Materials:
1 bag each of semisweet chocolate and white
chocolate morsels (chips),
broad leafed herbs such as mint, basil,
celery, etc.

Select your sprigs of leaves in the produce section of your grocery
store or from your garden. Wash leaves thoroughly and pat dry. Melt
chocolate with 2 tsp. of butter, stirring until smooth. Pour chocolate
into small bowls and use a clean small paintbrush. Paint
the underside of the leaves with the chocolate and place on a wax paper
covered cookie sheet. Refrigerate until firm. Slowly pull real leaves
away from chocolate leaves.
