Chocolate Kinder Christmas Trees (Printable)

Whimsical stacks of mini chocolates drizzled with melted chocolate, perfect for festive 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)

→ Decorations

04 - 3 tbsp festive sprinkles or edible glitter
05 - 8 mini chocolate stars 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 and overlapped to form a triangle, and one more on top for height or shape as desired.
03 - Place the stacked bars on the prepared tray, spaced apart.
04 - Melt the 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 tree stack using a spoon or piping bag to create 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 -
  • They look impossibly fancy but take barely twenty minutes from start to table, which means less stress and more time enjoying the season.
  • Kids can genuinely help with every step—stacking, drizzling, sprinkling—and actually feel like they've made something worth eating.
  • A single batch yields eight trees, perfect for gifting, sharing at parties, or keeping a few for yourself when the mood strikes.
02 -
  • Never rush the chilling step—I learned this the hard way when a tree started leaning because the chocolate hadn't fully set and gravity had other plans.
  • If your chocolate seizes or becomes grainy while melting, it means water got into it; start fresh because there's no salvaging seized chocolate.
  • Work with room-temperature bars—they're more stable for stacking than cold ones straight from the fridge, which tend to shift unpredictably.
03 -
  • If you don't have a piping bag, a fork works perfectly for creating drizzles—just dip it in the melted chocolate and let it fall naturally across the trees.
  • Let kids help with the decorating stage because their enthusiasm and creative energy transforms this from a kitchen task into a celebration, and honestly, the trees taste better when they've had a hand in making them.
