1. Prepare Your Workspace

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This will prevent the chocolate from sticking and make cleanup easy.
• Arrange lollipop sticks on the tray, spacing them a few inches apart to allow room for the tree shapes.

2. Melt the Chocolate

• Break the chocolate into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl.
• Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted. Alternatively, use a double boiler for gentle, even melting.

3. Create the Tree Shapes

• Transfer the melted chocolate into a piping bag. If you don’t have one, use a plastic bag and snip off a small corner.
• Pipe the chocolate onto the sticks in zigzag patterns, starting wider at the base and narrowing towards the top to form a tree shape.

4. Decorate the Trees

• Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your chosen decorations over the trees. Add a candy star or edible glitter at the top for a festive touch.

5. Set the Chocolate

• Place the tray in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely hardened.

6. Serve and Enjoy!

• Once set, carefully remove the trees from the parchment paper. Arrange them on a platter or wrap them individually for gifts.
