Directions
In a heat safe bowl combine the chocolate chips, butter, salt, condensed milk, and vanilla. Using the double boiler method, heat your ingredients. Be careful not to let the water touch the bottom of your bowl inside the pot of simmering water. Stir constantly until all the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.
Take off heat immediately and place mixture in the fridge to cool for 20-30 minutes.
The mixture should hold its form but still be moldable.
Form the chocolate mixture into a cone shape and place it on parchment paper. Begin sticking almonds into the bottom of the cone. Move your way up placing each row behind the next in an overlapping pattern until you reach the top.
Place the finished pine cone in the fridge to set up for a minimum of one hour. Makes 15 pinecones. Recipe can be doubled.
