How to Create a Chocolate Tree

5. Place a row of strawberries on the cone

I always start with a row of strawberries and then a row of chocolate covered strawberries.  I don’t know why, I just like it that way.  But you can be a rebel and start with chocolate strawberries if you want.

Begin by inserting a toothpick into the cone and then placing the strawberry onto the cone.  Don’t insert the toothpick into the strawberry first – it doesn’t have enough resistance to push into the styrofoam.  You’ll have to judge by the size of your strawberries how closely to insert the next toothpick.  Luckily the strawberries vary in size so if you guess wrong you can usually find a strawberry that will work with your toothpick placement.
