Method
  • 2 T Hundreds-and-thousands

Ingredients

Pour the hundreds-and-thousands into the balloon and inflate it.

Using a paintbrush, paint the balloon with dark chocolate and allow to set. Set aside some of the chocolate.

Stick the white chocolate buttons onto the balloon using the remaining chocolate as glue. Sprinkle with gold dust.

Pop the balloon, breaking the chocolate into shards, and serve.

    Very cool idea!

    What purpose do the 100s and 1000s serve here?

      Hello Jessica,
      The 100s and 1000s are hidden on the inside of the balloon, creating a colourful (and yes, somewhat messy) surprise when you pop the balloon in front of your guests. It’s just an added bonus, they can be omitted from the recipe too.
      Happy cooking!
