Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 3

5 ounces chocolate coating (see note)
3 1/4 ounces sweet chocolate
2 ounces light corn syrup

Steps:

  • Melt chocolate coating and chocolate over hot water. Remove and add corn syrup. Allow to sit at room temperature overnight.
  • The next day roll the chocolate between sheets of parchment or wax paper as thin as you like and then place in freezer a few seconds. Remove from freezer and cut out chocolate into circles the size of a quarter.
  • Using 4 to 8 circles, shape into petals and attach to form blossom. Return to freezer for 3 or 4 minutes. The flowers will now hold their shape. Using 3- or 4-inch sticks as stems, attach the blossoms to the sticks and insert in flowerpots. Refrigerate until serving time.
