Cupids Cups

I actually found this recipe last year and never got the chance to make it! So this year I went for it and I thought they turned out quite fun! I will say it was a little bit of a pain piping the chocolate. I finally just used a toothpick and drew the chocolate hearts on! Next time I might just omit the hearts!
It is a fun Valentine treat that is not chocolate but looks great! You could do this for any holiday, just change your jello color!

What You Need!
  • 1 square BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted
  • 2 cups boiling water, divided
  • 2 pkg. (3 oz. each) JELL-O Strawberry Flavor Gelatin (I did one batch with Raspberry too!)
  • 1-1/2 cups cold water, divided
  • ice cubes
  • 1 cup thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping
  • Decorations: assorted Valentine sprinkles and candies

Make It!


DRAW heart design or write Valentine's Day message in each of 8 (6-oz.) clear plastic cups by piping chocolate onto insides of cups. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm.

ADD 1 cup boiling water to 1 pkg. gelatin mix in medium bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in 1 cup cold water; pour into cups. Refrigerate 1 hour or until gelatin is firm.

MEANWHILE, add remaining boiling water to remaining gelatin mix; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add enough ice to remaining cold water to measure 1 cup. Add to gelatin; stir until thickened. Stir in COOL WHIP; spoon over gelatin layer in cups. Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm. Decorate as desired. I added a dollop of cool whip on top of each cup too!


Kraft Kitchens TipsHow to Melt Chocolate
Microwave chocolate in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 min., stirring after 30 sec. (The square will retain its shape.) Stir until chocolate is completely melted.
