Description

These 2-Ingredient Ghost Chocolate Cups are a fun and spooky treat perfect for Halloween or any festive occasion. Made with simple melted dark and white chocolate, they feature adorable ghost designs piped on top for an impressive yet easy dessert. The recipe uses just two types of chocolate and requires no baking, making it a quick and delightful way to create themed chocolate cups with minimal ingredients and fuss.


Ingredients

Scale

Dark Chocolate

  • 3 cups dark chocolate, chopped

White Chocolate

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. Melt the dark chocolate: Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heat-proof medium bowl and microwave in 20-second intervals. After each interval, stir the chocolate thoroughly before microwaving again. Repeat this process until the dark chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  2. Prepare the dark chocolate piping bag: Spoon two tablespoons of the melted dark chocolate into a resealable plastic bag and set it aside for later use.
  3. Melt the white chocolate: In a separate heat-proof small bowl, melt the white chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds until completely melted and creamy.
  4. Prepare the white chocolate piping bag: Transfer all the melted white chocolate into another resealable plastic bag and set it aside for ghost detailing.
  5. Create the chocolate cups: Pour the remaining melted dark chocolate evenly into a silicone muffin pan. Silicone is recommended for easy removal, but other muffin pans can be used as well.
  6. Pipe the ghost shapes: Snip a tiny corner off the white chocolate bag to pipe ghost shapes. While the dark chocolate is still warm, pipe circles of white chocolate onto each cup. Then, using a toothpick or skewer, drag one end of each circle outward to form a ghost tail.
  7. Add facial features: Snip a small corner off the dark chocolate bag and pipe small eyes and mouths onto each white ghost shape for an expressive finish.
  8. Chill to set: Place the muffin pan in the fridge and chill for at least 10 minutes until the chocolate cups are fully set and firm.

Notes

  • Adapted from The Simple Sweet Life.
  • Ensure bowls and utensils are completely dry before melting chocolate; any moisture can cause chocolate to seize and become unusable.
  • For colorful ghost designs, add gel food coloring to the white chocolate or substitute with candy melts.
  • Sprinkles can be added for extra festive fun.
  • Store chocolate cups refrigerated for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze chocolate cups in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
