Does any one know how to make chocolate roses?
Chocolate Roses


10 ounces of chocolate (chopped chunks or chips)


1/3 cup light corn syrup


Note: the chocolate can be substituted with almond bark, or colored candy disks to create different colored flowers


Melt the chocolate in a microwave for 1 minute. Stir. If chocolate is not completely melted, return to the microwave for 30 seconds at a time and stir until smooth. If you don't have a microwave, place the chocolate in the top of a double broiler over hot water and stir until melted.


When the chocolate is melted, add the corn syrup and blend.


Pour the mixture onto a waxed paper sheet.


Spread the chocolate with your fingers until it's about 1/2 inch thick.


Cover loosely with waxed paper and let it stiffen for at least a couple hours or overnight. The chocolate will become very pliable.


Making a Chocolate Rose:


Have the kids roll 10 marble-sized balls out of the chocolate clay.


Place the balls on a waxed paper sheet, about 1 inch apart.


Place another waxed paper sheet on top. Big or little thumbs can press each marble into a flat disk (about the size of a quarter). Use some pressure!


To form the rose:


Remove 1 disk and curl it into a "teepee" shape, narrow at the top and wider at the bottom.


Wrap the next disk around the opening of the teepee and the third disk at the back of the teepee.


This is the rose bud. Continue adding disks which will look like petals. Continue to layer them to create a rose in bloom.


Roses can be used as edible decorations for a cake or to create a basketful of blooms. They will harden after a few days and can be saved by storing in a cool, dry place.





Hope this helps..
Reply:There are a lot of ways to do make these roses. If you go to the Wilton website (recipes and projects) you can get the recipe for modeling chocolate - which is basically candy melts and corn syrup. The alternate is buying the molds and using just the candy melts. That is the simplest way. You find the molds and other supplies at most craft stores like Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and Joann's.

Reply:I've seen ones made with 2 hershey kisses wrapped in red foil (flat end to flat end), attached to floral wire wrapped with green floral tape. Add a leaf and you're set. Michaels or your local floral studio should have all you need and be able to give you pointers on how to make them as well! Have fun!!
