Decorating chocolate: the best ideas
Baking and decorating cookies for Christmas is not only great fun for children, it is just as much fun with chocolate. We present you the most beautiful ideas for decorating your personal favorite chocolate.
How to decorate your own chocolate
We show you how to decorate your favorite chocolate and which ingredients are particularly suitable.
- Before decorating, you must first melt your chocolate in a water bath. It is best to mix ordinary chocolate with chocolate coating so that the chocolate has a nice consistency at the end.
- Then pour the liquid mass onto a tray or a suitable chocolate mold and the decorating can begin.
- There are no limits to your imagination, both with regard to the ingredients and the arrangement. The decoration should only be dry. Fresh fruits or liquids of all kinds are therefore not suitable.
- For example: Chocolate with different colors, dried fruit, but also nuts, seeds, sea salt, spices such as dried oregano, cookies, pretzels, sugar sprinkles, gummy bears, grated coconut, coffee beans or crackers and petals are a nice decoration.
- Just try it out in different combinations and maybe discover a new favorite chocolate.
- You can also get creative with the arrangement. For example, write a small message out of the ingredients or put a small picture.
- In the end, press your decorative elements lightly into the chocolate so that everything holds well. When the chocolate is completely dry, you can break it into pieces and enjoy it yourself or give it away nicely wrapped.
