Originally, I did this DIY project for Easter, but I never got around to actually posting about it until, well, now?! However, it worked out perfectly since Mothers Day is this weekend! And let's be honest...what mother wouldn't want ice cream on her special day in a bowl made of chocolate? Or actually, anyone for that matter?! So without further adieu here was how I made 'em...
All you need is (found all my items at walmart):
balloons, candy melts, sprinkles, & of course icecream :-)
Melt you chocolates until nice and smooooooth...
Take four balloons and blow them up so they fit nicely in your hand...
Then dip the bottom half in the choclatey goodness...
place on wax paper (on a 9x13 pan) to let dry.
Once they are dry...its time to POP those balloons! (make sure the chocolate is totally hard)
Next, carefully peel your balloons out of the balloons (make sure not to poke a hole in your bowls!)
and here they are...so pretty and pink :-)
Now, if you want to add sprinkles, simply dip the edges of the bowls in water and roll the edges like this:
Lastly, for the best part...add your choice of ice cream and enjoy EVERY LAST BITE (literally!)
I love this, and have done it before with milk chocolate! I found it helpful to spray the balloons with a little no-stick spray, so that they are easily removed when the chocolate hardens. Just a little tip!

I've always wanted to make these, but I have always wondered if the chocolate melts in your hands (while you hold it)?
ReplyDeleteThis looks so amazingly awesome, I feel the urge to get up and try it. Too bad that means going to the grocery store.... but I'll definitely try it out sometime!
