Gradually add 1 cup white sugar mixing until well blended. Add eggs, one at a

bowl set over boiling water, stir until smooth. Brush real non-toxic plant
leaves (such as orange leaves) on one side with melted chocolate. Freeze until
firm and then peel off leaves. Freeze chocolate leaves until needed.
