Time 40m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 3

12 ounces chocolate candy coating (or chopped chocolate)
Small candy cups (preferably the foil variety)
Small, clean paint brush (optional)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • With the help of a spoon, fill each candy cup to the brim with chocolate.
  • Allow the chocolate to sit for a few minutes, just until it starts to set around the edges.
  • Then grasp each candy cup by the bottom and invert it over the bowl of chocolate, letting the excess drip out. Once the extra chocolate is gone, you'll be left with a thin, even coating on the sides and bottom of your candy cup.
  • Allow the chocolate in the cups to solidify by placing all the cups on a baking sheet at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
  • Once the chocolate has solidified, carefully peel each paper liner until all the cup comes out in one piece. Use your favorite fillings.
  • Enjoy!
  • Fill a cup about a quarter of the way full of chocolate, then use a paintbrush to paint the chocolate up the sides of the cup to the top.
  • Try to create an even layer, and inspect the cups as you finish them to make sure there are no weak, streaky areas.
  • Allow the chocolate in the cups to solidify by placing all the cups on a baking sheet at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
  • Once the chocolate has solidified, carefully peel each paper liner until all the cup comes out in one piece. Use your favorite fillings.
  • Enjoy!
