the bark into irregular chunks. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge if warm.

Notes

Melt chocolate gently to avoid burning or graininess. Press malted eggs gently into chocolate to avoid cracking. A pinch of sea salt enhances flavor. Bark sets best in fridge for 30-40 minutes. Store in airtight container for up to 1 week at room temperature or 2 weeks refrigerated. Variations include using dark chocolate, adding nuts, or freeze-dried raspberries.
