you know...it's been years ago...and not completely off subject. I melted some chocolate chips (back in the days of using double boiler on stove vs microwave) and dipping the back sides (previously washed!) non-poisonous leaves - just dipping to cover back of leaf only. Then placed in frig to harden. After very hard, remove from frig and peeled off the leaf. Perfect chocolate leaves resulted. Used them to decorate my mom's Mother's Day cake. BUT could do something along those lines with the kids...we could come up with some excuse. Still have forsithia bush out in the backyard producing more of those same leaves
