Things You'll Need:
- Hershey's chocolate bars
- Microwave
- Microwave safe bowl
- Cordial cup candy mold
- Paint brush
-
Step 1
Buy chocolate candy cup molds (see link in Resources). These are essential to making your chocolate candy cups and they only cost $4 per sheet.
-
Step 2
Count how many guests so you will know how many cups to make. For each guest, get out one Hershey's chocolate bar. So if you have four guests, you will need four bars of Hershey's chocolate.
-
Step 3
Melt the chocolate bars in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl. Start at 1 minute and then check every 30 seconds. Mix until completely melted.
-
Step 4
Pour your melted chocolate in to the molds you bought. Fill each mold halfway.
-
Step 5
Take a new paint brush and use it to brush chocolate in each mold. Go up the sides of the mold. When you are done, your molds will look like half-filled shot glasses. Make sure the paint brush you use is set aside and only used for this purpose.
-
Step 6
Slide your chocolate molds into the refrigerator for 10 minutes. You don't want to cover them at this point.
-
Step 7
Take the chocolate out of the molds. If you have any trouble doing this, just run hot water under the mold and the cup will slide right out.
-
Step 8
Fill the chocolate candy cup with your favorite complimentary food. For example, you could fill them with peanut butter for a type of peanut butter cup. You could fill them with cherry pie filling or even melted caramel.
