We have the perfect holiday dessert for you all today.\u00a0 Last week when I attended a luncheon\/fashion show<\/a>, I showed you a photo of the dessert which was adorable and delicious. \u00a0It reminded me of chocolate cups that I made for a luncheon chez moi many years ago. \u00a0At that time, I swore I would never make them again. \u00a0I think I was reacting to the chocolate on the kitchen ceiling. \u00a0Anyhow, I made them again today just for you. \u00a0Well, you don’t actually get to eat the ones I made, but you’ll see how easy it would be to make your own.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

This dessert makes a really pretty presentation, so if you need to impress someone, this could be the way to do it.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

This is what you do: \u00a0First, buy some chocolate chips ( I used dark chocolate) and some small balloons. \u00a0Blow up as many balloons as you will need to make the number of cups you will need. \u00a0I made just two – one for Mr. Right and one for me. \u00a0Be sure not to make them too large. \u00a0Picture the bottom being the size of a bowl. Then spray a cooking spray on the bottom of the balloon to keep the chocolate from sticking.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Choco<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Next, melt your chocolate either in a double boiler or in the microwave. \u00a0Be sure to melt it slowly, or it will turn into one solid rock of chocolate. \u00a0Not good…..<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Choco<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Then gently brush the melted chocolate onto the balloon using a pastry brush.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Choco<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Put a dollop of chocolate on a plate and place the chocolate bottom of the balloon on it. \u00a0This will create a little stand for your bowl. Refrigerate until the chocolate is nice and solid.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Choco<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

When the chocolate is ready, pop the balloon. \u00a0Voila!!! \u00a0You have a chocolate bowl.\u00a0 (This is my Norman Bates kills a balloon shot).<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Now load it up with the ice cream of your choice and any other toppings you crave. \u00a0I used strawberry ice cream, whipped cream, and a strawberry on top. \u00a0(It’s Mr. Right’s favorite fruit). Children can do all of these steps with adult supervision. \u00a0Be careful when applying the chocolate to the balloon. \u00a0If the balloon is blown up too much, it could pop. \u00a0That’s how the chocolate ended up on my ceiling the first time I made them.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have a wonderful holiday week-end. \u00a0We are going to do some bicycle riding, catch up on some movies, and hopefully, I can get Mr. Right to rest. \u00a0The man works way too hard.<\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Take care.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
