For an evening with several, the Pixels bonus chocolate discs allow to distribute the small pieces on a tray. Pocket-size consoles require more handling, but their rectangular shape is cut with a ruler and a knife. The Truffles Mini Manettes are served in bites. If you prefer a piece to slice, look at the retro console gingerbread or the stollen treasure chest, providing cooling before any chocolate finish.

Start with the big shapes: a screen, a directional cross and a few buttons are better than an accumulation of tiny lines. To work with chocolate, keep the bowls and utensils dry and try on baking paper before decorating the cookies. Let the first color be taken before adding the next. A pixel pattern is particularly practical: simple squares remain readable even on a small format, without figurine or fragile structure.

Questions Before You Start

Do I need a console shaped cookie cutter?

Pocket-size consoles: the card provides rectangles cut with the ruler and the knife. The corners are slightly rounded and the details are drawn with chocolate on the cooled biscuit.

How can you prevent the two chocolates from mixing?

Works with two containers and two separate utensils. Let the white background take before tracing the black details, then leave the cookies flat until the decor no longer marks to the touch.
