Preparing the Chocolate Basket
To start, you will need to gather the following ingredients:
12 ounces of milk chocolate
12 ounces of white chocolate
1 cup of heavy cream
1 tablespoon of butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 balloon
Once you have all your ingredients, begin by melting the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir continuously until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted. Next, blow up the balloon to the size you want your basket to be and place it on a lined baking sheet. Using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate over the balloon, making sure to cover the entire surface. Place the baking sheet in the fridge to allow the chocolate to harden for about 10 minutes.
Adding the White Chocolate Layer
While the milk chocolate is hardening, melt the white chocolate in the same way you melted the milk chocolate. Once melted, add in the heavy cream, butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Take the chocolate-coated balloon out of the fridge and spoon the white chocolate mixture over it, covering the entire surface. Return the balloon to the fridge for another 10 minutes to allow the white chocolate to harden.
Removing the Balloon
After the white chocolate has hardened, remove the balloon from the fridge. Using a pair of scissors, carefully pop the balloon and gently peel it off the chocolate basket. You should be left with a beautiful and sturdy chocolate basket.
Filling the Basket
Now comes the fun part – filling the basket with all sorts of Easter goodies! You can use your imagination and fill it with anything from chocolate eggs and bunnies to candies and other treats. You can also add some green edible grass to make it look like a real Easter basket. Once you have filled the basket, tie a festive ribbon around the handle for an extra special touch.
Enjoy Your Homemade Easter Treat!
