Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chocolate Christmas Tree Treats.
Step 1
Start by chopping your dark chocolate into small, manageable pieces.
Step 2
This will make melting a breeze! Next, place the chopped chocolate in the top bowl of a double boiler set over gently simmering water.
Step 3
Stir it frequently with a rubber spatula, making sure to scrape down the sides to prevent any scorching.
Step 4
In about five minutes, you’ll see the chocolate transform into a smooth, velvety liquid.
Step 5
Once it’s fully melted, carefully remove the bowl from the heat and let it cool for a moment.
Step 6
While the chocolate is cooling, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure your creations won’t stick.
Step 7
Now, grab a small resealable plastic bag and spoon the melted chocolate into it.
Step 8
Cut off a tiny corner of the bag to create a makeshift piping bag.
Step 9
With a steady hand, pipe the chocolate onto the parchment paper in the shape of delightful Christmas trees, remembering to give each tree a sturdy base for stability.
Step 10
Once you’ve crafted your chocolate trees, let them harden in a cool spot overnight, or until they’re completely set.
Step 11
When they’re ready, gently peel the chocolate trees off the parchment paper.
Step 12
These charming treats are perfect for decorating cakes or adding a festive touch to your holiday desserts.
Step 13
Enjoy the sweet satisfaction of your delicious creations!.
