Leftover Easter candy isn’t really a problem in my house. Leftover candy of any kind isn’t really a problem, in fact.
I’ve told you before I am obsessed with candy of all kinds.
So if I don’t have leftover candy in the house, I panic.
Because sometimes all of us crave jelly beans in October. You might not have a super-secret stash hidden from the rest of the family, but I do, because jelly beans are not to be messed around with.
My pantry is stocked with bag after bag of candy. Jelly Belly is a favorite, Williams-Sonoma has awesome sweets, and I have discovered a serious weakness for Starburst jelly beans.
I am pretty much literally a kid in a candy store . . . in my own house. How awesome is that???
But in case you have leftover Easter candy that you want to use up, make this Easter Candy Bark.
It is gluten free, no bake, ridiculously easy to make, and super versatile. Feel free to use whatever chocolate you want, as well as any candies. This is your creation. It’s such a great thing to make with kids too.
I hope you all have a great Easter and indulge in a little Easter candy!

Such a gorgeous candy bark with all the colorful jelly beans! I can never resist a white chocolate treat! Happy Easter!!!
Laura says
Happy Easter, Liz!
Stacy says
I don’t have a secret stash of jelly beans but I do have a big container of seasonal M&Ms/chips that would be perfect for your bark, Laura. Is there really such a thing as leftover candy? I think not. It’s just candy we haven’t eaten yet.
Laura says
So true, Stacy!
Joanne says
Starburst jelly beans were always my favorite! Love that you’ve compiled all your leftovers into this cute bark!
Laura says
You don’t want to know how many bags of Starburst jelly beans I’ve hoarded 😉
Renee says
Oh how pretty and colorful! I was expecting chocolate and was pleasantly surprised with the brightness of this bark.
The Ninja Baker says
Soooo cute, Laura! Yes, the candy. AND your habit of stashing jelly beans away from the parents =) When you live in LA, you’ll have to go to Gelson’s in Marina del Rey which has a half-row of jelly bean canisters. (Believe it’s the jelly belly kind.) Conversely, I’ll have to check out Williams-Sonoma =) Happy Easter!
Laura says
I will be sure to check out Gelson’s when I move to LA 🙂 Jelly Belly also has an awesome online store. Thanks, Kim! Happy Easter to you too!
Ala says
Hee hee – I just ate my first jellybean in 10 years this past Friday, it was so good! I think I’m missing out on all the candies that I should’ve gotten this Easter. I’m so glad you’re putting it to good use though – this candy bark looks like a colorful, fun ways to use all of it up!
Laura says
I’m a jelly bean addict. Welcome to the club, Ala 🙂
