Prep Time: 30 min.
Try Grape Chocolate Roses for an elegant, surprisingly simple dessert with only two ingredients.
Choose similarly sized grapes in an oblong shape, halve them, and place them on top of a dark chocolate (or milk chocolate) disc. You'll need a few smaller grapes for the center. Top with a fresh basil or mint leaf and allow to set.
Serve these beautiful chocolate roses as a delicious after-dinner snack, or top them on cupcakes and cakes.
If you want to go all in, make a giant chocolate rose bark for special occasions (perfect for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and birthdays).
They even make great gifts - stick them in a transparent candy bag to share the love.
