I saw this idea of dipping balloons into chocolate ages ago on Pinterest and I have wanted to try it ever since with the kids. I used yummy white chocolate to make these cute Easter Baskets.
Materials that you need:
White
chocolate x 4 Large bars
Small
Balloons
Tray
Spoon
Greaseproof
paper/Tin Foil
Baking
Tray
Bowl
Ribbon
Melt
the chocolate in a bowl in the microwave of over a slow heat.
Wash
and dry the balloons in warm water to get rid of any balloon
residue.
Blow
up six small balloons.
Cover
a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
Use
a spoon to make six small circular blobs of white chocolate on the
tray. This is to make a base for your baskets.
Dip
the bottom of the balloon into the bowl making sure to give it a
good covering of chocolate.
Place
the balloon onto of the first blob on the tray. Repeat six times and
leave to dry.
With
a knife burst the balloons and gently peel away the balloon shell.
You
are left with beautiful white chocolate Easter Baskets. Decorate as
you like with ribbon and chicks, chocolate goodies etc..
and don't forget the best part of course is eating them!! Yummy!!!
