Easter is upon us, and it’s always a fun time for some special treats. I love Christmas and all, but I think that the Spring colors make Easter baking even more fun. The boys are willing to do anything to get in the kitchen with me, but the Spring colors seem to bring more excitement for them as well. This Macadamia Nut Easter Candy Bark has been a favorite of theirs to cook because of the swirling and, of course, the bright Easter candy.

Barks are often made for gifts or candy platters in our house because they are so stinking easy to make. They don’t heat up the kitchen at all, and if I trusted the boys not to make 10 pounds at once, they could really make this on their own. The flavor combinations are endless and, depending on the ingredients, barks are really inexpensive.
