Chocolate Cups

Compliments of taste of home. You need about 1 inch foil or paper cupcake cups ( these little suckers are small compared to the regular sized cups). Can usually be found at a party or dollar store. You will also need a small flat never used paint brush or pastry brush. They say to add a dollop of whipped cream and then float on top of hot chocolate. I'm thinking that you could whip up a butterscotch (or other) pudding and place inside or place sliced strawberries with whipped cream on top. Why not get even more creative and place maraschino cherries inside with a syrup and whipped cream. Let me know what you've done.

Steps

In a microwave safe bowl , melt chocolate chips and shortening for 1 to 2 minutes , stirring until smooth.
With the brush , spread the chocolate mixture on the inside of the foil or paper cups.
Place on a baking sheet.
Refrigerate until firm.
About 45 minutes.
Just before assembling , remove the foil or paper cup.
Fill with desired filling.
