Step-by-Step Instructions
1. To form the starfish, first roll out the modeling chocolate to a ½” thickness. Then cut stars using a star shaped cookie cutter.
2. Pinch each point on the star between two fingers to narrow it into a rounded tentacle. Smooth out each tentacle by rubbing your fingers over it.
