Chocolate Balloon Bowls

• 8 small balloons, filled with air
• 24 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped, melted and cooled
• 6 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped, melted and cooled
• Assorted sprinkles, optional
• Mousse, ice cream, sorbet, assorted fresh fruit and assorted candies, optional

1. Clean balloons with a damp paper towel. Drop chocolate, 1 tablespoonful at a time, 2-3 in. apart on a parchment paper-lined
2. . There should be eight circles. Pour remaining bittersweet chocolate into a small bowl.
3. Drizzle 1 tablespoon white chocolate over bittersweet chocolate. Swirl with a toothpick or wooden skewer. Holding the tied end, dip 1 balloon halfway into bowl of melted chocolate, rolling back and forth to coat; allow excess to drip off. Repeat, adding 1 tablespoon white chocolate to bittersweet chocolate before dipping each remaining balloon.
4. To secure balloons, lightly press each one dipped side down onto a chocolate circle; wait a few seconds before releasing pressure. Refrigerate until set, 5-10 minutes. Gently pop balloons; discard. Fill as desired, with mousse, ice cream, sorbet, fresh fruit or candy.
