One of my favorite things about Easter is the beautiful pastel colors of the decorations, little girls’ dresses, Easter eggs and Easter treats! That’s one of the reasons I like this Easter Candy Macadamia Bark Recipe. It’s just so pretty to look at! It really adds a special touch to an Easter dessert table, an Easter basket of homemade goodies or to any special gathering.
This Easter Candy Macadamia Bark recipe is also pretty special because of the macadamia nuts. They have such a smooth, buttery texture and delicate, sweet nutty flavor. If for some crazy reason you don’t like macadamia nuts, you can make this recipe with the candy alone, or you can substitute blanched almonds. They also have that light, almost white color.
