<strong>Chocolate discs or a chopped block of chocolate are better for melting than chocolate chips<\/strong>. Chocolate chips are designed to hold their chip shape and don&#8217;t melt as well. Some chips, like Nestle white chocolate chips, won&#8217;t melt at all. Also, because you want the cup to be nice and shiny, you should start with tempered chocolate; very few chocolate chips are tempered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;re going to need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Pantry-Elements-Silicone-Cupcake-Liners\/dp\/B00COWLXJ4\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=cupcakeprojec-20&amp;linkId=f14794856709871e1771aa6df2de0dd1&amp;language=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer noopener noreferrer\">silicone cupcake liners [paid link]<\/a>.

<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">As you can see from the photos, <strong>I chose to use a mix of white and dark chocolate for my cups<\/strong>. You, however, can use whatever kind of chocolate you like.<\/p>
<\/div>
<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1608573111376\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why do I have to temper the chocolate?<\/strong>
<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">In order for the chocolate cups to come out properly, you must temper the chocolate first. <strong>Tempering is a special way of melting chocolate that makes it look shiny when it dries.<\/strong> When chocolate isn&#8217;t properly tempered, it can look dull and gray when it dries.<br\/><br\/><em>There are many ways to temper chocolate.<\/em> You&#8217;ll see in my post on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cupcakeproject.com\/how-to-make-bonbons\/\"><strong>bonbons<\/strong>
<\/a>that when a pro tempers chocolate, they often do so on a marble slab.<br\/><br\/>I like to use the microwave method where you <strong>melt almost all of your chocolate, but leave just a little unmelted to stir in at the end<\/strong>. You&#8217;re going to have to start off with tempered chocolate to use this method. I go into far more detail in my post on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cupcakeproject.com\/how-to-temper-chocolate-like-pro\/\"><strong>tempered chocolate<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>
<\/div>
<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1608573396397\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do you store chocolate cups?<\/strong>
<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Chocolate cups can be stored <strong>at room temperature<\/strong> just like you would store a bar of chocolate. Keep them in a covered container (it doesn&#8217;t have to be airtight).<br\/><br\/>They will last a really long time. I&#8217;ve kept them as long as one month, but they would likely last far longer.<\/p>
<\/div>
<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1608573484214\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use this technique to make other shapes?<\/strong>
<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes; the melted chocolate hardens into the shape of whatever you are painting it onto. This is the same technique that people use to make <a href=\"https:\/\/divascancook.com\/edible-chocolate-bowls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener noopener noreferrer\">chocolate bowls using blown up balloons<\/a>.<br\/><br\/>I encourage you to experiment with different sizes and shapes of silicone cupcakes like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0CP26CKGL\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0CP26CKGL&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=cupcakeprojec-20&amp;th=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">triangles [paid link]<\/a>\u00a0or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Freshware-CB-301SC-12-Pack-Silicone-Reusable-x\/dp\/B00OPXLHH8\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=home-gardenu0026ie=UTF8u0026qid=1547345169u0026sr=1-22u0026keywords=square+silicone+moldsu0026linkCode=ll1u0026tag=cupcakeprojec-20u0026linkId=ac79852d8e1381ba5db934b4f92930dau0026language=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener noopener noreferrer\">squares [paid link]<\/a>.

<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">When you make them, be sure to cover the whole surface area of each silicone cup, including the sides, so there aren&#8217;t any holes. But, if you find that there are holes after they harden, you can always add another layer or two of chocolate in those spots.<\/p>
