Even though we didn’t buy a lot of chocolate for the kids, they still received lots from other people…and there is A LOT!! And to be honest my will power is lacking these days..

I have the answer on what to do with the chocolate. It’s fun, easy, and tasty!

Chocolate bowls

What you need

Left over chocolate, balloons, and a double boiler (or a pot and bowl which works just as good – AND its what we used)

You will also need a cookie sheet covered on wax or parchment paper to put the balloons on after dipping in chocolate!

Steps

Blow up your balloons to about 1/4 of their size.
Boil water in the pot and place your bowl into the pot once the water is boiling.
Put chocolate into the bowl and stir until its melted and all smooth.
Remove from heat.

**Tip** Chocolate should be hot enough that it is melted but not so hot that you can’t dip your finger in it. Otherwise the balloon will pop like this one.

Take the blown up balloon and roll the balloon in the chocolate coating the whole bottom with chocolate.

Once all the balloons have been dipped let them cool on the baking sheet. You can put them in the fridge to cool faster.

When deflating the balloon cut a small hole on the top. The goal is to have it deflate – NOT pop.

Slowly pull the balloon from the chocolate bowl and it is ready to use for whatever dessert you desire.

We put cut up banana’s and greek yogurt with some sprinkles in ours, and it was DELICIOUS!
