Spoiler Alert! I will be making these little gems for Bella's 2nd Birthday Party in a few weeks. These chocolate cups are super easy and can be made in a variety of colors. Simply purchase your favorite meltable dipping chips from the grocery store, Michael's or Hobby Lobby.
1. You'll need to blow up a number of small balloons to about the size of a coffee cup.
2. Melt your favorite dipping chocolates or chips in a large bowl whose depth of the melted chocolate is approx 3-4 inches deep to ensure the balloons can be dipped to their half mark.
3. Holding where the balloon closes, dip balloon's bottom into the chocolate to coat it. You can also marbleize the chocolate before dipping. Be fun an creative and mix some colors together!
4. Place the balloon on a lined cookie sheet holding it at the top so the excess chocolate starts to settle to create a bottom. The balloon will eventually stand on its own. Repeat the process for as many cups as you'd like to make. Then place the pan into the refrigerator for 5 to 8 minutes. When you remove the pan from the refrigerator, the chocolate surrounding the balloons should be hard.
5. Prick the balloon with a pin to deflate it. Carefully remove from the chocolate cup. If the room is warm, store in the refrigerator before filling.
6. When you're done, you can fill the cups with fruit (berries work well) and whipped cream, chocolate ganache mousse, cold pudding or ice cream.
Enjoy! Super fun to make as well!
