The Chocolate Tree

I’ve been wanting to make a chocolate tree for a while and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to make one.

With thanks to LG Australia for sponsoring this video and providing the instaview fridge.

To make a giant chocolate tree you will need

Food items:
600g (21.16 ounces) tempered chocolate, or you swap some of this for compound chocolate especially for joining on the leaves because it sets faster.
chocolate bars of your choice, I used 4 chokitos, 15 boost bars, 4 chocolate coated liquorice sticks
chocolate coated pretzels
mint leaves
watermelon flavoured cloud lollies (green coloured for leaves)
30 freckles or other colourful candy to attach to the tree.
Swirl lollipops for ‘flowers’ in the garden
2 packets of oreos
chocolate gold coins
fairy floss or cotton candy
roll of liquorice
chocolate finger biscuits (for the tree house platform)

Non food items:
sparkly craft foam sheets for the backdrop. I used dark blue for the top of the sky, lighter blue for the sky below the shelf, white for clouds and green for hills.
fake grass
battery operated fairy lights
cake stand (if you don’t have one of there you could make a stand out of strong wire and cover it in foil)

   If I had a home I’d ask for a fridge too so I can make this too. I love chocolate and baking and cooking. My plan is someday to make my own chocolate from the beans… Looks great
