I absolutely love this one.  What better bowl to hold your favorite pudding or custard than a chocolate bowl.  Add your favorite fruit and you have a super cute and delicious dessert.  One more thought, you can add a tiny piece of mint for a more colorful experience.

There's a couple of ways to make the bowl.
You can line a bowl with wax paper, pour a bit of melted chocolate to the bowl (not too hot but very fluid), take the back side of a spoon to spread it around and up the sides.  You most likely will need to do this a few time to build up a good thickness.  Once the chocolate is completely cooled, you can peal the wax paper off and you have a chocolate bowl.
Another way to do this is to dip a slightly inflated balloon in the warm chocolate, let it cool a bit while you hold the balloon so you don't have an issue with too much drip around the bottom.  Allow to cool and repeat a few times to build up the thickness.  After your last dip, sit on a flat surface and hold for a couple of minutes so that you have a slightly flat bottom for your bowl. Again, don't dip in really hot chocolate or you will have busting balloons.  After the chocolate is completely cooled, cut balloon and peal off.
