Recipe
CHOCOLATE SACK:
1. Melt candy caps according to package instructions.
2. Paint the inside of a small paper bag completely with chocolate.
3. Chill and repeat painting until no visible thin spots appear. Usually 3 coats is adequate.
4. When the chocolate appears thick and completely covers inside of sack, place in refrigerator until hardened. Peel sack away carefully.
CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE CONTAINERS:
1. Melt candy caps according to package instructions.
2. Paint inside of a cupcake liner completely with chocolate. One thick or two thinner coats. Chill and repeat process if necessary.
3. When the chocolate appears thick and completely covers inside of liner, chill in refrigerator until hardened. Peel liner away.
CHOCOLATE BALLOON CUP:
1. Start with a good quality small round latex balloon.
Partially inflate. Coat lightly with cooking spray.
2. Melt candy caps according to package instructions. Remove from heat and place in bowl large enough to accommodate part of balloon. (If marbleizing is desired, melt colors separately, pour into a bow and swirl with toothpick to achieve marbled effect.)
3. Holding balloon by top, dip small sections at a time rotating balloon around. Top of chocolate will appear irregular or similar to a scalloped edge.
4. Place on wax paper. However balloon is placed on the wax
paper will determine how it will sit when hardened. Chill in refrigerator until hardened. Pop balloon making sure all remnants are removed.
