Chocolate Bowls

See these fabulous little goodies:



They just won Stephanie the 605th spot on my Google Reader! I know. It is a sickness. But I do it for you. Okay, not really. I would do it anyways, I just use you all as an excuse!

But back to the bowls! They SCREAMS "please use me for your son's birthday party"! Or ANY party really! And you will NEVER guess how she made them! She dipped balloons into melted chocolate! Then she let them sit (on parchment sprayed with cooking spray) and when they had set, she popped the balloon and they came right out! Pretty clever! And a LOT easier than using the old 'coat a bowl with chocolate and hope it doesn't fall apart when you try to get it to come out' method!

I think white chocolate with fruit would be pretty perfect for Easter too!

  1. M-Kay, so may be sounding like an idiot here, but I would be scared the the balloon would pop with the hot chocolate on it. Can you imagine what a delicious mess that would be!

    And I'm not sure what you meant about having Reader show you how many comments you get.

  8. Oh it is too late at night to be reading about something as delicious as chocolate bowls. How great! I love that you could make them simple, or fancy them up for a ladies' get-together. Like fill them with strawberries and drizzle with chocolate...yum!

  11. My only concern is if the chocolate will taste like plastic on the inside...not that most people will mention it with a bunch of sugar loaded into it! ;)

  12. I agree with the comment on the taste of the chocolate. Is there a certain kind of balloon you use? Or do you coat the balloon with something first? I definitely don't want balloon flavor chocolate!

  13. Nope, it doesn't effect the taste of the chocolate at all.
