Many supermarkets are now expanding the availability and variety of their fresh herbs. These herbs are often pre-packaged. Try using a mix of fresh and dried in your recipe and saving a few sprigs for your garnish. A local specialty shop or farmer's market would also carry a variety of fresh herbs. Rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil, mint, and cilantro are particularly beautiful.
Fresh flowers are also an unusual and beautiful decoration.

Carefully wash some non-poisonous leaves. Make sure you have left some of the stem on. Holding the stem, brush the back of the leaf with the melted chocolate.
