Cathedral Candy is one of those fun, colorful Easter desserts that just feels like spring.

The bright marshmallows remind me of a church’s stained glass windows, pastel Easter eggs, and fresh spring flowers.

It’s the perfect nod to all the vibrant things we love about the season.

This candy is also easy to make, and it’s a great way to involve kids in the kitchen. Seriously, it’s as simple as melting some chocolate and mixing in marshmallows.

Even better, it’s quick—perfect for when you need a last-minute treat.

The combination of smooth white chocolate and soft, squishy marshmallows make for a delightful bite of sweetness. It’s one of those treats that’s as fun to eat as it is to make.

I make my cathedral candy without coconut, because my kids prefer it that way–but you can add it in if you’d like.

This is an easy recipe you can whip up for school parties, church gatherings, bake sales, or holiday dinners!

Homemade No-Bake Stained Glass Window Candy

One of the best things about this Easter cathedral candy is how easy it is to customize.

You can switch up the colors of the marshmallows to match any holiday or celebration. For instance, we use pastel marshmallows for Easter, and then switch to red and green for Christmas!

You can also play around with the type of chocolate.

While the recipe calls for vanilla almond bark, you can easily swap it for chocolate almond bark or even white chocolate for a different flavor.

If you’re feeling adventurous, add in some chopped nuts or sprinkles for extra crunch and color. It’s one of those versatile recipes you can make your own.

How to Make Cathedral Candy for Spring

It’s really easy to make this simple snack.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• Vanilla Almond Bark
• Colored Miniature Marshmallows

How to Make It:

Melt the almond bark. First, you’ll add squares of almond bark to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at high power for 60 seconds.

Stir the almond bark, then continue microwaving in 15-second increments, stirring after each, until it’s fully melted and smooth.

Add the marshmallows. Next, you’ll add the marshmallows to the melted almond bark and stir to combine, ensuring the marshmallows are coated well.

Shape and slice. Last, you’ll spread the marshmallow mixture down the center of the piece of wax paper or plastic wrap.

Carefully roll the mixture into a log, then transfer to the refrigerator. Chill for 2 hours to allow the candy coating to harden.

Remove from refrigerator and use a sharp knife to slice into rounds. Serve and enjoy!

Notes and Adaptations:

• Using 12 ounces of almond bark provides a thin candy coating around the marshmallows, which is how we prefer it. However, if you prefer to have a thicker coating, you may want to increase to 16-18 ounces of almond bark.
• Feel free to use chocolate almond bark if you prefer.
• Some people like to add shredded coconut to their cathedral candy. My kids aren’t big on coconut, so we skip this. But if you’d like, you can sprinkle coconut down the center of your wax paper/plastic wrap prior to adding the candy coated marshmallows, then sprinkle more on top of the candy before rolling.

Recommended Equipment:

• Microwave safe mixing bowl
