How To Make Chocolate Bowls with a Balloon (schokoladenschalen mit luftballons)

Materials

• Water balloons
• Wax paper
• Nonstick oil spray
• Hot plate or microwave
• Candy thermometer
• Pans, or large glass measuring cups or bowls if using a microwave
• Measuring cup
• 4 cups dark chocolate in a block, not chips
• cups white chocolate in a block, not chips
• Straight pin
• Whipped cream
• Fruit
• Baking sheets or trays
• Spoons
• Sugar sprinkles for decoration
• Small bowls
• Frosting decorating bag
• Paper towels

1. Clear a good-sized space in your refrigerator to hold a baking tray with two blown-up balloons on it, and another baking tray with frosting designs.
2. Blow up several water balloons, tie them closed, and set them aside.
3. Cover two baking sheets with wax paper and set aside.
4. Melt a pan of white chocolate and another pan of dark chocolate in the microwave or on the hot plate. You may also choose to steam-melt the chocolate. Place the solid chocolate into a bowl. Place the bowl on top of an open pan of boiling water. This will prevent the chocolate from burning.
5. Stir until melted. The pans or bowls of melted chocolate don’t need to be too hot.
6. Let the chocolate cool a bit, but be sure the chocolate does not begin to solidify again.
7. Use the spoon to take a large spoonful of white chocolate. Make a small pool of white chocolate on the wax paper. This will become the flat base of the bowl.
8. Lightly spray nonstick oil on a paper towel and smear the oil on the bottom half of a balloon.
9. Dip the balloon into the pan of chocolate so the chocolate covers the half of the balloon with the oil on it. The pan should not be too wide, or the chocolate will not be deep enough.
10. Lift the balloon straight up out of the chocolate.
11. Stand the balloon up on its chocolate end in the pool of white chocolate.
12. Repeat with another balloon.
13. Place the pans of stand-up chocolatized balloons in the refrigerator to cool.
14. To make chocolate accent designs, put some of the melted chocolate into a frosting decorating bag. Cut the tip off the bag or use a nozzle, and make and squeeze out thick designs on wax paper. Refrigerate the designs.
15. Remove the balloon bowls from the refrigerator and pop each balloon with a pin.
16. Pull out the excess latex of the balloon and discard.
17. Fill the bowl with whipped cream, sliced fruit, sugar sprinkles, and the cooled chocolate designs.
