Chocolate Kinder Christmas Trees (Printable version)

Stacked mini chocolates drizzled with smooth chocolate and festive sprinkles for a joyful holiday sweet.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chocolate Bars

01 - 24 mini Kinder chocolate bars

→ Chocolate Drizzle

02 - 5.3 oz dark or milk chocolate, chopped
03 - 1 tsp coconut oil (optional)

→ 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 and for each treat, stack three bars: one whole, one broken in half overlapped to form a triangle, and one more bar on top to resemble a tree shape.
03 - Place the stacked bars on the lined tray, spacing them evenly.
04 - Melt chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in 20-second microwave bursts, stirring until smooth.
05 - Drizzle the melted chocolate generously over each stacked tree using a spoon or piping bag to create a festive branches effect.
06 - Immediately add sprinkles and top each tree with a chocolate or candy star before the drizzle sets.
07 - Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes until set.
08 - Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No oven required—just melted chocolate and a few minutes, making it perfect for those times you want to create something celebratory without the stress.
  • Kids genuinely want to help with every step, which means you get a moment of peace while they're focused on arranging chocolate bars.
  • They look like you spent way more effort than you actually did, which is honestly the best kind of kitchen magic.
02 -
  • Don't skip the coconut oil if your chocolate feels thick or grainy when melting—it truly makes the difference between a smooth drizzle and something that looks chunky and broken.
  • Add your decorations while the chocolate is still wet; once it cools, nothing sticks, and you'll end up with naked trees and frustrated fingers.
03 -
  • Keep the melted chocolate warm but not hot—if it starts to firm up while you're drizzling, just warm it gently for 10 seconds and it'll flow again.
  • Mix and match chocolate types; dark chocolate drizzle over milk chocolate bars creates a sophisticated flavor contrast that people notice without knowing why the trees taste so good.
