Treat Day Wednesday–Mini Chocolate Mousse’s in Edible bowls

moussecups

Now that the pink is gone, at least in food colour, I thought I’d make a fan favourite. Chocolate Mousse!

It’s one of my favourite food groups ever and yes it’s a food group.  Don’t judge :)

I also wanted to make it a little more fun for the girls so I made edible bowls.  I have done the balloon method before but wanted to try the chocolate box technique.  I used tiny plastic cups and drizzled chocolate to make the cups.  Stuck them in the fridge and then popped them out when set. Aren’t they cute!
