Edible Snack Bowl Recipes

EDIBLE CHOCOLATE BOWL

Steps:

• Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, stirring occasionally. Continue heating the chocolate for 10 seconds at a time until completely melted; be careful not to burn the chocolate. Stir until smooth. Let it cool slightly; the heat can pop the balloons.
• Blow up 2 latex balloons to 4 to 6 inches in diameter and tie. Carefully dip each balloon in the chocolate. Rotate and slightly tilt each balloon, allowing the chocolate to go up the sides. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the chocolate up the sides.
• Cool the balloons in the refrigerator tie-side down in a glass bowl or muffin tin for 5 minutes to set. Carefully snip the ties off with scissors to remove the balloons. The balloons should separate from the chocolate. If the balloons are still stuck to the chocolate, carefully peel off.
• If you'd like the bowls to sit flat for serving, add a dollop of melted chocolate, about 1/2 tablespoon, to the center of the bottom of the bowls and place on a piece of parchment paper. Let set in the refrigerator for a few minutes.

SWIRLED EDIBLE BOWLS

Steps:

• Inflate 8 small balloons; gently wash the tops and pat dry. Melt 1 1/2 cups white candy melts and 1/2 cup each red and blue candy melts in separate bowls; let cool slightly. Spread 8 small circles of the white candy onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (these will be the bases of the bowls).
• Spoon the red and blue candy into the remaining white candy, then use a skewer to gently swirl (don't over mix). Dip the top quarter of each balloon in the candy; twist the balloon slightly to create a swirled look, then lift out and let the excess drip off. Place the balloon candy-side down on a circle of white candy melts. Refrigerate until set, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Carefully make a small cut near the knot on each balloon to slowly deflate it, then gently peel the balloon away from the bowl. Refrigerate or freeze the bowls until ready to serve. Fill with ice cream or berries and whipped cream.

EDIBLE CEREAL TREAT BOWLS FOR ICE CREAM SUNDAES

Steps:

• Spray the insides of the larger bowls from 2 sets of nesting small cereal bowls with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Stir in the cereal and coat thoroughly in the marshmallows. Transfer the cereal mixture to a large bowl to cool slightly until you can handle it. The mixture should still be warm.
• Spray your hands with cooking spray and work the cereal treat into the prepared cereal bowls. Spray the bottoms of the 2 smaller bowls and press into the cereal treat mixture to form bowls. Allow the cereal treats to cool to room temperature and harden.
• Once cooled, unmold the bowls, add your favorite ice cream and toppings and enjoy!
