Chocolate Kinder Christmas Trees

# Components:

→ Chocolate Bars

01 - 24 mini Kinder chocolate bars (or similar)

→ Chocolate Drizzle

02 - 5.3 oz dark or milk chocolate, chopped

03 - 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)

→ Decorations

04 - 3 tbsp festive sprinkles or edible glitter

05 - 8 mini chocolate stars or candy stars

# Directions:

01 - Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

02 - Unwrap all chocolate bars. For each tree, stack three bars: one whole, one broken in half and overlapped to form a triangle, and one more on top to add height, arranging to resemble a tree shape.

03 - Arrange the stacked bars on the prepared tray with space between each.

04 - Melt chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

05 - Using a spoon or piping bag, generously drizzle the melted chocolate over each stacked tree to mimic branches.

06 - Immediately sprinkle festive decorations and top each tree with a chocolate or candy star before the drizzle sets.

07 - Refrigerate the assembled trees for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate drizzle is firm.

08 - Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -

No baking required, just melting and stacking—even kids genuinely feel like pastry chefs.
Comes together in under twenty minutes but looks like you've been planning all week.
The chocolate drizzle conceals happy accidents when stacking isn't perfectly symmetrical.

02 -

Coconut oil is a game changer because melted chocolate alone can seize or become stiff, but that tiny splash keeps it flowing and drizzle-worthy.
Timing matters when decorating—too long after drizzling and the chocolate hardens before sprinkles catch, too soon and they slide into the chocolate lake.
