These chocolate leaves look like a fun project

That’s lovely.

If you have a Michael’s craft store near you and they carry this brand, they are discontinuing Sweet Tooth Fairy candy coating discs because STF can’t sufficiently supply the stores. Bags are usually $4.99. I’ve bought several now for $1.99
 
I did this years ago, and still do it now and then. It is also a fun project with kids. I did this with my boys and their cousins when they were all in elementary school, and it was really fun!
 
Are they still pretty if you don't have the edible luster dust? I'm flush with melting chocolate discs, thanks to Michaels.
 
OK so I found the perfect leaf. Small, beautiful shape, very smooth. And I want to use white chocolate to place a leaf on the side of chocolate pots de creme that are so stupidly easy to make. (I often throw them together for a last-minute meal) I don't know if the leaves are poisonous but will endeavour to find out. The neighbourhood must have thought I was deranged as I started dancing in the street beside this bush of beauties.

I don't do chocolate often. So I wonder if white will present challenges?? Anyone??

This is a bush that I do not recognize. Does anyone have the plant-identifying app?

I did have a plant identification app, but apparently got rid of it. I suspect you can use google lens to identify it though.
 
Another option is Google Image Search

Take a picture of the leaf with your phone.

Open Google Image:

marg, just use white coating chocolate, not couverture chocolate. Coating is designed to harden when it gets cold. Couverture (good candy bars) need to be tempered to harden without bloom or streaking. This brand is carried in most grocery stores in the baking section along with chips. Don't use chips.

This also works beautifully when coating strawberries.

So hard to find. I spent an hour snooping around a supermarket yesterday. Thank you for the advice. I needed it.

I'm going to check on these leaves. I used to have 'PictureThis' but stopped it. (There are so many leaves in this city)
