Ingredients
  

For the Chocolate Trees
  • 200 grams dark chocolate Opt for high-quality chocolate like Ghirardelli or Callebaut.
  • 50 grams white chocolate The contrast adds visual appeal and sweetness; Baker’s brand recommended.
  • 1/4 cup mini colorful sprinkles The more colorful, the better!
  • 8 pieces pretzel sticks Make sure they are sturdy for tree trunks.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Place 200 grams of dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth (about 1.5 to 2 minutes).
  3. Spoon the melted dark chocolate into a piping bag or zip-top bag and pipe tree shapes onto the parchment paper, approximately 3 inches tall and 2 inches wide, overlapping the bottom with a pretzel stick.
  4. Melt the white chocolate in a separate bowl, stirring frequently until smooth (around 1 minute).
  5. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate trees while they are still wet.
  6. Immediately sprinkle the mini sprinkles over the trees.
  7. Allow the chocolate trees to set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until firm.
  8. Lift the trees from the parchment paper and place them on a festive platter.

Notes

These chocolate trees can be stored at room temperature for up to a week or in the fridge for two weeks. Create these trees a few days in advance as they taste even better after resting. Avoid overheating the chocolate during melting to prevent it from seizing.
