It is easy to make chocolate Christmas trees and they make great toppers for Christmas cakes, cupcakes, or desserts. The finished trees are fragile and melt easily, so I usually wear plastic gloves when handling them.

Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Place chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon melted chocolate into a small resealable plastic bag and cut off a small corner.
Step 3
Pipe Christmas tree shape onto the parchment paper and allow to harden in a cool place overnight.
Step 4
Once the chocolate has hardened, carefully remove chocolate trees from paper and use to decorate Christmas cakes or desserts.
