I'm not sure what I am doing wrong! I have seen some beautiful fall leaves made from candy melts. The suggestions were to use silk leaves that have been washed, coat them with melted chocolate, let cool ( I cooled mine in the freezer), then peel off the chocolate. Sounds easy enough, right? When I peeled off the chocolate, all of my leaves broke. So can someone please share what I am doing wrong, or give advice on a different approach? Thanks!

I use real leaves. I coat the underside where the veins are more prominent. Ivy and rose leaves work well.

I've been doing a little research on this topic, as I'm going to try my first white chocolate leaves in two weeks! I think you need to peel the silk/real leaf away from the chocolate, versus peeling the chocolate from the leaf, KWIM? Hope that makes a difference!
