CHOCOLATE PASTRY CUPS

Steps:

• Cook pastry cups according to package directions. Remove from pan and let cool.
• When cooled, remove circular "tops" with a fork and save. Remove enough "top" so that 3/4 of the cup is hollow.
• Spoon chocolate pudding into the cup just until it's level with the rim.
• Place in fridge loosely covered until serving.
• Serve with a scoop of whipped topping on top.
• **This is just as good prepared with lowfat/fat free products.
• **For a fruit cup, mix 1 block cream cheese, with 1/2 cup whipped topping and powdered sugar to taste. Place two tablespoons mixture into cup, then top with sliced fresh fruit of your choice. Melt 1/4 cup of your favorite jam and drizzle entire cup with melted jam.
• **For the chef only: since you made them, you get to eat the best part -- the "tops"! Use them to scoop up the extra pudding!

CHOCOLATE CUPS RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• With the help of a spoon, fill each candy cup to the brim with chocolate.
• Allow the chocolate to sit for a few minutes, just until it starts to set around the edges.
• Then grasp each candy cup by the bottom and invert it over the bowl of chocolate, letting the excess drip out. Once the extra chocolate is gone, you'll be left with a thin, even coating on the sides and bottom of your candy cup.
• Allow the chocolate in the cups to solidify by placing all the cups on a baking sheet at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
• Once the chocolate has solidified, carefully peel each paper liner until all the cup comes out in one piece. Use your favorite fillings.
