Decorating with Chocoloate

Chocolate Slivers

• Temper chocolate and leave it on a marble surface until it dries and sets. Then pull a large knife across its surface to produce long chocolate curls.

Chocolate Leaves

• The most important is to choose leaves that are non-toxic. Rinse carefully and dry. When clean, use a small paint brush and coat one side with a thin layer of melted chocolate. leave it to set, then give it another coating. Chill the coated leaves in the refrigerator for a few minutes, then carefully peel the leaves away from the chocolate. 

Grating/ Curling Chocolate

• Bring a bar of chocolate to room temperature then shave its side with a vegetable peeler to form small chocolate curls. Or, grate the bar using a grater with large holes.
