Trees, stars & snowflakes

A Christmas tree chocolate mould is the easiest way to make chocolate gifts for the festive season. This category brings together a dozen moulds with Christmas trees, stars and snowflakes: bar moulds for chocolate greetings, praline moulds for filled treats and figures for the plate or the cake. If you are new to casting, a bar is the easiest place to start.

Bars, pralines and decorations

• Bar moulds: Christmas tree bar, star bar, Christmas tree casting mould and soap-bubble Christmas tree.
• Praline moulds: Christmas tree for 30 pralines and star for 15 pralines.
• Figures: Christmas tree, Diamant Christmas tree, star, stars & trees and Christmas tree Merry Christmas.
• Decorations: the mould for snowflake decorations.

Tips from our kitchen

A bar only works with properly tempered couverture: it shines, snaps cleanly and almost releases from the mould on its own. Every step is explained in our guide tempering chocolate correctly. Fill the mould to just below the rim and scrape off the excess with a palette knife for a neat edge.

For pralines, cast the shells first: fill the mould, turn it over and let it drain. Once the shell has set, pipe in ganache or gianduja and seal with couverture. Cast the snowflakes thinly; they make lovely decorations for cakes, desserts or mugs of hot chocolate.

Giving chocolate greetings

A tree or star bar is a personal gift for neighbours, teachers or colleagues. In a clear bag with a ribbon, the motif shows straight away. The star pralines fit into small boxes and round off any bag of biscuits.
