How to Make Chocolate Leaves
- 1). Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper.
- 2). Place the chocolate in a small bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat until it melts.
- 3). Wash leaves. Dry well with paper towels.
- 4). Use a pastry brush; a new, small paintbrush; or a butter knife to paint chocolate all over the underside (the veiny side) of the leaves.
- 5). Rest the leaves, painted side up, on the waxed paper. Place cookie sheet in a cool, dry place, or refrigerate briefly until the chocolate is firm.
- 6). Grasp the leaf stem and peel carefully, away from the chocolate. Refrigerate chocolate leaves on the waxed paper until you're ready to use them.
