Chocolate Flower Cups

I was first introduced to these chocolate flower cups at a Church Young Women's meeting. I knew I would have to try them myself sometime. So I used the hubby's birthday party as my excuse to try them out. The best part is that they are so simple for how impressive they look.

First blow up as many water balloons as you need. One to make each cup. Then, melt some candy melts or chocolate in a bowl. If you want multiple colors drizzle the different color chocolate on top. Take a balloon and place it in the chocolate. Tilt the balloon back and forth 4 times to create the petals.

Pull the balloon out of the chocolate and place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. After the sheet is full of balloons stick it in the fridge for 5 minutes.

Cut the top of the balloon with scissors.

Carefully holding the base of the cup without putting too much pressure on the petals, pull the balloon away from the chocolate.

I found that some of the balloons would rip and get stuck to the chocolate. I simple scraped the balloons out. If any holes are made in the bottom of the cup, fill it with a little more melted chocolate and refreeze.

Then fill them with something delicious. I used pudding and fruit. You could also use ice cream, just fruit or any other yummy concoction. Make sure you let me know if you try it yourself!
