directions

  • Combine all ingredients well, except chocolate, using as much food coloring as desired.
  • While 'dough' is still warm and pliable, take about a tablespoon amount (decide how large you would like your trees) and with fingertips, shape into an upsidedown cone/a standing fir-tree.
  • Do not try rolling. Squeeze your amount firmly so it adheres toegther, then stand one end on work surface and shape into a fir-tree, pressing fairly firmly.
  • Do not make tip too sharp in order to accomodate the decorative ball later.
  • When all the 'dough' is shaped, melt chocolate and dip tops of trees.
  • While chocolate is still soft, place silver ball on the tip.
  • A thought: would white chocolate look like snow?

  1. This was a bit messy, but super tasty! I put dark chocolate and then white chocolate for a neat color contrast. This is a very cute and yummy dessert for the holidays or any day!
     
  2. They taste great and looked nice but it was pretty messy, definately not something for my son to help with. I used green food dye and red & green sprinkles and chilled them when I was done. If someone can let me know how to make rolling and dipping them less messy I could definately give a higher rating. Maybe next time I'll just make them into little balls to dip into the chocolate.

Tweaks

  1. Added an extra ~1/4 cup of half-and-half to get the right consistency for the dough

Raised by missionary parents and now on a missions program with my husband, I've been all over Europe, though not to every country, yet! Its been fun figuring out what I can do with the native groceries...once I've figured out what they all are:) Fortunately they don't differ too much throughout Europe. <a href="http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm29/pixyolive/?action=view¤t=121036.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm29/pixyolive/121036.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Hubby in Troyes, Fr..an enchanting town! I am fascinated by each culture's food traditions. I always thought I was half-way brave when it came to trying out different dishes until I saw an old "Bizarre Foods - Phillippines". Wow. I haven't posted many recipes because I realised I don't measure out everything the same way each time and so don't have many recipes that are precise enough to post. I sure enjoy trying all yours! <a href="http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm29/pixyolive/?action=view¤t=180153.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm29/pixyolive/180153.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> My husband I've been able to find EVERYthing I need here on Zaar. Where I live now, I can hardly get anything, so I have to make everything from scratch. (I mean non-essentials like pancake syrup, guacamole, papier mache glue, bbq sauce, etc) <a href="http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm29/pixyolive/?action=view¤t=170824.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm29/pixyolive/170824.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Gotta love the kitties...one of our foster cats <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC10-5thcourse.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/My-3-Chefs%20banners/my3chefs2008Small.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e110/flower753/Food/my3chefsnov2008.jpg">
