  • Twist the cup as you do this (to full cover the entire thing).

  • 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 blue 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

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.
