Chocolate Picasos


We have been trying to find ways to incorporate the kids in the kitchen activities, as they really seem to enjoy helping.  As such, I decided to let the children help me make chocolate cups as part of a dinner we were having the next day.  Combining delicious treats with arts and craft time?  Brilliant!  We used mini silicone baking cups, the best tempering chocolate we could find, and a couple of paint brushes.  It's quite a bit of work, but when doing it for the right people, and with two helpers like these - I'd do it again in a heartbeat.  It wasn't until after we finished painting all 24 cups that I allowed the children to paint their own tongues.

Grace really concentrated on getting the chocolate perfectly even over the entire surface.
