Chocolate Kinder Christmas Trees (Printable)

Stacked mini Kinder bars drizzled with chocolate and topped with festive sprinkles for holiday fun.

# Components:

→ Chocolate Bars

01 - 24 mini Kinder chocolate bars

→ 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 or candy stars

# Method:

01 - Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
02 - Unwrap all chocolate bars. For each tree, stack three bars: one whole, one broken in half and overlapped to form a triangle, and one more on top to create height, arranging to resemble a tree.
03 - Place the stacked bars on the prepared tray, spacing them evenly.
04 - In a heatproof bowl, melt chocolate and coconut oil together over a pot of simmering water or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
05 - Drizzle the melted chocolate generously over each chocolate stack using a spoon or piping bag to mimic branches.
06 - Immediately decorate with sprinkles and place one chocolate or candy star atop each tree before the drizzle sets.
07 - Chill the decorated stacks in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
08 - Serve chilled or at room temperature as desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's so easy that even young kids feel like they're truly baking something special.
  • The whole thing comes together in under 20 minutes, which is a miracle when you're juggling holiday planning.
  • Stacking chocolate bars feels playful instead of pressured, turning dessert prep into actual fun.
  • You can absolutely customize them with whatever sprinkles or toppings you have on hand.
02 -
  • Chocolate seized from too much heat is nearly impossible to save—low and gentle heat over simmering water is your friend, or microwave it in short bursts and patience.
  • The chocolate needs to still be warm and soft when you add sprinkles, or they won't stick; if it cools too fast, gently reheat it for a few seconds.
  • These can be made a day or two ahead and stored in an airtight container in a cool place, which makes them perfect for stress-free holiday planning.
03 -
  • If you don't have coconut oil, a tiny bit of butter or even neutral oil helps the chocolate flow more smoothly, but truly it's optional if your chocolate is good quality.
  • Arrange your Kinder bars and toppings before you melt the chocolate so you're not scrambling while the chocolate cools—mise en place saves the day every single time.
