Chocolate Kinder Christmas Trees (Printable Version)

Whimsical chocolate stacks topped with festive decorations, perfect holiday treats that kids can help create.

# Ingredient List:

→ Chocolate Bars

01 - 24 mini Kinder chocolate bars or similar

→ Chocolate Drizzle

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

→ Decorations

04 - 3 tablespoons festive sprinkles or edible glitter
05 - 8 mini chocolate or candy stars

# How to Make:

01 - Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - Unwrap all mini Kinder bars. For each tree, stack three bars by placing one whole bar, one half bar overlapped to form a triangle, and one more on top to add height or arrange as a tree shape.
03 - Place the stacked bars spaced apart on the prepared tray.
04 - Melt the chopped chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in 20-second bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
05 - Drizzle the melted chocolate generously over each stacked tree using a spoon or piping bag to mimic branches.
06 - Immediately sprinkle festive sprinkles over the drizzle and top each tree with a mini chocolate or candy star before the chocolate sets.
07 - Refrigerate the decorated trees for 10 to 15 minutes until the drizzle is firm.
08 - Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Zero baking required, which means your kitchen stays calm and your confidence stays high.
  • Kids can genuinely help without you holding your breath the entire time.
  • They look fancy enough to gift or display, but taste like the pure joy of melted chocolate.
02 -
  • Chocolate seizes into grainy, unusable texture if even a drop of water gets in—keep your bowl and utensils bone-dry, and use coconut oil rather than water to thin things out.
  • Adding decorations too late is the only real mistake you can make here; do it while the chocolate is still wet, or they'll simply not stick.
03 -
  • Chill your Kinder bars in the freezer for 10 minutes before stacking if your kitchen is warm—cold chocolate is firmer and less likely to shift around.
  • If your piping bag feels intimidating, a regular teaspoon works just as beautifully and feels less precious.
