Step-by-Step Instructions

Modeling Chocolate Starfish

1. To form the starfish, first roll out the modeling chocolate to a ½” thickness. Then cut stars using a star shaped cookie cutter.

2. Pinch each point on the star between two fingers to narrow it into a rounded tentacle. Smooth out each tentacle by rubbing your fingers over it.

3. With melted piping chocolate in a parchment paper cone, pipe five small dots in a pentagon shape in the middle of each starfish. Each point on the pentagon should point to the center of each tentacle.
