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

I love this!
We do a special candle light dinner with our kids
On valentines day and these will be a perfect addition! π
Oh YUM!!!!
Oh my word, those are adorable!!! Is it wrong of me to want to try them with crΓ¨me 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 π

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

Oooooo.. That looks soo yummy., Have a nice day.

Yummy. And simple! It gets double points!
I am thinking vanilla ice cream too! Yummy
I am totally craving a mid-afternoon work day sweet snack and these look amazing, I might have to try these this weekend!
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!

these look perfectly simple! i wish i didn’t love chocolate as much as i do, but this is a good way to at least get some fruit in there with it.
These are SO cute. They’d be the perfect way to end a dinner with friends!

These look AMAZING. So simple but seem so well-planned. I used to love making easter eggs with my nan using moulds like these, so clever and so much nicer to have home-made things!
Yum! This is exactly my kind of dessertβa little fruit, a little chocolate!
That looks soooo decadent!!!;) makes me forget about about the atkins diet!!;)

lovely!! so simple and yet rich and delicious, i’m sure. booking this one!
Oh my gosh, these look so good! Thanks for posting such awesome and inspiring post!

Emma, I love this idea and these candy are actually pretty cute. But aren’t berries completely out of season?… (if not, sorry for This remark, I live in Europe and have no idea of Springfield’s climate…)
These couldn’t possibly be any cuter! Gaaah so adorable!

I love making chocolate bowls! They’re always a hit and very versatile when it comes to using different chocolates and what you can fill them with! ^.^
Nina- I had no trouble picking up some from my local grocery store. I’m not sure if this really makes them in season though. But you could certainly use any fruit you prefer. π
put them in the freezer for 10 minutes and the chocolate molds should pop right out π
Those look yummy!! I never realized how easy it was to make chocolate shapes in bowls!!
Mackenzie
http://www.heybirdfriend.com
definitely going to give this a try!
Is it bad as soon as I saw the chocolate bowls I imagined filling them with peanut butter and Nutella?
These are making my mouth water! I feel like they’re sort of healthy too because you eat lots of berries…at least that’s how I’ll rationalize it to myself π
These would make great Valentine’s gifts!
This is very sensible. i used to be pleasantly stunned to check this information therefore well place along, undoubtedly attending to post this on facebook that the husband will see it. Cheers!
Sounds so yummy! And the simplicity of them makes them look even better.

I love this idea, is it wrong that I want it for breakfast and dessert?
i’m currently having a “nothingfillsmeupican’tstopeating” kind of day, and these are not helping that feeling! but for real, i always forget about candy molds, we used to use them with my mom all the time! i may need to add some items to my grocery list…
A must try! Thank you for sharing.
Yuuum these look amazing Emma!
Those candy molds are great. I would totally do this for a party.

Cute chocolate bowls! I’ve always wanted to make chocolate bowls using a balloon. I’ve seen it done, and it looks amazing!

How simple and beautiful! This would make a perfect Valentine’s desert. Thanks for sharing!
What a great idea…. and so many variations spring to mind! Mix cream cheese and cream with lemon (or orange!) zest for cheesecake style with blueberries or caramel/dulce de leche topped with bananas and whipped cream for banofee pie inspired. Such a simple idea but really impressive and YUM!
Oh my, that looks both cute and delicious! What a creative way to eat berries, haha.
it looks so cute π I make similar but I make the cups by my own. Only difference is that I just melt the chocolate and I put it in a paper cup and than (after solidify) just peel of π love yours articles! π
YUM! so cute, i have to do this!
mmm looks delicious and cute! π

YUM! such a clever idea to use the molds π I usually make chocolate cups with baking paper over an upside down bowl in the freezer for a few seconds!
http://andgeesaid.blogspot.com.au/
This looks really tasty! Berries and chocolate, a good combination.
Yum! I’d probably use small strawberries and dip the tips in a bit of chocolate to hold in place. Love some chocolate and strawberries!
Thanks for sharing this super easy treat!

These look like the perfect dessert!! Not too heavy, fresh berries, and chocolate is involved!!

WTC!!!
Yummy!!!! Thanks for the idea π I think I am gonna try it with white chocolate π
YUM! http://louiseinperson.wordpress.com/
Drizzling chocolate on top of the berries adds an extra YUM to these! Godiva makes these as well, but these are much-more wallet friendly π
love! what a fantastic idea and very different then the typical valentines food ideas I’ve seen so far. Didn’t know about these wilton chocolates will have to get some of these asap and try this idea. thanks! xx. gigi. food and beauty blogger @ http://www.gigikkitchen.blogspot.com

I couldn’t help but notice that you have used the Spanish marmelade Hero. My absolute favourite. Reminds me of my spansih grandmother. She always used to have Hero plum marmelade and Hero apricot marmelade. Toast, summer & marmelade. I had no idea you could get Hero in the US.
How fun!
Oh wow! These look yummy π
My dream today !
such a great idea! these would make lovely little gifts or treats at a party π
