Chocolate Kinder Christmas Trees (Print View)

Holiday stacks of Kinder bars topped with melted chocolate and festive decorations, ideal for seasonal gatherings.

# 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 stars or candy stars

# Directions:

01 - Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - Unwrap Kinder bars and stack three bars per tree: one whole bar, one broken in half and overlapped to form a triangle, then one more bar on top to create height, shaping each stack like a Christmas tree.
03 - Place each stacked chocolate tree on the lined tray, spacing them apart.
04 - Melt chopped chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
05 - Use a spoon or piping bag to generously drizzle the melted chocolate over each stacked tree, simulating branches.
06 - Immediately sprinkle festive sprinkles over the drizzle and top each tree with a mini chocolate or candy star before setting.
07 - Refrigerate the assembled trees for 10 to 15 minutes until the drizzle has set.
08 - Serve the chocolate trees chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They look professionally decorated but come together faster than you can melt chocolate, which means last-minute gatherings suddenly feel manageable.
  • Kids genuinely want to help with every step, and the only mess is happy chocolate smudges on their faces.
  • Each tree is slightly different depending on how you stack and drizzle, so they feel personal even when you're making eight of them.
02 -
  • If you let the chocolate get too hot or stay liquid too long before adding sprinkles, they'll slide right off into a chocolatey puddle on your tray—so move quickly once you start drizzling.
  • Stacking the bars on the parchment before drizzling makes them so much easier to handle and transfer than trying to move them after they're covered in melted chocolate.
03 -
  • If your chocolate hardens before you finish drizzling, place the bowl back over the double boiler for 30 seconds rather than trying to microwave it again—gentler heat prevents seizing.
  • Store these in an airtight container in a cool place, and they'll stay perfect for up to a week, which means you can make them days ahead of an event without any stress about freshness.
