Easy star-shaped cupcake toppers that instantly dress up desserts for Hanukkah, Shabbat, and beyond.
Total Time:40 minutes
Yield:About 30 toppers, depending on size
Ingredients
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips (or chopped bar chocolate)
Parchment paper
Piping bag or Ziploc bag
Instructions
Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Place piping bag or Ziploc inside a tall glass and fold the edges over the rim to keep it open.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each round, until smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat; it’ll seize or burn and turn grainy.
Spoon the melted chocolate into your bag, snip a tiny hole in the tip, and pipe as many star-shaped designs as you can directly onto the parchment. Don’t worry if they’re not all perfect!
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until fully hardened. Once set, gently peel the stars off the parchment and press them vertically into frosted cupcakes or cakes. Serve!
