Christmas Chocolate Trees

Christmas Chocolate Trees are festive, charming edible trees made by coating wafer cones with melted chocolate and decorating them with colorful sprinkles, candies, mini marshmallows, and edible glitter. Easy to make and customizable for various dietary needs, these delightful treats serve as perfect holiday decorations, gifts, or party snacks that bring joy and sweetness to any celebration.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 to 12 chocolate trees

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Quality Chocolate (dark, milk, or white) – amount as needed to coat cones
  • Wafer Cones – 8 to 12 cones
  • Colorful Sprinkles and Candies – 1 cup
  • Mini Marshmallows – 1 cup
  • Edible Glitter or Sugar Dust – 1 tablespoon

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Workspace and Ingredients: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, gather all ingredients nearby, and break your chocolate into small pieces to melt easily.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Using a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate slowly in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
  3. Coat the Wafer Cones: Dip each cone into the melted chocolate to ensure an even coat, or spoon the chocolate over the cone to cover it thoroughly. Let the excess drip off gently.
  4. Add Festive Decorations: Before the chocolate sets, quickly decorate the cones with sprinkles, mini marshmallows, candies, and edible glitter to create vibrant Christmas tree appearances.
  5. Let Them Set: Place the decorated cones upright on parchment paper and allow the chocolate to harden fully at room temperature or in the refrigerator to speed up the process.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cones and candies to avoid condensation on the chocolate.
  • Work quickly to decorate before the chocolate begins to harden for better adhesion.
  • Choose sturdy wafer cones without cracks for best results.
  • Store chocolate trees in a cool, dry place to prevent melting or blooming.
  • Try layering different types of chocolate for a multi-toned effect.
