Chocolate Piñata Ingredients
Method
Instructions
- 1
Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth.

Form the Piñata
Pour half of the melted chocolate into a balloon or a piñata mold. Swirl it around to coat the inside evenly, then refrigerate until set (about 30 minutes). Repeat with the other half of the chocolate to create a thicker shell, refrigerating again until fully hardened.
