I seem to love Valentine’s Day more and more every year. It used to be my least favorite holiday (back when I was an angsty teenager) but now I’ve fallen in love with a day that’s all about celebrating love. I don’t really buy into the Hallmark aspect of it all, but I think it’s wonderful just having a day set aside where we get dressed up and spend time together just to appreciate the love we share. Plus, I don’t mind the chocolate. Speaking of chocolate…wanna learn how to make a cup out of some?
This is such a fun recipe and I was so excited to see how easy it is to do. My cups are not perfect but I think they’re even more elegant in their imperfection. 😉 Each one is completely unique–I love how the chocolate melts and hardens differently with each cup.
Since the technique is a little bizarre, I thought this would be a good opportunity to do a vlog on how to make them! I’m a total Youtube junkie so I love videos and have been meaning to make one here for a long time. I hope you guys like it! I’m definitely not a natural, but I could work on it. 🙂
Haha many bloopers were made and I did a lot of awkward glancing away from the camera, but I hope it was still helpful!
Besides the ones I filled with berries and cream, I filled another with Ashley’s chocolate chocolate chip yogurt as an even healthier option. So yummy!
I had some fun with these little bowls, it’s like doing art! My favorite way was to dip them unevenly on different sides and get this really pretty tulip shape!
Seriously, go get yourself some ballons and turn yourself into a chocolatier!
Thanks for reading!

I love vlogs! You sound just like I imagined you would 🙂 And the chocolate cups are precious. Joey watched with me and made the excellent point that those look fancy enough to be in an expensive restaurant, but they’re way cheaper to make yourself.
