Steps:
- Combine all ingredients well, except chocolate, using as much food coloring as desired.
- While 'dough' is still warm and pliable, take about a tablespoon amount (decide how large you would like your trees) and with fingertips, shape into an upsidedown cone/a standing fir-tree.
- Do not try rolling. Squeeze your amount firmly so it adheres toegther, then stand one end on work surface and shape into a fir-tree, pressing fairly firmly.
- Do not make tip too sharp in order to accomodate the decorative ball later.
- When all the 'dough' is shaped, melt chocolate and dip tops of trees.
- While chocolate is still soft, place silver ball on the tip.
- A thought: would white chocolate look like snow?

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling for ingredients while you're in the middle of baking.
- Follow the Recipe Carefully: Baking is a precise science, so it's important to follow the recipe carefully. Don't substitute ingredients or change the measurements, unless you know exactly what you're doing.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the final product. Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients like butter, eggs, and milk.
- Don't Overmix: Overmixing can lead to tough, dense baked goods. Be careful not to overmix your batter or dough.
- Bake at the Right Temperature: The temperature of your oven is critical for baking. Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before you start baking.
- Don't Open the Oven Door: Opening the oven door during baking can cause the temperature to drop, which can ruin your baked goods. Try to resist the urge to peek!
Conclusion:
Baking is a fun and rewarding experience, but it can also be challenging. By following these tips, you can increase your chances of success in the kitchen. With a little practice, you'll be able to bake delicious treats that will impress your family and friends.
