Chocolate Balloon Bowls

Cathy Wu Makes Inflatable Candy Containers an Easy Excercise

If I had a choice of how I could eat each and every one of my meals, it would definitely be out of a chocolate bowl, and now this crazy dream has become a tasty reality thanks to Cathy Wu and her homemade chocolate balloon bowl recipe.

In this easy to execute recipe, Cathy Wu lays out the framework for you to create your own balloon-inflated treats that can be paired and used to hold a wide variety of other candied snacks. One of the greatest things about Wu's balloon-inflated chocolate designs is that this cost-efficient recipe calls for only a bar of chocolate and a pack of balloons.

By heating the chocolate bar until it has melted into a liquid, you simply need to then dip your balloons into this sweet reservoir, wait for your chocolate to harden and then peel it off in order to enjoy this cocoa-inspired container.
