Easter is still a few weeks away but the kids and I have been experimenting with dessert Easter recipes that we might want to go with our meal. I think Imperial Sugar’s Chocolate Bowls are the winner. It’s such a super simple idea but you can personalize the chocolate bowls in a zillion ways.
1. Blow up balloons – but keep them rather small as this will be the size of your bowl. (We used water balloons and they were the perfect size!) James was able to blow up his balloon but I had to help Colin with his.
2. Warm chocolate chips until they are melted – but not too warm or else it’ll pop the balloon – and dip the balloon.
3. On a piece of wax paper or a silicon mat, make a small ‘chocolate plate’. Place the balloon on the ‘plate’ so that the bowl sits flat on the table after it’s hardened.
4. Refrigerate bowls for at least 30 minutes, pop the balloon and then decorate with royal icing.
5. Refrigerate (or freeze) until you want to use them. Fill with goodies and serve!

These are so cute. I love how the bowls are made with balloons. Fun!
I love this idea on making Chocolate Bowls for Easter! These are so great and I am going to make them for Easter and put candy in them. Thanks for the idea!!
Spray your balloon with cooking spray before you dip them! The balloon comes out MUCH easier!
Sara this is a fantastic idea! I will have to try this with my own kids!!
These are an awesome idea!!!
we’d fill them with ice cream, making it an edible bowl
What a neat idea and fun for my grandsons to help me with! Delicious, too!
These are really neat! Who doesn’t love an edible bowl? Oh you know what I just thought of! This would make a great ice cream dish. 😀
YES it would!!
These are super sweet and so simple!!! I can’t wait to make some with my little one!
