Chocolate Bowls

My whole family LOVES chocolate, so why not create a bowl out of chocolate?

To make a chocolate bowl, you blow up a balloon (depending on the size you want, you may decide to use water balloons).  We washed and dried ours before dipping because we didn't want any balloon germs on our chocolate bowls. ;) On a cookie sheet covered in wax paper, make a foundation for the bowl by spooning some melted chocolate onto the wax paper.  Dip the balloon in the melted chocolate and set balloon on the chocolate base.  Harden in the fridge, pop the balloon, and voila!  You have a chocolate bowl! :)

Unfortunately, it's not quite as easy as it looks. :/ We didn't make the layer of chocolate creating the actual bowl thick enough - I reccomend dipping it twice.  We also didn't let them harden long enough, so it was difficult to get the balloons out without ripping the bowl.  I love this idea, so I'm going to have to try this again and hopefully polish my technique. :)

The Last Word: Great idea - a skill to perfect :)
