Woot, Woot! My rss reader has had a post teaser on it that I could not seem to get removed, but it is now off! Yeah! I think that I might have actually jumped up and down and shouted for joy!
So let’s celebrate with a little chocolate!
I saw these in an ad that came in the mail and I decided to give it a try and see if I could make some on my own. I liked the results and my family loved these!
They are beautiful to look at and oh so yummy and wouldn’t these be a fun little Valentine gift for that special little someone?
So does anyone else want to try their hand at making these little beauties?
I used my mini muffin tin and lined it with papers.
Melt your chocolate. I used the Guittard apeels, but you can use any good melting chocolate. If you have a condiment bottle it works wonders for putting the chocolate into the bottom of the cups. I just keep the chocolate in this bottle and reuse it over and over.
To melt your chocolate, put it in the microwave for 1 minute on 50% power. Stir and repeat for 30 seconds at 50% power. Stir and repeat if necessary. It is better to go slow and stir the chocolate to melt it and not let the chocolate burn!
Squirt or spoon into the bottom of the cups.
Using the back of a spoon spread the chocolate all the way up the side of the cups. The one thing I learned is that you want the sides to be thick enough that they won’t break when you remove the paper, so be sure to get plenty of chocolate up the sides.
Let them cool and set up
After they have set up, remove the paper. Don’t they look cute already?
Add your washed and dried raspberries. I could fit 3 in each cup. (I added a little bit of chocolate in the bottom of each cup to hold the raspberries in place)
Drizzle with some white chocolate
Oh so beautiful! Wouldn’t your Valentine absolutely love you if you made these? :)
These little beauties taste as good as they look with the fresh berries in them!
Even though the strawberries in the stores are not the very best yet, I could not resist dipping a few to go with the raspberries and they did look so pretty side by side! 
yummy!!! we love chocolate and raspberries!!! new visitor :)
Thanks, glad to have you visit! Come again :)
My hubby and I went to a chocolate shop in the mall and fell in love with these! We went again a couple of week ago and they were no longer making these! We were so bummed. So I thought they would make the perfect Valentine treat! Your recipe for it is exactly what I have been looking for. I wanted cups.
One question though, how do you keep the chocolate from falling off the sides of the cups? Or does it naturally just stay up?
Thanks for posting this! :)
Just use the back of a spoon and push the chocolate all the way to the top of the paper and it does just stay there. You should make sure that your chocolate is not too warm. You will want to work with chocolate that is just barely melted. Good luck. Let me know how this works for you!
YUMMM! I love looking at these and wish I could be there to help you eat them!! Stopping by from Oopsey Daisy.

These are gorgeous! I love how easy they are!
They turned out so professional looking, I love them! I have seen some great chocolate cups, and these are the prettiest with the rippled sides. Can’t wait to try it.
