How To Make peppermint bark balloon bowls

• 
  Step 1
  Wash and dry balloons before starting. Blow up balloons to about the size of a small apple. Water balloons are the perfect size, but some are rather thin, so be careful because they can pop once coated in chocolate. I had one of my balloons pop. What a mess!
• 
  Step 2
  I had never had that happen before, and wasn’t prepared for the mess a bursting balloon would cause. After I cleaned chocolate up off my walls, I got smart. I’d dip one balloon then set a large popcorn tin over top of it for one minute, in case it burst. Once the candy began to set, I knew it was alright to remove the container and dip another balloon. If one had popped the mess would have been contained.
• Step 3
  Now that you have your balloons ready, dip one into the white chocolate, remove and allow the excess to drip off. Roll into peppermint bits until well coated. I dipped my balloons rather high. If you want shorter bowls, then only dip a small amount of the balloon in white chocolate.

  Step 4
  Set the balloons on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Set the tray in the freezer for 2-3 minutes. To pop the balloons, it’s best to pull up on the tied balloon tip and cut a tiny hole. Allow some of the air to escape, then tug on the balloon and remove it from the chocolate.

  Step 5
  Once you have made all the Peppermint Bark Balloon Bowls you’d like and are ready to serve them, you can fill them with chocolate mousse or your favorite holiday treat.
