Making Chocolate Leaves

These can be made by brushing a coating of molten chocolate onto the underside of a leaf (preferably not of a poisonous leaf). Small leaves are often more suitable as the chocolate leaf will become more delicate the larger the leaf. The leaves should also have prominent veins that will show up better. Rose leaves can be ideal, but make sure that the leaves are washed thoroughly first.

Once the chocolate has cooled gently peel the leaf away, starting at the tip of the leaf.
