- Fall leaf sprinkles/decorations
- small sandwich bag or decorating bag
- parchment paper
- cupcake liners in Fall patterns or colors

How to: Chocolate Trees, a Fall Cupcake Decorating Idea
- Microwave the candy melts per the package instructions and place into a decorating or small plastic bag. Snip off the corner of the bag and squeeze the chocolate onto the parchment paper forming the outline of a tree with small branches. Be sure not to make the trees much taller than 2 inches otherwise they might topple over on the cupcakes. Also, take note to make the tree trunks thick so they’re sturdy.
- Once the tree has been piped, sprinkle Fall leaves onto the chocolate (while still wet). Make between 20-24 trees (a couple will break during assembly). Allow the trees to set (~30 minutes). You can put them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to cool faster.
