Grown Up Candy: Berries In Chocolate Bowls

I guess this kind of falls under easy homemade candy. But I hesitate to say that because, well, it's really easy. With Valentine's Day starting to sneak up on us (or maybe that's just me) it's time to start thinking about gifts and special treats to make for loved ones. I recently got these classic chocolate bowl molds and have been excited to use them ever since.Fill the molds 1/3 full with melted chocolate (I used dark chocolate). Don't over fill them or you'll have a lot of excess chocolate to shave off later, like I did. Oops. Give the mold a few taps on the counter and then press the top of the mold down onto the chocolate. Refrigerate overnight. Remove the chocolate bowls the next day.

Fill the bowls with a little jam (the jam adds sweetness as well as helps to hold the berries in place), then berries and then top with a little fresh whipped cream.I think these would be adorable to serve after a special homemade dinner. Happy candy making! xo. Emma

Oh my word, those are adorable!!! Is it wrong of me to want to try them with crème fraiche too??? So pretty - I will have to check out my local Michael's and see if they carry any.

Also, have you seen the moustache molds Wilton makes? At least, I think they still do. I got them a couple years back and they have been a hit at every party I've served them at and during MOVEMBER ;)

These look so fancy and sophisticated, especially with dark chocolate,really any excuse to eat a combination of chocolate and berries is great to me though
were the bowl molds easy to use?
I tried making chocolate cups with paper cases as molds when I was little and it was pretty fiddly

Oh my! It looks so delicious! I love berries of all kinds. During winter fresh berries are hard to get here or they're expensive but the combination of berries and chocolate is so tempting that I'd try it!
