Chocolate Maple Leaves - Just Paint and Peel – Bakers Brigade
Stock up on these quick and elegant paint and peel chocolate maple leaves while there fresh and lovely leaves everywhere you look.

I did have a plant identification app, but apparently got rid of it. I suspect you can use google lens to identify it though.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?
So hard to find. I spent an hour snooping around a supermarket yesterday. Thank you for the advice. I needed it.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.
