Ingredients

Instructions

1. Break the chocolate into pieces: Begin by breaking the chocolate into smaller pieces, ensuring they are of uniform size for even melting.

2. Prepare a double boiler: Fill a pan with water and heat it over medium heat to create a gentle simmer.

3. Melt the chocolate: Place the chocolate pieces in a heatproof bowl, ensuring it fits securely over the pan without touching the water. This setup will melt the chocolate gently and prevent it from burning.

4. Double boil the chocolate: Carefully place the bowl of chocolate over the pan of simmering water, making sure no water gets into the chocolate. Stir the chocolate occasionally until it melts completely and becomes smooth and glossy.

5. Line a tray: While the chocolate is melting, line a tray with grease-proof paper, ensuring it’s large enough to accommodate all the chocolate-coated bay leaves.

6. Coat the bay leaves: Once the chocolate has melted, gently dip the back of each bay leaf into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s evenly coated on one side. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated leaf onto the prepared tray with the chocolate side facing up.

7. Chill the chocolate leaves: Place the tray of chocolate-coated bay leaves in the refrigerator and chill them for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set completely.

8. Peel off the bay leaves: After chilling, carefully peel the bay leaves away from the chocolate, revealing beautifully crafted chocolate leaves ready to be enjoyed.

9. Serve and enjoy: Arrange the chocolate leaves on a serving platter and delight in their irresistible combination of flavors and textures. These chocolate leaves are perfect for sharing with friends and family or indulging in a moment of self-care.

📝 Note: Store any leftover chocolate leaves in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, although they are likely to be devoured much sooner!
