Directions
Decorative Chocolate Leaves, A recipe found in Chatelaine Food Express Quickies Zaar’s ingredient list won’t let me list small fresh leaves as the ingredient so I’ve used basil leaves Make sure your leaves are NON-POISONEOUS, pesticide free, unsprayed, clean and dry You’ll also need a pastry brush, new small paint brush, butter knife or small spatula for spreading , Such a nice way to fancy up a dessert or even to have a small tray set out with coffee after a dinner party I have done this before but this time I was having major problems not the recipes fault it was just one of those days LOL I tried doing sage leaves and those just do not work LOL Made for 1, 2, 3 Hit Wonders Tag Feb 2009
