How to Make Edible Chocolate Dessert Bowls Made with Balloons
#1. Wash, rinse, and completely dry the balloons. Inflate balloons to the size of the bowl you wish to create.
#2. Spray each balloon with a light coating of non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
#3. Place dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 2-3 minutes, stopping to stir every 30 seconds.
#4. When the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, spoon a small amount onto the parchment paper. This will become the base for your chocolate bowl.
#5. Carefully dip the balloons into the melted chocolate. Use a spoon to smooth the chocolate if necessary. You’ll want the coating to be fairly even in thickness. Place the chocolate-coated balloon onto the chocolate base you created on the parchment paper.
#6. Place the chocolate bowls in the freezer for 20-30 minutes or until completely hard.
#7. Remove the bowls from the freezer and use a knife or a pin to pop the balloon.
Remove all of the balloon remnants from the bowls. Return the bowls to the freezer until ready to use. Enjoy!

These delicate chocolate bowls can be made any size, depending on the size of the balloon you use. There are many possibilities for what could be served in these edible bowls!
