Chocolate bowls

What better to have homemade ice cream in than chocolate bowls! Daniel and I made these for our date last weekend. The instructions call for a small balloon. We had what we thought were small balloons, but the bowls were a lot bigger than we were expecting. Yep, we filled the larger bowls... Probably water balloon size would work best.

Chocolate Bowls

Melt whatever chocolate you want to use in the microwave 30 seconds at a time until melted. (We used  semi-sweet chocolate chips.) Let cool to room temperature. Using the back of a spoon, put chocolate onto the bottom of a blown up balloonto make a bowl shape. Make it thick enough for a bowl, but watch out! They get a little top heavy. Put a dollop of chocolate on some wax paper. Place the chocolate covered balloon on the dollop. Let sit until hardened. If you are impatient (we were) put it (carefully) into the fridge to harden. When the bowl is hardened, slowly let the air out of the balloon. And there you have it, a perfect ice cream bowl.
