Making Chocolate Trees
Chocolate Trees are so easy to make and transform any dessert into something unique and special.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 1 minute
- Total Time: 6 minutes
- Yield: varies
Ingredients
- Chocolate Melts – Dark Brown
- A zip tight bag or candy squeeze bottle
- Wax Paper
Other possible equipment:
- scissors
- Baking Sheet lined with wax paper that will fit into the refrigerator
Instructions
- place wax paper on your work surface
- Using a small microwave proof glass bowl, melt the chocolate melts
- *I typically melt mine for 1 minute in the microwave and stir until smooth. If needed, I pop the chocolate melts back in for 30 more seconds and stir until smooth
- Pour the warm chocolate into the squeeze container or bag =(squeeze out the excess air, and zip tight – snip a corner for chocolate to squeeze through)
- Now, just start drawing trees:
- Start with the middle of the tree – the main straight part. squeeze the chocolate out into a line and repeat next to the line, going up and down – making the tree wider until you like the width
- Then form a V at the top
- add branches from the V, making smaller V’s at the tips
Notes
Haunted Trees:
- To make the trees really spooky, add 2 candy eyes, and red candy sprinkles for bat eyes. When chocolate dries, add black eyebrows with black cookie frosting to the candy eyes
To dry trees: simply let the trees harden at room temperature. Time will vary depending on the temperature in your room – or – use that wax-lined baking sheet to pop them into the fridge for a minute to two
