Steps:
- 1. Place chocolate chips in a glass bowl (I used a 1-cup glass measuring cup) for 45 seconds on High power in microwave oven. Add raspberry preserves and chopped nuts, and stir well. If chocolate is not completely melted, return bowl to microwave and continue to heat on High at 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until chocolate is completely melted.
- 2. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the melted chocolate mixture into 12 foil-lined candy cups, filled about 3/4 full. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the individual desserts to "set".
- 3. Optional: Garnish each with a fresh raspberry or fresh chocolate shavings for added appeal.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
- Melt the chocolate slowly and carefully. Overheating can cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy.
- Use a variety of toppings to add flavor and texture to your chocolate cups. Some popular options include nuts, dried fruits, sprinkles, and candy.
- Be creative with your fillings. You can use anything from ganache to peanut butter to ice cream.
- Make sure the chocolate cups are completely chilled before serving. This will help them hold their shape.
Conclusion:
Mini chocolate cups are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, and other special occasions. With a little creativity, you can create your own unique chocolate cups that are sure to impress your friends and family.
