If you're on the hunt for some fun activities to keep them busy, Easter is the perfect occasion to put their baking skills to the test by prepping some delectable desserts at home. Not only will it keep them occupied for a few hours, they're also sure to enjoy eating their tasty creations.

Quick and simple to make, even the tiniest of chefs can try their hand at this recipe, making it ideal for keeping kids entertained over the break and celebrating the little moments this Easter.
If you're trying this recipe at home, you can follow along with Louise's recipe video below but first things first, here are the ingredients you'll need:
- 300 g Dr. Oetker 26% White Chocolate
- Dr. Oetker Pink Extra Strong Food Colour Gel
- Dr. Oetker Blue Extra Strong Food Colour Gel

- Dr. Oetker Easter Party Sprinkle Mix
With all of the essential ingredients in the cupboard, all that's left to do is follow these 5 simple steps...
Method:
1. First up, line a baking tray with greaseproof paper. Break up the chocolate, pop it into a large bowl and melt it in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each burst.
2. Pour a quarter of your melted chocolate into 3 separate bowls, add a few drops of each food colour into the bowls and stir through until you have an even colour. Try not to add too much colour as you might seize the chocolate! Top tip: If your chocolate starts to set then heat in the microwave in 5-second bursts to loosen it.
3. Pour the remaining white chocolate onto your prepared baking tray and smooth it out to create an even layer. Dollop small spoonfuls of the coloured chocolate over the top of the white chocolate, using a cocktail stick to swirl the chocolate together.
4. Pop the chocolate decorations on top of the chocolate and add some Easter sprinkles. Pop your chocolate bark into the fridge to set for about 1 hour.
5. Once set, all that's left to do is enjoy your tasty Easter treat! You can break or cut up your chocolate into pieces, decorate your bakes or wrap up for a delicious easter gift.
