- Pour the marbled chocolate into the cups.
- Twist the cup as you do this (to full cover the entire thing).
- Turn the cup upside down on a piece of parchment to allow any extra chocolate to drip off and cover the fullness of the cup
- Place the cup in the freezer for 7-9 mins to set.
- Remove from the freezer.
- Add more melted chocolate on top of that filling it 3/4 full
- Return to freezer to harden for 18-25 mins
- Turn the cup upside down on your cutting board and make cuts in the rim of the cup all the way around it.
- Carefully, peel off the cup, starting at the original long slit on the side.
- Once the chocolate is released from the cup turn it right side up.
- Add a small amount of melted chocolate to the top, add mini marshmallows, peppermint sticks, and sprinkles.
- Use melted white chocolate in a piping bag to "glue" on sprinkles and additional marshmallows.
- Return to the freezer for a final set, for about 7-8 mins
Notes
Option to create cups with hot chocolate.
Instead of filling the cavity up with chocolate add 1 tbsp cocoa powder and then fill it 3/4 full with melted
chocolate. Return to freezer for 15 mins.
Then turn the cup upside down on your cutting board and make cuts in the rim of the cup all the way around it.
Carefully, peel off the cup, starting at the original long slit on the side.
Once the chocolate is released from the cup turn it right side up.
Add a small amount of melted chocolate to the top, add mini marshmallows, peppermint sticks, and sprinkles.
Use melted white chocolate in a piping bag to "glue" on sprinkles and additional marshmallows.
Return to the freezer for a final set, for about 7-8 mins Troubleshooting Guide
It cracks when unmolding:
If just the top of it breaks you can hide it, smooth it out, add more melted chocolate, and top with
marshmallows.
The shell breaks completely no way to save it? Melting it back down and try again.
This had about a 90% success rate. The more you do the better they are. Depending on your chocolate
medium (melting wafers, candy melts, or almond bark) some cups will be thicker than others and more sturdy. Amazon List
