It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).


Chocolate chips and corn syrup are all you need to make this "clay" that can be formed into flowers, bows, or whatever other decorations you can dream up for your desserts.
10 ounces chocolate chips
1/3 cup light corn syrup
Note: the chocolate can be substituted with almond bark, or colored with candy disks
Melt the chocolate in a microwave for 1 minute. Stir. If chocolate is not completely melted, return to the microwave for 30 seconds at a time and stir until smooth. If you don't have a microwave, place the chocolate in the top of a double broiler over hot water and stir until melted.
When the chocolate is melted, add the corn syrup and blend. Pour the mixture onto a waxed paper sheet.
Spread the chocolate with your fingers until it's about 1/2-inch thick. Cover loosely with waxed paper and let it stiffen for at least a couple hours or overnight. The chocolate will become very pliable.
Creations will harden after a few days and can be saved by storing in a cool, dry place. Since this recipe is the consistency of modeling clay, you can mold any shape you want.
