We usually make this candy to give as a delicious and affordable food gift during the Christmas season, but I never thought of a brilliant idea to make it for Easter baskets!

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

There’s just something about the combination of crackers, chewy caramel, and chocolate! YUM!
I brought a bowl of this to a recent family gathering, and the kids didn’t absolutely love it, but the adults had fun with it, too!
This is a very simple dessert that you can use perfectly on Easter Sunday, if you want something a little different than usual. Just make a big batch ahead of time and you’re good to go.
This Easter Bark Candy Recipe Is Freezer-Friendly, Too!
It’s SO EASY to make ahead of time because it keeps well in the fridge. I recommend making a batch and dividing it into individual bags to freeze later.
Then just pop the 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 perfect for almost any spring party or gathering! You can also use them as economical end-of-year teacher gifts.
