How to Make Chocolate Roses

  1. Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and completely melted. Ensure there are no lumps.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the corn syrup and shortening until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and glossy.
  3. Lightly grease a piece of parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate mixture onto the prepared surface and spread it evenly to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  5. Allow the chocolate to cool slightly until it's no longer glossy, but still pliable (about 15-20 minutes).
  6. Once cool enough to handle, gently knead the chocolate until it becomes smooth and pliable. Add a tiny bit of powdered sugar if it is too sticky.
  7. Shape the chocolate into roses using your fingers or specialized tools. Roll out small balls, then shape them into petals and assemble them into a rose shape.
  8. Place the finished chocolate roses on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  9. Allow the chocolate roses to harden completely in a cool, dry place for at least 2-3 days. Refrigerating can speed up this process but be sure not to let them get too cold.
