Step 3: Stir Until Smooth
Once the chocolate is fully melted, gently stir everything together until smooth and evenly combined. Make sure the nuts and pretzels are fully coated in chocolate.
Step 4: Add Easter Candy
Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly for 5–10 minutes. Then fold in your pastel candy-coated chocolates and any additional toppings like sprinkles.
Note: Adding them too early can cause colors to melt and bleed.
Step 5: Scoop the Candy
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop clusters of the mixture onto the sheet.
Each cluster should look like a small mound filled with chocolate, nuts, and colorful candy.
Step 6: Let Them Set
Allow the candy to cool and harden at room temperature for about 1–2 hours, or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting (about 30 minutes).
Serving and Storage
Once hardened, your Easter candy is ready to enjoy!
