Chocolate Kinder Christmas Trees (Printer-Friendly)

Stacked chocolate bars drizzled with rich chocolate and decorated for festive holiday celebrations.

# What You Need:

→ Chocolate Bars

01 - 24 mini Kinder chocolate bars or similar

→ Chocolate Drizzle

02 - 5.3 oz dark or milk chocolate, chopped
03 - 1 tsp coconut oil, optional for smoother melting

→ Decorations

04 - 3 tbsp festive sprinkles or edible glitter
05 - 8 mini chocolate stars or candy stars for tree tops

# How to Cook:

01 - Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - Unwrap all Kinder bars. For each tree, stack three bars: one whole, one broken in half overlapped to form a triangle, and one more on top to add height or desired tree shape.
03 - Place the stacked bars on the prepared tray, spacing them apart evenly.
04 - Melt chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in 20-second bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
05 - Generously drizzle the melted chocolate over each stacked tree using a spoon or piping bag to mimic branches.
06 - Immediately sprinkle festive decorations and top each tree with a chocolate or candy star before the drizzle sets.
07 - Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate is set.
08 - Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in twenty minutes with zero baking required, so you can make them the morning of a party and still feel impressive.
  • Kids genuinely help and create their own masterpieces instead of just watching you work.
  • The stacking and decorating part is so satisfying it barely feels like cooking—more like building something beautiful you happen to eat.
02 -
  • Don't skip the coconut oil—I learned this after scraping seized chocolate into the trash; it genuinely makes the difference between smooth drizzle and grainy mess.
  • Decorate before the chocolate fully sets or the sprinkles won't stick; the warm chocolate is your best friend here.
03 -
  • Temper your expectations about perfect symmetry—crooked, homemade-looking trees are exponentially more charming than perfectly balanced ones.
  • If your chocolate seizes up, add a teaspoon of shortening (not butter) and stir gently; this saved me countless batches.
