Chocolate Kinder Christmas Trees (Print Version)

Stacked mini chocolate bars topped with sprinkles and candy stars for festive holiday fun.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chocolate Bars

01 - 24 mini Kinder chocolate bars (or similar)

→ Chocolate Drizzle

02 - 5.3 oz dark or milk chocolate, chopped
03 - 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)

→ Decorations

04 - 3 tablespoons festive sprinkles or edible glitter
05 - 8 mini chocolate stars or candy stars

# How-To Steps:

01 - Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - Unwrap the mini chocolate bars. For each tree, stack three bars: one whole, one broken in half overlapped to form a triangle, and one more on top for height to resemble a tree.
03 - Place each stacked tree on the prepared tray, spacing them apart.
04 - Melt the chopped chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
05 - Generously drizzle the melted chocolate over each stacked tree using a spoon or piping bag to create a festive branches effect.
06 - Immediately sprinkle festive decorations and top each tree with a chocolate or candy star before the drizzle sets.
07 - Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate is set.
08 - Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They look store-bought fancy but honestly require almost no skill, which means zero kitchen stress.
  • Kids actually want to help build them, turning prep time into family entertainment.
  • The whole thing comes together in under 20 minutes, perfect for last-minute holiday panic.
02 -
  • The chocolate needs to be drizzled while still warm enough to flow but not so hot it melts the Kinder bars into a sad puddle—test it on your finger first if you're nervous.
  • Decorating is a two-person job if you want to avoid the sprinkles sliding off; one person drizzles while the other immediately adds sparkle and a star.
03 -
  • If your chocolate seizes or gets too thick, add a tiny drizzle of coconut oil and stir gently—it usually comes back to life without needing to start over.
  • Using a piping bag instead of a spoon gives you more control and makes the whole thing feel a bit more intentional, but honestly, a spoon creates the prettiest rustic drizzle anyway.
