Raspberries & Chocolate...How Clever

I love this simple idea seen on pinterest.  We made some today and I love the combination of two of my favorite things.  Raspberries have nearly 5 grams of fiber per 1/2 cup.  Insert a semi-sweet chocolate chip in the top of the raspberry and this little snack is a healthy guilty pleasure.  Pure and simple.  

Edible White Chocolate Bowl

I am always looking for a candy dish to set my fudge on to give as  gifts during the Christmas holiday.  This recipe is so easy and fun!  All you need is a small smooth bowl covered with foil and  chocolate!

I used white chocolate but you can use milk or semi sweet chocolate if you wish. 

Put  a small bowl in the freezer covered smoothly with foil and get cold.  Melt chocolate according to directions on box.  The block chocolate or disks work best. Put in a pastry bag and apply to the cold bowl smoothly covered with aluminum foil.  Make circular or whatever design you like applying three times. After each application put on a paper plate in the freezer till set.
