Instructions
- Using fresh sprigs of edible greenery, such as summer savoury or kale, create a circular pattern on the board. I used cedar branches that I cut from one of our cedar trees. They were washed very well and dried in a salad spinner. Whatever greenery you choose to use, position the sprigs so that the leafy end is pointing out from the center of the board. The wreath size will be determined by how much berries and chocolate you will be piling onto it, so size the wreath accordingly. It’s always best to make the wreath a little bigger so that the green leaves are not completely covered. Once you’re happy with positioning those, it’s time to assemble the wreath.
- Start by laying down alternating chocolates. Work your way around the cedar wreath alternating between the white and milk chocolate Lindt balls, the white, milk, and dark chocolate Ferrero Rocher balls, and of course, the square white and dark chocolate Ghiradelli chocolates. Don’t use up all of the balls yet, save a few to fill in the gaps later. Next, go in and sporadically place in some of the Toffifee chocolates.
- When you’re happy with that, it’s time to add in the berries. Start with the strawberries first, because they are the biggest. Place them around at random, followed by the blackberries, raspberries, and finally, the blueberries. The blueberries make great gap fillers! Finally, tuck in the reserved chocolate balls and you’re done! Now, stand back and admire that work of art that you just created! Gorgeous isn’t it!?
