So as I was browsing Bakerella one day, I saw these.
Chocolate Cups.
I fell in love. I wanted them. NOW.
I mean, how cute and simple. You melt some chocolate, blow up some balloons and the dip the balloon in chocolate.
O.M.G.
I don't know what I did wrong but HOLY COW this did NOT work out for me!
Dipped one balloon and POP.
You do not want to know what happens when a balloon covered in melted chocolate pops. I should have taken a picture. Lets just say, I had to change my clothes, wash my face and my hair and scrub my entire kitchen- ceiling included.
OK- chocolate must have been too hot. Let's try again.
Let the chocolate cool some and dipped the next balloon.
Nothing! Woot! I am going to have chocolate bowls!
NOT!
5 seconds after I placed it on the wax paper POP.
OK now I am pissed. This should be an easy project.
Try again.
NO pop!
And again, NO pop!
FINALLY getting the hang of it!
Dip- POP!
Dip- POP
I can honestly say that it is a good thing my girls were napping because quite a few curse words came out of my mouth at this point.
And I gave up.
Forget it. No more chocolate bowls, this is insane and my kitchen now looks like a chocolate person was murdered in it. Chocolate was EVERYWHERE. And I am still finding chocolate splatter in places I swore I cleaned already.
Since I had chocolate melted already, I quickly slapped some peanut butter on some Ritz crackers and dipped those.
{See the splatter- multiply that by 1000 and that is what my kitchen looked like}
But, at least I had 2 chocolate bowls. Sam would be happy, right?
WRONG!
This is what happened when I tried to pop the balloons...
My bowls imploded and broke.
I can honestly say I will NEVER try making these again. NE-VER.
