Chocolate Kinder Christmas Trees (Print Version)

Whimsical holiday stacks of chocolate bars with rich drizzle and festive sprinkles, perfect for celebrations.

# 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 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)

→ Decorations

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

# How to Make It:

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 on top to add height, shaping it to resemble a tree.
03 - Place each stacked chocolate tree on the prepared tray, spacing them apart.
04 - Melt the chopped chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
05 - Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle melted chocolate generously over each stacked tree to create a festive branches effect.
06 - Immediately sprinkle festive decorations and place a mini chocolate or candy star atop each tree before the drizzle sets.
07 - Refrigerate the assembled trees for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate drizzle is firm.
08 - Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • They come together in under 20 minutes, leaving you time to actually enjoy the season instead of being stuck in the kitchen.
  • Kids can genuinely help with the stacking and decorating, which means less work for you and actual memories being made.
  • They taste indulgent but feel effortless—no one needs to know you spent more time wrapping presents than making dessert.
02 -
  • Chocolate seizes if even a drop of water gets into it, so keep everything bone-dry and melt it gently—I learned this the hard way the first time I made these and almost ruined an entire batch.
  • Don't skip the parchment paper; it looks like a small detail but it's the difference between trees that slide off the tray and trees that stay put.
03 -
  • Use a piping bag instead of a spoon if you want clean, defined drizzles—but honestly, the messy spoon version has more charm.
  • Keep your chocolate at just the right temperature by adding a bit of coconut oil; it makes everything melt smoother and set with a professional-looking shine.
