Chocolate Kinder Christmas Trees (Printable)

Whimsical stacks of mini Kinder bars drizzled with melted chocolate and topped with sprinkles and stars.

# What You Need:

→ Chocolate Bars

01 - 24 mini Kinder chocolate bars

→ 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:

01 - Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - Unwrap the mini Kinder bars. For each tree, stack three bars: one whole bar, one bar broken in half arranged in an overlapping triangle shape, and one more bar placed on top to create height resembling a tree.
03 - Place each assembled stack on the parchment-lined tray, ensuring even spacing.
04 - Melt the chopped chocolate with coconut oil (if using) in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in 20-second microwave bursts, stirring until smooth.
05 - Using a spoon or piping bag, generously drizzle melted chocolate over each stack to mimic the branches of a tree.
06 - Immediately sprinkle festive decorations and place a chocolate or candy star atop each tree before the drizzle sets.
07 - Refrigerate the decorated stacks for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate drizzle is firm.
08 - Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No baking skills required, just stacking and drizzling like you're decorating a edible art project.
  • Kids genuinely want to help make these, which means you get actual assistance instead of just mess.
  • They look impressive on a plate but honest enough that nobody expects restaurant-level technique.
02 -
  • That coconut oil is not optional if you want silky drizzles instead of thick, reluctant chocolate that barely flows from the spoon.
  • If your chocolate seizes and becomes grainy, it's not ruined—just add a splash of milk and keep stirring, and it'll come back to life.
  • The moment between drizzling and setting is tiny but crucial; wait too long and your sprinkles won't stick, but move too fast and you'll burn your fingers grabbing the stars.
03 -
  • Keep your parchment paper slightly wrinkled or stick a tiny piece of tape under each stack so nothing slides around while you're drizzling.
  • If you're serving these at a party, assemble everything but drizzle and decorate right before guests arrive so the chocolate looks fresh and gleaming.
