How To Make Valentine’s Day Chocolate Tree

Materials

2 bags Hershey Kisses Valentine theme

Straight  pins

Styrofoam cone – size of your choice – I use a 6″ by 3″ cone

Aluminium Foil (optional)

Directions

This is a very simple and straightforward DIY Valentine’s Day food craft once the materials are purchased.

The design of the Valentine’s Day Hershey Kisses Tree is up to your imagination and creativity.

There is a bit of setup involved, but once the assembly line begins the Valentine’s Day craft will move along quickly.

  1. Open bags of Hershey kisses and sort kisses by color (and try not to eat too many …)
  2. Arrange straight pins on a table or in a pin cushion for easy access.
  3. Optional, but suggested is to wrap the cone with aluminium foil. This will prevent any white styrofoam from showing through the “kisses”.
  4. After deciding upon a design or feel free to have no design in mind and wing it – use the assembly line method of assembling materials prior to placing the kisses on the Styrofoam tree.
  5. Take one straight pin and poke the pin through the top of the foil on the Hershey kiss; the top of the kiss has a gathering of foil below the kiss ribbon – that is your target.
  6. Assemble of few of the kisses before arranging on the tree as this makes it easier to visualize a design,
  7. Begin sticking each kiss into the cone. Stagger the placement of the kisses so the cone does not show through.
  8. Kisses in mass are a little heavy and can unbalance the cone until the cone is fully filled; I balance the cone against a solid object while filling the cone with kisses. Once filled the cone will stand alone and is balanced.

Yum! Easy DIY Valentine's Day Chocolate Tree! Edible centerpiece for all ages.

Your edible Valentine’s Day craft is now ready! This makes a fun and sparkly centerpiece with the addition of a place mat, candles and themed table settings.

Valentine’s Day Kids Craft

This is a fun DIY or crafts for appropriately aged children taking into consideration the safety of straight pins and their age.

With kids I let them pick their own design and don’t worry about staggering the kisses so much. Honestly any “design” works.

Enjoy the fun is watching their creativity shine through with the colors and design created.

Decorating Tip

This step is optional, but I wrap aluminum foil around the Styrofoam cone to provide a complementary surface as the color of the kisses complement silver and are shiny.

Savings Tip

Start checking your local dollar store for all the materials. One of my favorite dollar stores has a floral section which usually has Styrofoam cones in stock.

This is the time to also keep your eye out for pre Valentine’s Day sales on Hershey kisses at the grocery store or drugstore. Beginning in January I always find 2 for 1 deals on chocolate kisses.
