Equipment
- Microwave-safe Bowl
- Plastic sandwich baggie
- Tall cup
- Wax Paper
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 12 Pocky biscuit sticks to 15, chocolate flavor recommended for classic taste
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate melting wafers approx. 3 oz or 85g, or high-quality dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon festive colorful sprinkles to 2 tablespoons
- 6 small star-shaped sprinkles to 8, one for the top of each "tree"
Instructions
- Set Up Your Space: Lay a sheet of wax paper flat on a counter or baking sheet. This creates a non-stick surface for your Pocky trees to dry on.
- Melt the Chocolate: Put the dark chocolate wafers or chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in the microwave for 30-second bursts, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted. Be careful not to burn it.
- Make a Simple Piping Bag: Place a clean plastic sandwich baggie inside a tall cup, folding the top edges over the rim. Spoon all the melted chocolate into this baggie.
- Create Your Trees: Snip a tiny corner off the bottom of the chocolate-filled baggie. Hold a Pocky stick over the wax paper and drizzle the melted chocolate over it in a zigzag pattern, starting thin at the top and widening downwards to form a Christmas tree shape.
- Decorate Instantly: While the chocolate is still wet and shiny, gently sprinkle your colorful festive sprinkles over each chocolate tree. Then, carefully place a small star-shaped sprinkle right at the very top of each tree.
- Let Them Harden: Allow your Pocky Christmas Trees to sit at room temperature for about 15-30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm and completely set. For a quicker set, you can pop them in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes.
- Enjoy Your Treat: Once fully set, gently peel the hardened trees off the wax paper and serve them as a delightful, easy, and healthy-ish holiday snack!
