You will work quickly from start to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">Fill a medium bowl about halfway &nbsp;with water and add ice cubes. The more ice, the more bumpy surface you have to work with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">If you want more straight twigs, use less to no ice. You can play around with the amount of ice depending on how you are liking your twigs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">Next, set out two large prep trays: one lined with paper towels (to dab off some water) and the other with parchment (to finish drying a setting).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-boulder-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\"><strong>Bag up Tempered Chocolate<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">Pour tempered chocolate into a sealed piping bag or food storage bag with a bottom corner as your piping tip. I\u2019m not picky<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">Twist the end of the bag and carefully hold upside down. Then snip off a bit of the end. The bigger the snip, the thicker the twig. I recommend starting smaller and doing a test run. You can snip more off if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-boulder-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\"><strong>Make Some Twigs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"530\" height=\"530\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Twigs-Choc-IceBowl-530x530l.webp?resize=530%2C530&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Chocolate twigs in ice water\" class=\"wp-image-6627 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Twigs-Choc-IceBowl-530x530l.webp?w=530&amp;ssl=1 530w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Twigs-Choc-IceBowl-530x530l.webp?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Twigs-Choc-IceBowl-530x530l.webp?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Twigs-Choc-IceBowl-530x530l.webp?resize=500%2C500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Twigs-Choc-IceBowl-530x530l.webp?resize=370%2C370&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Twigs-Choc-IceBowl-530x530l.webp?resize=255%2C255&amp;ssl=1 255w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Twigs-Choc-IceBowl-530x530l.webp?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 530px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 530\/530;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">Hover you bag over the water bowl. With firm pressure,  squeeze chocolate to stream over ice cubes and water as you move the bag quickly in a horizontal stroke.&nbsp;The slower you move, the more the chocolate will twist around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">To stop the flow, stop squeezing the bag and move the tip up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">It may take some practice tries to get the twigs you want. It is ok if the twigs fall into the water. They should be firm almost immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">You can easily make a couple twigs at a time. However, you can do one at a time if your aim is to create a twig masterpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-boulder-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\"><strong>Dry &amp; Set<\/strong> Twigs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"530\" height=\"530\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Twigs-Choc-TowelTray-530x530l.webp?resize=530%2C530&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"drying chocolate twigs\" class=\"wp-image-6629 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Twigs-Choc-TowelTray-530x530l.webp?w=530&amp;ssl=1 530w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Twigs-Choc-TowelTray-530x530l.webp?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Twigs-Choc-TowelTray-530x530l.webp?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Twigs-Choc-TowelTray-530x530l.webp?resize=500%2C500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Twigs-Choc-TowelTray-530x530l.webp?resize=370%2C370&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Twigs-Choc-TowelTray-530x530l.webp?resize=255%2C255&amp;ssl=1 255w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Twigs-Choc-TowelTray-530x530l.webp?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 530px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 530\/530;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">With open fingers in a scooping motion, gently lift the set twig (or twigs) out of the water.
